Only with...Indeed, the previous day he covered up. Only with the revelation both that covering up wouldn't fly AND that the truth would hurt Abbott did he tell the truth. Given the way he has acted with respect to Brandis (who blatantly lied on the subject of the Solicitor-General's advice on the stripping-citizenship bill, whatever you think of his sophistry surrounding whether he consulted with the Solicitor-General on the procedural changes concerning briefs to the S-G) let's not be so quick to give Turnbull credit for anything, shall we?

T..."Turnbull was right to call him out."<br /><br />This is the bit I don't get. Dutton and Keenan were put in a position where they had no choice but to contradict Abbott. They called him out. Turnbull dithered.<br /><br />How one can hold the position that Abbott shot himself in the foot, yet also that Turnbull is showing some fight at last, is a mystery to me. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
