Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has had one helluva week, barely deflecting one leadership spill before facing today’s, which rolled him good and hard. So how did he spend his last night as PM? He hit the fucking piss, folks.

Speaking with KIIS FM this morning, Liberal MP Craig Laundy – one of old mate Malcolm’s loyal supporters – said the then PM was “shattered” and that the two of them spent the night getting on the turps in Canberra.
“I was with [Malcolm Turnbull] last night,” he said. “We were having some glasses of red wine and champagne. He’s shattered basically, I would say.”
It was the Kyle & Jackie O show, so of course, Kyle translated Craig’s comments to “on the piss with the PM” and “going out on a blinder”, which is probably a fair way to phrase it.
As you’re probably aware, things didn’t pan out well for Malcolm at all today, with the party room voting between Peter Dutton, Scott Morrison, and Julie Bishop as the next party leader. Old mate ScoMo came out on top to become Australia‘s new PM.
Laundy went on to agree that we’re all in the right for being pissed off with all of this bullshit. “The Australian public should be cranky with us. While we’re fighting among ourselves, we’re not thinking about them,” he said.
Now that they have their third leader in place, maybe they can start to function more like a government and less like a bag of riled-up cats.
Yeah, I’m not getting my hopes up, either.
