Malcolm Turnbull phobia is what will destroy the Liberal Party
It was most entertaining this morning listening to the 2GB screechers denouncing Malcolm Turnbull for remarks he made in Indonesia. There are people who just love hating someone and for the moment Malcolm is the number one hated one.
But a tweet this morning suggest that the anger is being wrongly directed.

Unless Malcolm Turnbull is telling an outrageous lie, what he said to Indonesian President Joko Widodo was what Prime Minister Scott Morrison had asked him to say on the subjects of trade and the location of the Australian embassy in Israel. Making public the "detailed paper on the issue in my official brief" would clarify matters but my guess is that it will take a leak by a whistle blower for that to happen.A few facts. @ScottMorrisonMP asked me to discuss trade and the embassy issue in Bali and we had a call before I left to confirm his messages which I duly relayed to @jokowi There was a detailed paper on the issue in my official brief as well.— Malcolm Turnbull (@TurnbullMalcolm) November 1, 2018
So my previous tweet - a simple statement of fact has been described in the media as “lashing out” (the Oz) or as a “public rebuke” (SMH). Neither characterisation is reasonable, but is objective reporting unadorned by sensationalism a thing of the past?— Malcolm Turnbull (@TurnbullMalcolm) November 1, 2018
