Sadly, we all know this sub-par alternative will be a disaster that will go in the history books. In 40 years I'll tell my grandchildren, "I remember a time when you would have to wait 10 minutes to load a video on the Internet" and they'll laugh and call me crazy. But the sad fact of the matter is, the LNP party have outdated views on not only Internet access but gay marriage, the economy and way things work in the real world.
It's going to be a bumpy 3 years, but LNP won't get another term after all of the crap they've pulled. If I were on the board I'd rather get out before the impending ship of failure sinks (and trust me, it will).
I agree. Compare what happened in New Zealand when John Key and the National party ousted the long-term Labor government.
Despite some major missteps from Key/National, Labor's spent the last term and a half fighting amongst themselves about who will lead it. There just wasn't the talent or the public respect for the interim leaders that could compete with Key.
My money's on a few Liberal terms in government, I'm afraid. The scary thing is, the second time they get voted in, they'll treat it was a strengthened mandate to do what they want.

This whole fiasco reminds me of a hilarious satire article I read recently on an Australian satire site called The Shovel: http://theshovel.com.au/2013/08/26/malcolm-turnbull-launches...

Never underestimate the power of the opposition to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
We could be having Labor leadership scuffles for the next three years.
