I believe the closest U.S. analogy of Turnbull would be a McCain RINO.
To: Ann Archy .... Is Turnbull a Republican or a Democrat??
I believe the closest American comparison places Turnbull a McCain RINO ....
I’d say that’s close but Turnbull’s pathological narcissism has such a hold on him as to make him more similar to the every-bit-as-criminally-arrogant silly sookie, Sayyid Soetoro.
In Australia’s slightly less-recent past the as-eletist, as-imperialistic and absolutely-ideologically-identical (to Turnbull) Maoist traitor, Edward Gough Whitlam (who - effectively - was Australia’s “new-dealing” F D Roosevelt) comes closest.
Effective Big Government fascists, all.
