    his own party could not stand him.

    Malcolm is a 'moderate Liberal'. Don't like this right wing backstabbing faction, beholden to the dirty digger.

    Posted on 20th Feb, didn't take long for this prediction to come true.
    Facebook are now paying - big climbdown from Facebook.

    Good on the Aussie Govt for sticking to their guns, the floodgates are now open for the rest of the world to follow. Canada will be next.
