A ‘wish I’d said that’ moment.

Former PM and lifelong pestilence Malcolm Turnbull is writing his memoirs. Soon the whole world will be hanging breathless on his stories about beating Edmund Hillary up Everest, discovering penicillin, and saving a 747 by taking the controls from the unconscious pilot.

The response from Thomas Violence to Malcolm’s absurd tweet is pure gold.

NB: For the uninformed it was Tony Abbott – the Prime Minister that Turnbull knifed – who originally proposed a plebiscite on the gay marriage question. Turnbull inherited the proposal very grudgingly – until he saw the jubilation following the Yes vote, and then of course it was his idea all along.

Malcolm likes reflected glory. He gets near it at every opportunity.
