Foreword
Has a year of political turmoil changed the game?
Michelle Grattan
Chief Political Correspondent, The Conversation, and Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra
In 2015, Australian federal politics saw another of the volcanic leadership eruptions that marked 2010 and 2013. This time on the conservative side, it showed that the impact of polling on the behaviour of MPs is bipartisan.
Many in the public hope Malcolm Turnbulls ascension will be a circuit-breaker, starting a more positive period in federal politicsa break from the negativity, nastiness and cannibalising of prime ministers by their own parties that has blighted the recent past and further alienated a cynical public.
There was already a model for a better way, and a lesson. Early in 2015, the pugilistic Campbell Newman lost the Queensland state election, despite having had a huge majority. In contrast, New South Wales Premier Mike Baird, politically a lover rather than a fighter, held power handsomely.
The federal Liberals had vowed they would not be like Labor in ditching their prime minister in his first term. Yet Tony Abbott, despite his sweeping victory, lasted a mere two years.
When Abbott was deposed in September on a party-room vote of 5444, Australia got not just a new leader but a changed style of government and, in the electorate, a mood of relief.
Abbott led an aggressive, divisive administration, which forfeited trust and angered voters. Turnbull arrived talking consensus and co-operation, reaching out to community and crossbenchers.
Abbott saw the dark side in many things; he continued in government the politics of opposition; he hunted his opponents continually and relentlessly even (through royal commissions) when he had already vanquished them. National security, with constant warnings of the threat from the Islamic State death cult, was used as a weapon of political protection and an attempted wedge against Labor.
The culture wars took the form of a virulent government onslaught against the ABC. A bevy of right-wing media commentators egged on the attacks against this and other targets. After Abbott fell, in a coup he did not see coming, some among these supporters descended into a funk of fury.
