12:26PM Jess McGuire | As far as political scandals go, the current Utegate saga isn’t exactly keeping me on the edge of my seat. It’s not quite the Profumo affair, is it? Perhaps over two years of focusing on the ups and downs of Britney Spears and tracking down hilarious videos of cats doing assorted things has left my brain completely unable to cope with grown up discussion? Nevertheless, I am impressed by journalist Annabel Crabb’s Twitter commentary on the subject. Brain crush alert! More »

10:37AM Jess McGuire | That Malcolm Turnbull is a tech-savvy bastard, isn’t he? God bless him, he’s just discovered Twitter and is happily informing the nation of his comings and goings like it’s going out of style.
What sort of thrilling stuff is he up to, I hear you ask?

How Did The Liberals Get Into This Mess, Pineapple Express (Etc)
2:55PM Clem Bastow | Alternative headlines: Mull Up Malcolm, A Big Turnbull On The Bong, A Sticky-Icky Situation For The Libs – hey, we could go on all day, and likely will, as you can see! In any case, to celebrate Malcolm Turnbull’s “shocking” admission, I’ve prepared a little tribute to an old favourite of the walls of teenage (and not so teenaged) boys the world over:
Sure to be gracing the pool rooms and college bedrooms of hip Young Liberals the country over before you can say “Pass the dutchie on the left-hand side”, I am sure. More » Thoughts On Malcolm Turnbull’s New Job
1:23PM Jess McGuire | When the team from Sunrise asked me to contribute my thoughts regarding Malcolm Turnbull’s new role as the leader of the Liberal Party for their website, I wish I could say I was surprised. But to be honest, I’ve always envisioned myself as a political pundit, so after I finished sending Laurie Oakes a menacing email telling him to watch his goddamn back, I settled down and wrote some stupid responses to the questions I was given.
If you would like to read these thoughts, then go to the Sunrise website and take a look. Also, “media commentator and political bandit” is going straight onto my business card. And by business card, I obviously mean the About Me section on my Facebook page.

Attention Australian Liberal Party Members: Malcolm Turnbull Is Your God Now
9:51AM Jess McGuire | Poor Brendan Nelson. From the second he took over from John Howard after the resounding election defeat last year, everyone was thinking “Dude is a Band-Aid that’s gonna get ripped off and thrown away once the wound isn’t quite so icky to look at anymore” and he was like “No, for real! I am leader! And quite popular! Look and marvel as my colleagues appreciate me and support me!” and Malcolm Turnbull was all “Hey bitch, call me when you’re done cleaning my office and I’ll move my stuff in” and… well, I’ve run out of idiotic things to say on this topic, and wahey! Did you see that the Libs decided to go with Turnbull after their Top Secret Ballot this morning?
Malcolm Turnbull is the new leader of the Liberal Party after beating Brendan Nelson in a ballot in Canberra this morning..

Brendan Nelson Versus Malcolm Turnbull In A Cockfight To The Death!
8:40AM Jess McGuire | There’s just twenty minutes until members of the Liberal Party go into a secret room, wallpapered with images of great conservative leaders of the past like Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, and vote for school captain. Or who they want to be the leader of the Liberal Party.
“I’m not going to win, am I?”
You’re not in the race, Peter. Shut up.
Brendan Nelson and Malcolm Turnbull are about to face off in a Liberal leadership vote after Dr Nelson’s attempted ambush of his rival.
Dr Nelson pounced on his jetlagged leadership rival last night, hoping to catch Mr Turnbull off guard by bringing leadership speculation to a head this morning rather than waiting for the shadow treasurer to strike against him.
Vaguely interesting! Can’t wait to see how this turns out. And then laugh heartily.

3:15PM Jess McGuire | Did you know Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull catches the bus and ferry to and from work each day? We didn’t, until today. This fact mildly interested us.
Something else that mildly interested us was news that some high profile Australians have decided to collaborate in an effort to become an irritating bee in Malcolm’s electoral bonnet.
High-profile figures such as actor Rachel Ward and former tennis star John Newcombe have joined the battle against the proposed Gunns pulp mill in Tasmania’s picturesque Tamar Valley.
An advertisement organised by Geoffrey Cousins, a former adviser to Prime Minister John Howard, has been signed by more than 120 people.
It will appear in tomorrow’s Wentworth Courier, in Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s marginal electorate.
Among the signatories are film director Phillip Noyce, actors Bryan Brown and Rebecca Gibney, playwright David Williamson, celebrity chef Kylie Kwong, Fairfax Media deputy chairman Mark Burrows, Rowena Danziger, a member of the Publishing and Broadcasting board, and Leo Schofield, a former director of the Sydney Festival. The ad urges the public to contact Mr Turnbull’s office to ask him to allow “a full and just public hearing” on the pulp mill.
…
The ad says: “Is Malcolm Turnbull the Minister for the Environment or the Minister Against the Environment?” It says Mr Turnbull can insist on all voices being heard. “But will he? So many questions, so far no answers … Will Malcolm Turnbull insist that a proper public hearing be implemented before he decides on the building of one of the world’s largest pulp mills in Tasmania’s Tamar Valley?
When Kylie Kwong and the ex-Mrs Jack Jones from Southern Sons have teamed up to conspire against you, it is time to take heed. Your move, Mr Turnbull. More »
