[A Thread] My observations on @TurnbullMalcolm at the #RobodebtRC: Turnbull as PM proved to be completely spineless as Party leader and National leader. He was probably Australia's most disappointing PM. Because he lacked courage. #auspol 1/5

Leaders need courage. They need to do the right thing, even if it is not the popular thing, and that takes courage. Ask @DanielAndrewsMP - he has courage in spades and used every bit of it during the pandemic. #RobodebtRC #auspol 2/5

The first real public glimpse of Turnbull's invertebrate nature was seen when he stood on stage with @HonTonyAbbott announcing the destruction of the #FTTP #NBN. His body language said he knew this was wrong, but had to follow orders. #RobodebtRC #auspol 3/5

Morrison as Social Services Minister concocted #Robodebt then funded it as Turnbull's Treasurer. Despite his protestations, Morrison must have known of the scheme's illegality. But again he lacked the testicular fortitude to confront Morrison. #RobodebtRC #auspol 4/5

How many Australian lives would have been saved if Turnbull had had the guts to be a leader, not just wear the title? Turnbull failed in his most fundamental duty as PM - to protect the lives of Australians. For this he must be condemned. #RobodebtRC #auspol 5/5
