Australia - the Liberal Party leadership

I worked for Australia's Liberal Party in the run-up to last year's election, which saw the defeat of the government and the ascent of Kevin Rudd's Labor (not sp).  I therefore took great interest in the fact that Australia's foremost broadsheet, The Australian, has conducted a significant poll of the Liberal Party membership about the current leadership, coverage and discussion of which you can read here.  In sum, it shows a strong preference amongst party members for a return of Peter Costello, erstwhile longserving Treasurer, to the front line.  This is (for the time being) unlikely, one would think, as he would have taken up the mantle immediately after defeat without a challenger if he had been minded to do so.  Instead, Malcolm Turnbull might be thought more likely.  Then again, there is a current leader, Brendan Nelson - whom the constant speculation can hardly be helping.  Watch this space.
