No Pyning in the Liberal Ranks - 2600 | Sky News Australia

“That helped Turnbull’s enemies massively,” says one senior Liberal.Another MP says it “lifted the veil on the ideological game that was being played…he wasn’t a Liberal team player he was a moderate team player.”

While publicly his colleagues have praised Pyne’s political nous, privately many of them are relieved that he’s leaving Parliament. A fellow Cabinet Minister says, “he’s managed parliament okay but he’s been the ultimate ‘Svengali’ within our party.” . The electorate is not dissimilar in terms of its voter profile to some of those in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs -seats which fell like ninepins at the Victorian election.

If there is a big swing away from the Government, particularly with the resignation of such a high profile member, it’s the sort of seat that Labor could win.over recent days and he too has copped flak on the way out. The obvious risk from all these ministerial resignations is the perception of rats leaving a sinking ship. It is a terrible look. However, Scott Morrison’s response was a reminder to Labor that the PM does have strong political instincts.
