Malcolm Turnbull may face a leadership spill (AAP)

Have recent threats of a leadership spill strengthened or weakened Malcolm Turnbull as leader of the Opposition? Do you think there are others in the coalition - like Joe Hockey, Kevin Andrews or Tony Abbott - who would make better leaders?

He'd be fine

Turnbull could lead the Opposition to the next election. Rudd will win anyway as most folk are happy with him. Tony Abbott, well, if the Liberals really want to really lose in a catastrophic fashion; but why make it that easy for Labor to win? Tony is the man whose plans dont work. Work Choices, Work for the Dole, Super Medicare et alia...oh dear. Not again, please. Sure it was all very funny to have Tony protecting the Catholic Church against claims of abuse by priests. Fun's over.

Labour voters love Turnbull. Liberal voters don't. Turnbull is third on Liberal supporter's list as preferred leader - and after this morning's news -he's last on mine. He is talking like a dictator - not a liberal leader. 60% of the public (Liberal & Labour) do not want ETS. The % is much higher for liberal voters & 56% of Labour voters do not want it. We live in a democracy. Its time our politicians acknowledged that by stopping the ETS.

Malcolm Turnbull must stay to drag the Libs into the 21st century and contribute to the solutions, not add to the problems.

Turnbull is a leader, you may not like where he is leading but he does not sit on the fence . On an important global issue he is supporting the Govt on this, I think this is like an important family discussion, Parents can argue or be divided on many issues and that is normal and ok, but on ones that are of major importance such as the kids, they must be united for their future, their future maybe is being decided in Copenhagen, nothing is certain.

yes this old bovs club needs a shake up. We need to look more to what Australia needs rather than what the boring unimaginative Rudd govt. thinks would impress the world. It takes a real leader to do what Turnbull is doing. Good on ya mate.the country always has thrived on the innovative and outspoken pushes for change.

Nothing will save the Liberal Party that is a spent force of born to rule, controlled by racists and ultra conservatives. The young liberal need to cut their ombelical cord!

This morning on CH 7 I think he lost this time the doors of the ute , not only the gate . Man take your money and play golf or something , but stop squabbling around .

Who are the puppet masters?

The Liberal MHR's and Senators are dancing like puppets on strings. But who are the puppet masters?

Hate to interupt!!

I think Mr Turnbull is just a shell of a bad seed Howard have succesfully planted within the Lib party & unless the party changes it's attitude of chasing easy vote-grabbing issues (like smear campaigns, fear, war, asylum seekers etc) no matter who comes in place is doomed to fail. Also, hate to interrupt, we know there is 1 million Iraqi civillian deaths in a war Britian pre-knew was unjustified, anyone curious on what Howard knew? Doesn't that mean Tony Blair is now officially a war criminal?

Time to go ... Malcolm

The public is so deceived by the leftist media (fans of Krudd & Co.). Unfortunately, having a Liberal Leader like MT does not help. The opposition needs someone who will put Krudd & Co. in their place not join forces with them. John Howard was great for Australia, now Australia is drowning in debt, thanks Mr Rudd. Bring back the conservative leaders, Mr Abbott for PM.
