“It was a peculiarly Australian form of madness I’m afraid.”
The former prime minister pointed out the Liberal Party was now polling poorly compared to his own performance ahead of the August spill.
“It still could win the election, the Liberal government, but its position is much less favourable than it was in August.”
Defence Minister Christopher Pyne has no appetite for re-opening old wounds.
“I think we have raked over those coals quite enough in the last few months. I don’t propose to talk about it any further,” he told the Nine Network on Friday.
Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese said Mr Turnbull was right to describe the leadership coup as an act of madness.
“The fact is that no one can explain – not Scott Morrison, not Christopher Pyne – no one will explain to the Australian people why that happened.”
