Malcolm Turnbull’s son is urging people to donate to the Labor candidate in the Wentworth by-election. No, that’s not a joke. He wants you to donate to Labor Candidate Tim Murray 

To put it simply: 

“It’s impossible to vote for the LNP in good conscience. My father fought the stupid and the stupid won.“ – Alex Turnbull.

The Coalition is beholden to the financial interests of the coal industry and now that his dad is no longer PM, Alex has decided to start being vocal about it.

“Times like this you have to decide what your first loyalty is: party or county? I’m going with country. We need donations reform, federal ICAC and sane energy policy NOW.” Said Turnbull on twitter.

The race is close. Malcolm Turnbull held a good personal vote, not just party loyalty, and so Labor is now neck and neck in the polls and could hold Wentworth for the first time… ever.

Tim Murray is a local businessman.

The Wentworth by-election is on October 6th and could determine the fate of the Scott Morrison government as the Coalition currently only has a 1 seat majority. If Labor wins it they’ll either need to form a minority government or go to a general election sooner than they planned, spelling disaster for Scott Morrison.
