.chriskkenny on JulieBishopMP saying she would have beaten Bill Shorten: It’s an absurd spectacle where Labor is whinging that they would have preferred to be up against Julie Bishop, because she might have beaten them. MORE: thekennyreport
Liberal MP Warren Entsch says he regrets voting for outgoing MP Julie Bishop in the 2018 leadership spill, saying he 'voted with his heart, not his head'. The Queensland MP believes he should have voted for Scott Morrison, criticising Ms Bishop's domestic policy credentials.
Mr Entsh says the former deputy leader 'shined' as foreign affairs minister, but says in domestic policy 'she wasn't quite as strong'. His comments come after Julie Bishop told The Sunday Times paper she believes she could have beaten Labor at the upcoming election if she had won the top job in last year's spill.
