Turnbull, Bishop have seen the error of their ways

The actual headline to the story is Jamie Briggs, Peter Dutton see error of their ways: Julie Bishop but that is not the real point. It is the PM and his Deputy who have seen the error of their own ways. The opening para:

Deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop says fallen junior minister Jamie Briggs and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton have “recognised the error of their ways” over a late-night bar incident and accidental text, insisting it’s time to “move on”.

After creating quite an unnecessary tempest over an “incident” that has still not been detailed, they have decided to “move on”. Good, and I hope they have learned some useful political lessons in the process about how to manage a party supposedly on the right side of the divide. Hopefully, they will also now move on to doing something useful, like getting public spending under control or trade union reform, the kinds of things that may not run so well on the ABC.
