Malcolm Turnbull will become Australia's fifth prime minster in five years after toppling 推翻, 干掉 (oust) Tony Abbott in a leadership coup by 54 votes to 44. In a coup, which has torn the party apart 分裂, 粉碎, 撕碎 and will lead to an upheaval 动荡时期, 多变 ( a sudden or violent change, especially one that affects people's lives. Maya's been going through a period of emotional upheaval. political/ social/ economic upheaval: There have been massive upheavals in the telecommunications industry. ) in the ministry, Joe Hockey is also set to be dumped as Treasurer unless he quits first. He will most likely be replaced by Social Services Minister Scott Morrison. Mr Morrison voted for Mr Abbott but declined to run as his deputy. Julie Bishop, who tapped Mr Abbott on the shoulder 拍一下肩膀( A Shoulder tap is a bid for attention, but by extension it may refer to: Shoulder tap (alcohol), an act in which a minor asks an adult to purchase alcohol for him or her; Shoulder tap, another term for an inter-processor interrupt on a multiprocessor system. ) at noon on Monday, was re-elected deputy leader, she beat Abbott loyalist Kevin Andrews by 70 votes to 30 votes. In a shot at Mr Abbott and his chief of staff Peta Credlin, Mr Turnbull vowed a thoroughly consultative approach. Mr Turnbull also attacked Mr Abbott's style of government, including his notorious "captain's picks 老大哥说了算, 一个人说了算的(captain's decision), 说一不二, 不听劝" and the cabinet process. "We have to remember that we have a great example of good Cabinet government. John Howard's government most of us served in and yet few would say that the Cabinet government of Mr Abbott bears any similarity to the style of Mr Howard," he said. Amid scenes of carnage and division 分歧(carnage I. 死伤无数, 尸横遍野. a situation in which there is a lot of death and destruction. a scene of carnage. II. mainly journalism a situation that is difficult or full of problems. There was economic carnage on the stock exchange yesterday.), Mr Abbott fought back and called a ballot for late Monday night.

"many patients are trapped in a revolving door of admission, discharge, and readmission". II. a place or organization that people tend to enter and leave very quickly. "the newsroom became a revolving-door workplace". wiki: In politics, the "revolving door" is a movement of personnel 人事变动 between roles as legislators 立法人 and regulators 监管人 and the industries affected by the legislation and regulation. In some cases the roles are performed in sequence but in certain circumstances may be performed at the same time. Political analysts claim that an unhealthy relationship can develop between the private sector and government, based on the granting of reciprocated privileges 互相利益 to the detriment of the nation and can lead to regulatory capture ( Regulatory capture 官商勾结 is a form of political corruption that occurs when a regulatory agency, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or special concerns of interest groups 利益集团 that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating. Regulatory capture is a form of government failure; it creates an opening 缺口, 漏洞 for firms to behave in ways injurious to the public (e.g., producing negative externalities). The agencies are called "captured agencies". ). In Australia, this is of significant public debate as many state leaders have become private consultants for corporations. There is no legislation against this revolving door in Australia. "Under current law, government officials who make contracting decisions must either wait a year before joining a military contractor or, if they want to switch immediately, must start in an affiliate or division unrelated to their government work. One big loophole is that these restrictions do not apply to many high-level policy makers..., who can join corporations or their boards without waiting." ) Prime Ministership," he said. "We have laid the foundation for a better deal 打好了基础 for families and for small business. You can trust me to deliver a stronger economy and a safer community. In a sign of the rancour ( [ˈræŋkə(r)] a feeling of hate or anger that lasts a long time. ) to come, a bitter Mr Hockey before the ballot also pledged support for Mr Abbott, refused to stand down and slammed Mr Turnbull's critique that the government in its current form could not provide economic leadership. "(Mr Turnbull) has never said to me or to the Cabinet that we are heading in the wrong economic direction. The disloyalty of some has been outrageous."  "Australia has been going nowhere for the last two years," Mr Shorten said. "Australia does not need another out of touch 高高在上的, 脱离群众的, 不食人间烟火的, 不知民间疾苦的, arrogant Liberal leader.". 3. Hyane credits 归功于 higher power (credit one's success to God. ) in rise to NFL glory: Code-hopping superstar Jarryd Hayne says his dream switch from the NRL to NFL wouldn't have been possible without God. And while the former Kangaroos, NSW and Parramatta star remains coy about whether he will play, he says he owes his success to his spirituality. "For me I've always put God first in this journey. I know that without him there would be nothing," Hayne said during an exclusive interview on Channel Nine's Today show. "All the glory goes to God 所有容易归功于 because without him none of this is possible. This is not humanly possible 人力不可及 what I have done. "No human would be able to do it without a spiritual side because it just doesn't make sense." However, whether he takes the field 上场 at Levi's Stadium remains a closely guarded 严守的 secret. While San Francisco coach Jim Tomsula says Hayne has been told of his fate, the former NRL star remains coy. "I have still got to get the green light yet," he said. Hayne said he had not had any time to get nervous with so much preparation involved in NFL matches, headed by team meetings. The 27-year-old said readying for an NFL match was vastly different to the NRL. Hayne said he was delighted to have his mother Jody and sisters in San Francisco. "They will probably bring up the emotions and seeing them I might get a bit more emotional than I might go into a game," he said. "But I'm glad they are over here and they get experience being San Fran and being at Levi's Stadium because it's going to be rockin' on Monday night." overshoot I. 走过头. 走过劲. to accidentally pass the place where you should have stopped.

Mr Turnbull, 60, was Australia's richest politician long before Clive Palmer arrived on the scene. Mr Turnbull regularly scores well in opinion polls and is considered a colourful and cunning character with his head in the game( get one's head in the game to focus on the task at hand. have one's head in the wrong place: Is a 19 year old too young for a 28 year old? I don't see it working out but there is no harm in trying. Most 19 year olds have their heads in the wrong place though.

He butted heads with conservative colleagues after directing them to support then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's Carbon Reduction Scheme. Malcolm Turnbull had a turbulent childhood, particularly during his parents' divorce as his mother took most of the family's belongings. Mr Turnbull was raised by his father and was reliant on scholarships for his education at Sydney Grammar. He had his first tilt at politics in 1981 when unsuccessfully seeking Wentworth pre-selection. His leadership suffered a severe setback during unfounded 没有根据的 OzCar allegations against Kevin Rudd in June 2009 by Treasury official Godwin Grech. His standing also took a battering 受到打击 in 2009 when he tabled ( I. 提上日程进行讨论. 上桌讨论. British to suggest formally in a meeting something that you would like everyone to discuss. table a proposal/offer/question/amendment: A number of amendments were tabled by the opposition. II. American to delay dealing with something such as a proposal until a future time. table a bill/proposal: Six senators tabled the bill and refused to discuss other similar proposals.) ultimately unfounded allegations by Treasury official Godwin Grech against Mr Rudd and Wayne Swan, suggesting they had used influence to help a car dealer profit from the OzCar program. Mr Turnbull's love for technology and his constant online presence stands in direct contrast with the Prime Minister's comparison of Twitter to 'electronic graffiti' which he said was 'a big mistake to pay too much attention to'. There have always been predictions that if he become prime minister, Mr Turnbull would revisit the Gonski education reforms. A father-of-two himself, Turnbull is well known as a family man. Our first encounter was not across a crowded room, or on a dance floor, but in the otherwise thoroughly unromantic environment of her father's legal chambers where she was working over the summer holidays,' he wrote. Lucy Turnbull is no shrinking violet 省油的灯, 毫不逊色 herself(a ​person who is very ​shy or ​modest and does not like to ​attract ​attention: She ​loves ​appearing on ​television and is no ​shrinking ​violet when it comes to ​expressing her ​views.), becoming Sydney's first woman Lord Mayor in 2003. Mr Turnbull's views on climate change, his leadership of the campaign for Australia to dump the British monarchy and actually leading the Republican push at the 1999 referendum, and his liberal views on gay rights and other issues have stamped him as an iconoclastic ( [aɪˌkɒnəˈklæstɪk] characterized by attack on cherished beliefs or institutions. attacking the beliefs, customs, and opinions that most people in a society accept. "a fresh, even an iconoclastic, influence could work wonders". ) conservative. 5. 辅佐过五任党主席的副主席: "You could drop a nuclear bomb on this parliament and Julie Bishop would crawl out as deputy leader." Labor senator Sam Dastyari's light-hearted joke with journalists was pretty close to the mark (near (or close) to the mark almost accurate. "to say he was their legal adviser would be nearer the mark". His guess was very close to the mark. ). The 59-year-old former West Australian lawyer known for her killer stare 犀利的目光 and sharp suits has played a high-profile role in federal politics since being elected to the seat of Curtin in 1998. Mooted as a possible WA state Liberal leader, Bishop instead stayed in the federal sphere and became aged care minister in the Howard government in 2003. She reaped the benefits of Labor's lobbying for a United Nations Security Council seat, making the most of it to tackle issues including Iran, Islamic State's rise in Iraq and Syria and shaming Russia over the MH17 tragedy. The families of the Malaysian Airline disaster victims appreciated her deep and ongoing interest and sympathetic response. She undoubtedly played a key role in healing the damage caused to relations with Indonesia by Labor's live cattle debacle, turning back boats and the Indonesian president phone tapping scandal. Bishop knows the price and duty of being deputy, having tapped Abbott on the shoulder on Monday ahead of Turnbull's successful challenge. As she told the Nine Network on Tuesday: "Being the deputy brings certain obligations and responsibilities and one of those is to keep the leader informed of the views of the backbench." But she's comfortable in the fact that she played the diplomat, not the assassin. "I am the deputy of the party. I stood as deputy. I didn't challenge Tony and I have not challenged for the leadership. So there is no parallel (to Julia Gillard) there." 6. profess 自称, 声称 I. Claim openly but often falsely that one has (a quality or feeling): he had professed his love for her. [with infinitive]: I don't profess to be an expert. I am not expert, and I don't profess to be one. [with complement]: (profess oneself) he professed himself amazed at the boy’s ability. II.

It is often used in reference to groups such as political parties or organisations where information from group insiders is 'leaked' or used to undermine the goals of the group. The Macquarie Dictionary says the verb "to white-ant" means "to subvert or undermine from within". ) him before his unceremonious toppling ( unceremonious done suddenly and with no attempt to be polite. having or showing a lack of courtesy; rough or abrupt. "he was known for his strong views and unceremonious manners". ) yesterday. The soon-to-be-former prime minister told a media conference at Parliament House this afternoon that he will not undermine 掣肘 Malcolm Turnbull the way his colleagues had eroded his legitimacy from within in the months leading up to the leadership coup. Mr Abbott promised "no wrecking, no undermining, no slighting 贬低" of his successor and lamented 遗憾, 遗恨 a "febrile 发疯般的, 一窝蜂的 ( [ˈfebrəl] [ˈfiˌbraɪl] I. literary excited and full of nervous energy. having or showing a great deal of nervous excitement or energy. II. having or showing the symptoms of a fever. medical relating to a fever. ) media culture" and the politics of character assassination. The outgoing leader also thanked his party, Australia's defence forces and his staff. "Especially my chief of staff who has been unfairly maligned 妖魔化. 诋毁, 毁谤. 非议. ( To make defamatory statements about; to slander or traduce. to say unpleasant things about someone or something, usually unfairly. the much-maligned manager of the England team. )," he said, referring to Peta Credlin. 7. 八卦记者八卦前bachelor: He's the outspoken gossip reporter who is renowned for building relationships with the biggest names in the business. But it appears one celebrity Richard Reid, 50, won't be making any close ties with is former The Bachelor star, Blake Garvey. The Hollywood entertainment reporter revealed to TV Week magazine on Monday that he's not the biggest fan of his Celebrity Apprentice co-star, with Richard even describing the controversial personality as 'slimy' (slimy [ˈslaɪmi] I. 湿稠湿稠的. covered with a thick wet unpleasant substance. II. informal 装和善的. 装友好的. polite and friendly in a way that is unpleasant because it is not honest or sincere.) and the 'biggest pretender 太能装了 on Earth.' 'Blake messed with the wrong Queen, Blake underestimated me - He thinks he's so smooth but you know what? He's slimy,' Richard told the publication. The gossip guru didn't hold back on expressing his feelings for the reality star, making his animosity 敌对, 敌意 towards him known( [ˌænɪˈmɒsəti] a strong feeling of disliking someone or something. There is no personal animosity between them.). 'He wanted to throw me in the gutter like he did to that poor girl on The Bachelor,' Richard expressed of the notorious love rat 脚踏两只船的人(An adulterer; a two-timer; somebody who has an affair whilst in a relationship. a man who has had a ​secret ​sexual ​relationship with someone he is not ​married to or who is not his ​regular ​sexual ​partner. This word is usually used in ​popular ​newspapers.). It appears the co-stars didn't see eye-to-eye from the very beginning, after Richard was convinced Blake was out to get him 针对他的. 冲着他来的, 故意的( deliberately causing another person problems. Be determined to punish or harm someone, especially in retaliation: he thinks the media are out to get him. Another user keeps reversing my edits. I think he's out to get me. The supervisor keeps telling me off. He's out to get me.) and was let him down by him in just the first episode of the show. Richard claims he had a magazine deal in place for pictures of Matt Cooper and Blake shirtless, however Blake refused to take his shirt off for the shoot, claiming to be self-conscious 自卑的 over his weight. However, the feud between the men reportedly continued well after the first week's challenge. The clash left their fellow contestants stunned, while Blake attempted to downplay the drama, saying that Richard is on the show to 'stir things up'. Richard who is keen to make his feelings for Blake publicly known, also spoke about the clash to Woman's Day magazine on Monday, saying the bad blood still remains between the pair. 'Put it this way, I don't think Blake and I will be sending each other Christmas cards – there is no love lost between us.' Meanwhile, Blake has struck up an unlikely friendship with fellow contestant businessman Geoffrey Edelsten, 72, during filming. Blake revealed to The Herald Sun earlier this month, that he thinks Geoffrey is 'the sweetest guy.' 'He reminds me of my granddad,' he told the publication. 'He's lovely and well-spoken - I can't speak more highly of him,' he said. And it seems the feeling is mutual with Geoffrey saying the pair 'got along very well.' His gushing comments 赞不绝口 may be a result of Blake having a lot in common with her older counterpart as both have been the subject of online scrutiny relating to their love lives. The businessman will star on Celebrity Apprentice alongside new wife Gabi, and the pair have become well-known for their wacky exhibitionist ways. 8. 房地产市场: He says good capital gain 资金收益 and low vacancy rates makes the inner city the ideal investor's market.
