Labor attacks Turnbull for being successful

Since Malcolm Turnbull's elevation to the Federal Liberal leadership, the predictable character assassinations have begun.

I don't think there is any currency (no pun intended) in the bovver children of the ALP attacking Turnbull for being a very successful, self-made man.

Yes, Turnbull is very wealthy. Money, incidentally, he has made himself - not born into.

But Kevin Rudd is not exactly down to his last twenty bucks either; but you don't hear the coalition criticise Rudd for having more money than the "workers" he and the ALP represent will probably ever have.

Thus, it is disingenuous of the Labor party to attack Turnbull as being unrepresentative of the Australian people because he happens to have made something of himself. It also smacks of double standards.

Both parties should leave the character point-scoring and focus on policy.
