Yes, it's a lot, but in the last couple of years we've had Carr's resignation, a water crisis, serious public transport and healthcare problems (with major PT outages days before the election), the Cronulla riots, one minister sacked for misleading parliament, another charged with using taxpayers' money to buy drugs and child prostitutes, another MP convicted of assaulting his partner, and an assortment of lesser embarrassments. How much more ammunition could the Coalition want?
