If there has ever been a more perfect metaphor for Malcolm Turnbull’s career as Prime Minister than a giant gaping hole in the ground, I am yet to find it.

Yesterday, a sinkhole swallowed up a section of the footpath on Wentworth Street in Point Piper, an extremely affluent suburb in inner-Sydney. Point Piper is also home to one Malcolm B. Turnbull. You may know him better as Mr. Trumble.

Naturally, the idea of an enormous, sucking pit less than a kilometre from the Prime Minister’s mansion caused the internet to erupt with glee.
