‘Tonightly’ Has Prepared A Beautiful Tribute To “Consistent Loser” Malcolm Turnbull
Don't let Malcolm Turnbull's losses this week overshadow a distinguished career as a loser.
As you’ve no doubt heard, Malcolm Turnbull is poised to lose the Prime Ministership any minute now. It’s a pretty sad day for him, mostly because all the media attention on that impending loss is threatening to overshadow a long and impressive career as a consistent loser.
Thankfully, the ABC’s very own losers at recently-cancelled comedy show Tonightly are looking out for old Malc. They’ve pulled together a heartfelt tribute to Turnbull’s many years as Australia’s “most successful loser”, making sure the public doesn’t just forget about the many losses that led up today.
And holy fuck, there are a lot. As the Tonightly video points out, “even before being elected to Parliament, Turnbull established himself as a consistent loser, losing attempts at Liberal preselection in 1981, 1982, and 1983 — before going on to lose his virginity.” And that’s just the first minute — the video goes on to pay tribute to a career of truly momentous losses, only briefly interrupted by a “low point” of one or two wins here and there.
