Turnbull's unfortunate turn of phrase


This is vintage Malcolm Turnbull.
Nursing home resident Joan Ashcroft, 79, got the jump on the trailing media with a blunt question to the alternative prime minister. "Are we going to live long enough for you to get back into government?" she asked. The answer, was "assuredly, yes". "You only have to live long enough for the next election," Mr Turnbull replied.
Does that mean we oldies are worth nothing to Malcolm after the election?
Still laughing at how unconsciously offensive that man can be.
