Bigger news than the Labor rebirth of Malcolm Turnbull is the Trump sacking of Comey.
The funny thing is, I see that the FBI has had to issue a letter correcting a lot of what Comey claimed at his committee meeting last week - which exaggerated the seriousness of the renewed Clinton email investigation - and that certainly does hurt his credibility.
Yet (if I am reading it right) it seems as if Trump is sacking him for not having gone harder after Clinton, and hence it looks completely partisan and virtually corrupt.
I think this is going to hurt Trump bigly. (I know, we stop copying his childish talk, but it's hard not to.)
Update: oh, it seems I was reading it wrong. At least Vox says the reason is (on the face of it) in support of Clinton.
Update 2: I'm not sure who is interpreting this right. I can't really see how the Vox interpretation is correct....

oh the irony
It would not look good if the new Director suddenly decided to prosecute Clinton and then pull the Russian inquiry
