Perhaps the Liberals may once again lose an “unlosable” election. A rhyme involves the Federal upper-class Sydney electorate of Wentworth. After the Liberals, under Andrew Peacock, lost the 1990 election to Labor, John Hewson, a founding executive director of the investment bank Macquarie Bank became leader of the Liberal Party.

Now after the Liberals, under John Howard, lost the 2007 election to Labor, Malcolm Turnbull, former chairman and managing director of the investment bank Goldman Sachs Australia is a candidate for leader of the Liberal Party.

It is possible that we have two former merchant bankers and journalists, with university degrees gained in Australia and overseas, from the electorate of Wentworth, both elected to parliament in the preceding elections, leading the Liberal Party in times of recession during a Labor bust?

“Shortly after the leadership change, Hewson made up ground on the Hawke government in the opinion polls as the Australian economy went into deep recession and unemployment skyrocketed...

“At the March 1993 election Hewson was defeated by Keating, losing what many had described as "the unloseable election" for the Liberals” (John Hewson, Wikipedia)].
