MR TURNBULL stabbed Mr Abbott claiming the need for a sharper economic focus as key priority.

"There has been a change of prime minister, but we are a very, very strong government," he said.

Our Defence Force has just run out of money to pay our Army Reserve.

Locally, more than 1000 reserve soldiers in our 11th Brigade with units at nearly 30 places around Queensland are affected.

Soldiers have been told they will not be paid well-forecast, predicted wages until next financial year.

A spokesman said members of the 11 BDE would support ceremonial activities on Anzac Day, but reservists said they would be doing so on a voluntary basis.

By comparison Turnbull has plenty of money to buy ads about his "innovation" genius and threw $1 billion away while big-noting at the Paris climate change conference.

He also blew another $1 billion for a whacky green energy finance scheme - dedicated to finding new ways go give free money to idle people's dumb ideas.

Ungrateful economic refugees get our tax-payers' money, but we don't have enough cash to pay our soldiers?

We only have a working border protection policy because Turnbull inherited Abbott's plan.

Mr Abbott had a strong national security policy.

What sort of worthless group is now responsible for this country?

Turnbull's indecisive dithering is known.

What sort of self-seeking MPs voted to ditch Mr Abbott?
