Fed: Turnbull brawls with former Howard adviser over pulp mill=2

Labor leader Kevin Rudd said the tension between Mr Turnbull and Mr Cousins was a "very
interesting development".

"I'm interested in this new outbreak of friendship and fraternity within the coalition,"

Mr Rudd told reporters in Adelaide.

"Here we have Malcolm Turnbull running in the seat of Wentworth, and Mr Howard's best
mate running against Malcolm Turnbull in the seat of Wentworth.

"It shows there are tensions alive and well within the Liberal Party at present.

"This will be a very tight election.

"Let me tell you, Wentworth is going to be a very tight seat, this is a very interesting
development."
