Strikes me as a very desperate attempt to put some distance between herself and JT.
So that when he resigns, either before the election or after getting annihilated in the election, she’ll try her best not to get sucked down into the political abyss along with him and instead run as some peculiar species of “change” candidate.
Think it’s far too late though. Her and Justin are joined at the hip politically at this point and will both suffer the same fate, whatever that may be.
As for Justin, I wonder who he’s planning to turn to on his increasingly thin bench to take over the finance portfolio.
Also interesting that, at this point, every prominent woman MP who’s worked under our self-proclaimed “feminist” PM has eventually split publicly and acrimoniously with him during his time in office. Hell, even including his wife.
