CPAC: Nigel Farage claims Malcolm Turnbull 'a snake' and lauds rejection of 'trendy' leaders

Craig Kelly tells conference Tony Abbott helped Coalition win election by attracting 'all the crazies' to Warringah

Nigel Farage has labelled Malcolm Turnbull a snake and celebrated Australia and Britain's shift from "trendy, metro" leaders to "real" conservative leaders.

Introduced as "quite possibly" the next British prime minister, the Eurosceptic and rightwing figure on Saturday addressed a crowd of about 500 at the Conservative Political Action Conference Australia in Sydney.
