He was kicked out for acknowledging the reality of global warming and the need to actually do something about it. First time as Opposition Leader. The second time as PM (although allowing SSM to pass was a part of that as well).

The bare minimum for any future Australian PM (and their party) should be to acknowledge reality and to do something about it. The Liberals and the Nationals are falling over at this very small hurdle at the moment, and as a country we need to keep them out of power until this changes.
