We don’t need a quick fix we need a plan.

Andrew Haste is being mentioned.

His from Western Australia which really isn’t his fault.

Unfortunate as it is.

Basically we ( the libs) need completely out with the old.

They have failed us .

Should I mention the inability to get our candidates registered in time for nsw local elections?

We need rid of these old “ losers “ and embrace a new liberal party run by fresh faces who are committed too a CENTRAL RIGHT agenda.


The National party can piss off as well!

The Liberals steamed right past a centre right position at least 3 or 4 decades ago. Unfortunately the moderate centre right party is Labor. Keating took this position in the 90's, Keating was a centre corporate mild middle rightist. The Liberals have been dangling out there hanging over the far right
extremist edge since probably the 1970's.

The outcome in this election doesn't relate to Australian politics - this was a world wide reaction to the Trump insanity. The political party aligning with Trump was always going to be toast to a sane electorate.

I’m not a expert on anything other than maybe building boats and that’s a subject of debate around the smoko table.

Is it plausible in some modern future that both the central right liberal party and central right labor party can be one?

I care nothing for leaders and their profile.

I deeply care about the future of Australia and what we could achieve if work together!

I hope you're right.

She would guarantee Labor another term in office.

Please, please, please let it be Jacinta Price.

"In politics, watered-down alternatives seldom win. Voters naturally choose the original over the imitation. The Liberal Party’s image has become that of a knock-off brand—safe, weak, uninspiring."

There’s a saying: democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. In Australia, it seems the sheep are not only voting, but offering themselves up with enthusiasm. Taking a page out of Canada’s book, Australians have effectively rewarded failure by re-electing a government whose done nothing to deserve the vote of the Australian people.

Despite three difficult years marked by a cost-of-living crisis, high taxes, multiple interest rate hikes, stagnating wages, record immigration, a housing shortage, soaring energy bills, and growing pressure on health, education, and infrastructure, Australians opted for more of the same.

Why? Is it collective denial, media manipulation, a rigged system, voter importation through immigration, or perhaps a reflection of a system where real alternatives no longer exist?

The Liberal Party, under Peter Dutton, was leading in the polls not long ago. That lead has since evaporated. So, what changed? Was Dutton truly that unpopular, or did his strategy of imitating Labor’s policies simply evaporate any appeal?

The Liberal Party is now a party like Labor, without the unions. An the unions are fading In significance.
They are both parties of the 60s and 70s. But nobody cares about that period now.
Labor was a party of the industrial working class. We don't have that any more, all the industrial jobs have gone to China. So we ha a Chinese Foreign minister.
Liberals were a party of enterprise, initiative. That's gone, everyone now wants government to take care of them. The self-defense message is poison when everyone wants Governm ed n't subsidy, support, endorsement.

Having millions of dependant-minded immigrants, the free enterprise, self-reliance message is poison. All migrants are now gimme migrants. They come for that and it is reinforced as their numbers expand.

Nobody can stand for personal effort and initiative. That's all settler colonialist oppressive white supremacy. We now want people to come in and be government dependant, one way or another. And they heed the call by the million.
