It will be Angus with Jacinta as his deputy.
She will over take from him six to nine months out from election and lead and win from there on in 😍
We’re back in black baby.
Bye bye Albo.
From Jacinta this morning:
Today I announce my candidacy for the position of Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, and my endorsement of Angus Taylor’s candidacy for Leader of the Liberal Party.
As I’ve said with respect to my decision to change party rooms, these are not matters which I take lightly, and this decision today brings with it a great deal of responsibility which I fully accept.
There is no question that returning to our roots as a party is critical right now.
If we want to inspire and empower Australians across our country, we must return to these roots – these basic values – that define who we are as a party.
We must once more remember and fight for the forgotten people, those on whose shoulders Australian society has been built and still depends.
These are the mainstream Australians who have a big contribution to make.
I think of my grandparents, who were by no means the elite, building their first home by hand with hessian bags and washing their clothes in the creek in Warners Bay, NSW. But they saw a spark, a vision of a brighter future for generations to come. My Warlpiri grandparents caught the vision and transitioned from nomadic desert life into community life during the emergence of a modern Australia.
They were the original Aussie battlers – the forgotten people.
Their courage to grab hold of aspiration with both hands has paved the way for a desert kid like me to put my hand up to lead.
Like my grandparents, I too see a spark. I see a brighter future for generations to come. I want others to see this future for themselves. That’s what my candidacy for Deputy Leader is all about – a brighter future not just for the Liberal Party, but for all Australians.
