It's fair to dismiss the Liberal Party as being out of touch
after its resounding defeats in recent elections both
federally, and in NSW and Victoria. However it is deeply
unsettling of the apparent inability of the Party to learn
from them.

Our democracy depends on a strong and effective opposition
that not only holds the government to account but also offers
an alternative vision for our country with policies that
are needed to achieve that.

Unfortunately Peter Dutton has built a career on being able
to only deliver his "resounding No" on most important issues.
He's found himself in a long-running game of whack-a-mole
with Labor offering more questions every time one was answered.

It's been hard to find any positive signs for the Liberals.
Under Dutton there's been a wipe out the Liberals suffered in
a teal tsunami. And this may well continue under his leadership.

Writing off the Liberal Party is dangerous. The country needs a
strong opposition. But it won't get it under Dutton. Even
Liberals like John Hewson say that Dutton is heading in the
wrong direction. A change is warranted.

Let's listen to John Hewson who lost an election that couldn't be lost, left politics, and went into oblivion. He was one of the first Leftists to infiltrate the Liberal Party.

The main task for the Liberal Party is to get rid of the infiltrators, and the NSW intervention is a good start. The states are the party's biggest problem.

'Advice ' from a communist is not what is needed, and I don't think that Dutton is reading her remarks on OLO.

To paraphrase Humphrey Bogart in 'Casablanca', of all the women in the world, OLO had to get Foxy.

Talking about me being a communist?

I don't read Marx and Lenin.

I understand Marx and Lenin.

I denounce communism and dismiss it as a sad, tragic
and bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are
even now being written.

As for John Hewson?

He was inexperienced in politics having only entered parliament
in 1987 but he was skilled in his working life as a merchant
banker, a former adviser to John Howard and as a Professor of
Economics at the University of NSW.

He was a visionary who managed to unite both the Liberal and
National Parties around one of the most significant policy
platforms ever, in Australian politics. A 650 page document
titled - "Fightback." Its problem was it pushed too far
into the realms of economic reform. With such a large detailed
target - it became an issue during the election campaign.

However, Hewson's "Fightback" should be viewed as a positive.
Voters deserve to be presented with detailed policy choices
rather than just political spin.

As for my continuing to be on OLO?

You're welcome!

It was former US President Ronald Reagan who said that -
"Communists read Marx and Lenin."

Whereas - anti-communists -
"Understand Marx and Lenin."

Now, for some news:

Former federal Labor leader Bill Shorten is to quit politics
and become Vice Chancellor of Canberra University. The former
federal leader is retiring from federal politics.

He will begin his new role in February next year and will remain
in cabinet until then. After six terms and 17 years in parliament
he said he believed it was time to go.

He now has the opportunity as an educator to help people at
university fulfill their potential and thereby fulfill the
potential of our country. He pointed out that "a nation can
choose its own path. Choosing education, skills, the
re-skilling of Australians, choosing life-long knowledge
acquisition will benefit us all as a nation."

Julie Bishop the former Liberal politician is chancellor at
the Australian National University. She's held that position
since January 2020.

Of course, Foxy might not even be a woman. The only indicator that the person might be a woman is the mania to have the last say.

Given that people can now, in public and on TV, claim to be women when they clearly are not women, you can certainly claim to be anything at all on the internet.

Foxy might not read Marx or Lenin, but he/she has filled his/her head with communist crap, via the ABC, The Guardian and every far Left wacko who puts the stuff on Google, which he/she copies out in lieu of an opinion.

As for (his/her) “continuing to be on OLO?”. Who knows what that's about? Has it been suggested that he/she should cease and desist preaching rubbish reminding us that truly nutty people like him/her are actually on the loose out there, even though most of them never leave their bedrooms and computers, thankfully.
