Returning to Australia after four years in the US, journalist Adam Creighton feels that there has been an intellectual vacuum in “right of centre” politics for some time; and the Liberal Party “doesn't seem to know what it stands for”, while the Nationals “have some idea”.

At the moment, the Liberals are more worried about the 30% pay rise for whomever Lady Ley appoints to the shadow ministry than they are about Australians and the country. They will move further to the Left, do anything to get the good jobs, I believe.

ttbn,

Calling all and sundry DILLS.... Well, well, well, are you not the DILL who in 2019 was singing the praises of Corny Banana, and his Australian Conservative Party? Did you not say you had made a substantial contribution to the cause, a whole fortnights aged welfare maybe. The contribution was used to fly CB and his cronies around the countryside, dining on the best lobster and champagne a la carte , living it up five star! There was the Old Fart supporters living off baked beans and dry toast. As for CB and his party, it scored half a percent of the popular vote then it promptly disappeared up its own a-hole, along with all those contributors hopes and dreams. The poor Old fart supporters have been crying in their beer ever since! Pot-kettle-black.

Is this bloke in Cloud Cuckoo Land; "the only hope for a conservative alternative is the Nationals standing against them (Liberals) in every seat." Candidates from the Cow Cocky Party would be an unelectable nuance in the majority of seats, with a minimal vote in a 3 way contest. Obviously like with most things, the old fella has no basic understand of politics. One thing is clear the Tories are a bunch of rabble totally unelectable. With their poor leadership, and hopeless policies, they should spend the next decade in the political wilderness.
