Conservatives are keen to see Angus Taylor succeed.

Spectator Australia editor Rowan Dean rightly says, “A decade of anti-conservative government has been a disaster for this country, and as more and more Australians are daily realising, time is running out”.

‘Time is running out’. Sorry, but for Australia, too much damage has already been done. Time has already run out. Multiculturalism. Mass immigration of alien cultures. Muslim immigration. Violence and crime going unpunished. Lack of interest in defence. Too close to Communist China. Too many insults to America and its President. The climate scam. Unaffordable energy. Government (including Taylor's party) censorship. Loss of industry. Economic incompetence. The list goes on.

The pathetic performance of a faux conservative rabble from Turnbull and Morrison, and even worse leaders in opposition, Dutton and Ley, opened the way “for the most inept, ideological and disingenuous Labor government in the nation’s history”.

Mine might be a minority opinion, but I don't think anyone in our truly awful political class is capable of saving us. Australia is rooted, just like the rest of the suicidal West that thinks bringing in non-Westerners to their countries is not the lunacy that it is.

Tim Wilson has been described by economist Adam Creighton as “burst(ing) out of the starting blocks as Liberal shadow treasurer with a brave and accurate analysis of one major source of Australia’s economic malaise”.

Another sign that we might see an improvement in the new look party.

The Ley Liberals were reluctant to talk about the cutting of the top income tax rate, which is crippling the economy. Even Paul Keating described it as “confiscatory”.

Now, while the top rate is of no concern to most of us, and a delight to the tax-the-rich mob, it's the money of the rich that gets spent and invested that keeps things going.

As economist Creighton points out, the 47% rate “pushes up house prices by drawing ever more investment into housing, raises little revenue and throttles immigration of genuinely high-skilled workers from the US, which attracts the lion’s share of the world’s best and brightest”.

We need a suitably qualified Treasury, not a financially-illiterate one like Dim Chalmers who has no financial qualifications whatsoever.

Search here: “Tim Wilson cuts to the chase on ‘punitive’ top tax rate” to find out why the Albanese government has no business running the economy.

Anyone who thinks the 3 ring circus, masquerading as the Noalition could do a better job than the Labor government, must have rocks in their head, well I think he does, after all he is a Hansonite! Wheel out some toady from the far right Murdoch gutter press, and of course he's going to criticise the Labor government, that's what the American Murdoch pays Creighton to do.

Tony Abbott describes the move away from the Liberals as “ongoing conservative grumpiness”; and says voters should give the party a chance to “remain Howard's proverbial ‘broad church’”.

The “broad church” means there are about a third of the party who are wet lefties who have moved out of the church into the churchyard.

If Taylor and conservatives listen to hasbeens like Abbott and Howard, it is definitely all over for them. Abbott should know better after the Liberal left shafted him, as they will probably shaft Taylor. His comment that Labor's skulduggery, or plain incompetence if we are kind or naive, makes “the Liberal-National Coalition Australia’s the only realistic hope for better government any time soon” a joke, when voters are leaving them in droves. The Liberals have been shite since Howard lost his own seat, and Turnbull and Morrison drove it into the ground then put a middle-aged schoolgirl in charge.

Abbott himself thinks we have forgotten his own broken promise to repeal 18c, because he lost his nerve, or he couldn't control the “broad church”.

No. The Liberal Party is cactus, and only the people who made it so don't get it.

Abbott finds it hard to “see One Nation as a credible alternative government”. OK. It might not be. But that means continuing Marxist Labor, because the Liberals have been a lost cause for too long for an electorate who last time gave the worst government ever 97 or so seats to change their minds.

Abbott also disagrees that Australians have become less conservative since 2013 (Paul Kelly). Like hell they haven't. They love the Socialist handouts. That's why the party he is obviously out of touch with have been trying to emulate Labor for a decade. Australians are a left-wing, antisemitic, multicultural mess, shown by the polls to still favour Socialism. Pauline Hanson's upfront honesty will lose to Albanese's lies and bribes when push comes to shove.

ttbn,

At one time you were a forum toady for Abbott, now you want to bucket on the poor bastard. If anyone is going to oust Taylor it will be the far right populist Hastie.

BTW; are you backing Corny Banana in the upcoming election. Looks like Labor are going to wipe the floor with all those right wing loonies.

Kudos ttbn. It appears Susan Ley governed by concensus rather than by leading with ideas. Angus Taylor seems better but he's still disabled by the dominant libertarian's within the party, and the Liberals racist (anti-racist) constitution that doesn't allow him to favour the founding culture of Australia. Someone said 'I treat my children the same by treating them different'. I believe the same is true of cultures- we need a government that is biased in favour of the founding culture of Australia- a true government of a people, by a people, for a people. All cultures need their own institutions, their own police,their own government- our political class has betrayed us, and will be convicted as traitors by us, or we will die. Either a culture defends itself or commits suicide like a coward- it's that simple.

The Liberal Party (libertarian's) are unable to acknowledge the problem so they can't find a solution. They don't even seem to have the language to describe the problem in terms of something approaching Political Philosophy.

If the public understood the political landscape better, and had a language to define it, they would be able to act more in their own self interest.

Marxism destroys all cultures. Women need to work with men rather than becoming traitors to their own people and supporting Marxist Feminism.

We can't draw a line at WWII and say that everything that came before was wrong. There are thousands of years of precedent which needs to be considered.
