LOL, monkey see, monkey do.
Labor's Andrew Leigh tried to work that one recently to the usual poor effect.
It is one of the same old, same old, Labor tactics to attack the Liberals' strength (having broad appeal) with the aim of causing a split between liberal and conservative in the Liberal Party. Hawke and Keating, both of whom were to become multimillionaires representing international entrepreneurs and foreign governments' interests, screamed 'Tory' a lot when they were in Parliament and always unconvincingly.
David Kemp in his 'The Liberals: A Short History of Liberalism in Victoria and Australia', the Liberal Party is "most successful when [it has] involved people broadly in the party and its causes. It is one of [the Party’s] great competitive strengths over Labor with its narrow sectional organisation."
The narrowness of Labor's organisation has been demonstrated over and over again as union heavies are involved in overthrowing an uncumbent PM, Kevin Rudd, and in dirty tricks such as the fracas of aboriginal tent protesters invading The Lobby Restaurant in Canberra to disrupt the Australia Day Awards, all because Tony Abbott was one of the guests. It was the infamous angry riot that led to the PM Julia Gillard fleeing shoeless to her government limousine.
