Commenting on the story: ‘Make the party great again’: Libs’ Right faction in Colton coup
Well, if Alex Antic believes he’s going to improve the Liberals’ electoral fortunes by repurposing tired and rank-smelling old Trumpist slogans, then good luck to him.
But I can’t help thinking he’s badly misread the mood of the people, who twice now have emphatically rejected his far-right, populist brand of conservatism.
But go right ahead Alex, by all means carry on! The longer you and your colleagues stay in the self-imposed political wilderness, the better off the rest of us – including the planet – will be. – Cass Selwood
Could Senator Antic clearly spell out his principles for us all to see. No motherhood statements allowed. – John Clayton
If the Right faction could do statistics, they would see that the Australian voting population has rejected the right wing and opted for centre and centre left in the state and federal polls.
Liberals could be in the wilderness for a very long time if they think USA-style ideas are going to get them voted in. – Patricia Chigwidden
