by SEAN BURKE – LEFTIST Liberal MP Natalie Ward has been schooled live on air after defending her factional boss Matt Kean’s hard-green policy agenda.
The former State Roads Minister was brought to task by former PM Tony Abbott’s chief of staff Peta Credlin during last Saturday’s Sky News election coverage.
- The wrong headedness has come from Kean. It’s absolutely apparent.
- Liberals are rejecting people with intellectual substance and putting up drones.
- They are losing votes to the Left and to the Right
Ms Ward had claimed that Mr Kean’s pro-Greens agenda had successfully “batted away” a challenge from Teal candidates.
Ms Credlin, however, said that while the former Treasurer may have saved a handful of seats from Teals, his policies had, in the process, lost many more winnable seats.
LUCK
“I’m sorry Natalie, but if you think this is the way to win elections, then good luck with that,” said Ms Credlin, who now hosts her own program on Sky News.
“You’ve won the battle to hold two or three Teal contested seats but you’ve lost the war, you are out of power,” she said.
“And don’t give me the twelve years stuff. If you think ‘more-of-Matt Kean’ is the way to get yourself into government you are kidding yourself.
“I think it’s delusional. What you have done, the Matt Kean strategy has eroded margins right across the board – including in his own seat.
“I’m not saying Dominic Perrottet didn’t sign-off on them, but the origins of the policies come from Kean.
KING HIT
“The wrong headedness has come from Kean. It’s absolutely apparent. They match his speeches, they match his rhetoric, particularly the damage he’s done on the energy stuff and that’s where you were king hit.
“Quite frankly if more Liberals spent more time working their seats and not shopping around for other seats, you’d all be in a better shape.”
Meanwhile, former Liberal Party member John Ruddick, who contested – and is likely to win – an upper house seat for the Liberal Democrats, said his old Party lacked “intellectual substance”.
“They are rejecting people with intellectual substance and they want people who are drones – and not creative thinkers,” Mr Ruddick said.
“That’s the biggest problem the Liberals now have. The Mafia-like gangs run the whole thing. They think half the country is going to vote Liberal, so they just have to have their mates wear the Liberal badge on election day.
“They are losing votes to the Left and to the Right. Look, I have mates in the Liberal Party who say they can turn it around. I gave up on them.”
GOBBLE
Mr Ruddick said the Liberals had swung too far Left.
“We’re coming for them and we’re going to gobble them up,” he said.
“I look to someone like the Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis. He was elected four years ago on about 50.1 per cent of the vote.
“He’s just got re-elected with over 60 per cent of the vote and he has shown Right-of-centre Parties around the world how to be popular.”PC
It is amazing how these morons will defend another moron even when they know they are wrong or just incompetent they would rather sink then throw the dead carcass over board . Now look what we have ??? Chris ( I wont deal with ) anyone Minion and the Liberal Party are a woke joke .
The good news is that we may have seen peak-Kean. His decision not to stand for the job of Opposition Leader in NSW is a strategic error. If he had real fire in his belly, Kean would seize the chance to stamp his authority on the NSW party and be preparing for victory in four years time. However, even before the election, Kean was showing signs of a crisis of confidence. As energy minister he was confronting the practical reality of his deeply misconceived renewable policies. He had scrambled to secure coal supplies for NSW. He was out on a limb with the sale and de-commissioning of the thermal power stations. Former Premier Perrottet had openly canvassed against Kean’s policies by calling for an extension to the life of the Eraring power station, de-commissioning of which will cause a major energy crisis in NSW on current trends.
A recent article in the Left-leaning The Saturday Paper had Kean struggling to justify the consequences of his policies. Interestingly, the same article also included extensive quotes by Kean’s handler, Michael Photios. Indeed, it was impossible to read the article without concluding that Kean and Photios had been interviewed together. It follows that Kean’s apparent moral collapse is yet another blow to the power and influence of Photios. The last star performer in Photios portfolio of MPs is Julian Leeser, who seems to be trying to wedge the hapless Dutton into accepting the voice.
Will Dutton wake up to the fact that the voice is actually the treaty that the Indigenous elite has long sought?
Long sought after Treaty, I remember the 1960s activism and copying US Negro political activities by Australian Aboriginal activists.
Many of the present day activists were 1960-1970 student activists.
The broad church experiment has failed. People like turdball, kean, photios, this woman and many others have infiltrated the Libs and acted like the virtue signalling lefties they are. Arguably the libs are now to the left of the alp/greens on such issues as alarmism, renewables and wokism.
The primary votes PHON, SFF, LDP receive, all taken from the libs, would easily see the libs in power.
Until the libs return to conservative values they’ll be a shadow of their former self.
It was interesting to listen to former Labor Senator and Cabinet Minister Stephen Conroy speaking on Sky News recently about the successes of the Labor Party at recent elections, some of the points he made were;
* That Prime Minister Morrison was “painted” by Labor smearing him, character assassination, generally working to change voter perceptions and turn them against the Liberal National Coalition Government. In other words mud slinging, it had been said that when a political opponent is targeted some mud sticks and over time the target is covered in mud and few voters remember the real person. Tony Abbott received that treatment, “relentless negativity”, and as also did Morrison from his own side, the LINO left Liberals In Name Only who even recruited the Union established GetUp activist organisation to help them.
* That Prime Minister Albanese has not only changed his public image but is doing everything possible to re-position Labor on the middle ground of politics, in other words the traditional territory of the Menzies Australian Liberal Party and The Australian National Party.
I remember when Labor Premier Neville Wran did this and won the New South Wales election in 1976 and he apparently convinced Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke to do the same and Labor won the 1983 election. In fact the Hawke Labor Government was effective and convinced voters that they were more like Liberals than the Liberal, Treasurer Keating and Prime Minister Hawke adopted the major economic reforms “Campbell Report” plan created by the Prime Minister Fraser Coalition Government Treasurer John Howard and Head of Treasury John Stone who handed the reform plan to Treasurer Keating. The plan was also adopted by the Labour Lange Government of New Zealand.
Premier Wran also changed the way governments handle media and replaced press secretaries (journalists) in the offices of Premier and Cabinet Ministers with a media unit of journalists and other specialists in public relations and spin;
“I think we are dealing with an octopus …. Advertising as news. It’s skilfully done. The methods of seducing the media, the ingenuity of the spin has reached a point where we, as a general public, have never been lied to by such sophisticated means as now.” – John Le Carre.”
“Lies, fabrications, character assassinations, repetitional rapes, point scoring, axed grinding, sneering, smearing and generalised weaselling have become standard fare in the media.” – Paul Sheehan, The Electronic Whorehouse 2003″
Have you noticed that Labor MPs and their workers on social media described Liberals as from “the hard right” or similar to brand them as far from the middle ground where most Australian voters are in political terms, the LINO left Leader has a similar approach when he is criticising Liberals.
Obligingly the Liberals have reacted as Peta Credlin described above;
“Ms Credlin, however, said that while the former Treasurer may have saved a handful of seats from Teals, his policies had, in the process, lost many more winnable seats.
“I’m sorry Natalie, but if you think this is the way to win elections, then good luck with that,” said Ms Credlin, who now hosts her own program on Sky News.
“You’ve won the battle to hold two or three Teal contested seats but you’ve lost the war, you are out of power,” she said.
“And don’t give me the twelve years stuff. If you think ‘more-of-Matt Kean’ is the way to get yourself into government you are kidding yourself.”
There is only one way forward, back to the traditional Menzies Liberal Party ground with up to date policies that meet the expectations of voters who Labor have identified and successfully penetrated.
The National Party have successfully defended their electorates but in mob opinion have been handicapped by the LINO left woke fools.
And stop fooling around playing games with the Voice Aboriginal Activist and Labor campaign, stand against the race based division and give voters support.
Spot on John W!
