BY FULLY buying into Kevin Rudd’s “great moral challenge” scare, the Liberal Party has become increasingly sidelined as a radical green movement – while Labor pivots away from extreme environmentalism. With Liberals, particularly in NSW and WA, squabbling over how fast they can eliminate baseload power – alienating millions of voters while doing so – Labor has outwitted them, throwing its support behind traditional energy.
THREE weeks after WA’s radical Liberals were butchered at the ballot box, NSW Minister Matt Kean has called for the Party to shift even further Left. The WA Liberals, which now holds just two of the State’s 59 seats, had attempted to outgreen The Greens, calling for net-zero carbon emissions a full 20 years earlier than Labor.
THE New South Wales Coalition is expecting to lose the upcoming by-election following the resignation of Upper Hunter National MP Michael Johnsen. Premier Gladys Berejiklian said that the Liberal-National Coalition would need a “miracle” to win the seat previously filled by Mr Johnsen.
ANGER for the increasingly radical NSW Energy & Environment Minister Matt Kean has become uncontained, with Liberals in his own backyard now publicly venting their frustration. High profile Party member Bob Partington this week tore strips off his local MP after the appointment of deposed prime minister Malcom Turnbull into a taxpayer-funded “warming warrior” role.
MATT Kean’s appointment of Malcolm Turnbull as NSW’s zero emissions tzar has been described by voters as ridiculous, an abomination and political suicide.The former prime minister was this week tasked with de-carbonising NSW after his “good friend” handed him the chairmanship of NSW’s Net Zero Emissions & Clean Economy Board.
THE mood among Liberal Party supporters is darkening as the Party continues its hard lurch to the Left, shedding millions of voters as it does. From this month’s Western Australia debacle – where a radical Liberal opposition was all but wiped out – to recent big losses in Queensland, the Northern Territory and a minority government in Tasmania, there’s little joy among centre-right conservatives.
THE Left’s organisational team that oversaw former Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s 2019 election disaster has controversially been given a second chance to win Warringah. The former Liberal stronghold had never been lost by the Party until its hard Left “moderate” faction grabbed control in 2018.
NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean has splashed almost $12b of taxpayer cash on his green crusade – a move described as a blatant wealth transfer.
NSW Energy Minister Matt Kean has responded callously to the resignation of Liberal Party colleague Craig Kelly telling him “good riddance”. Mr Kelly is the latest of a string of conservatives who have departed an increasingly radicalised Liberal Party.
MALCOLM Turnbull replacement Dave Sharma has told conservatives to “get over it” as the Liberal Party continues its radical lurch Left. Self-described as a “modern Liberal”, the new member for Wentworth said the Party was a broad church and that green energy was “inevitable”.
