MODERATORS
Do they have someone who is not a complete muffin to put in charge? From my perspective, it seems they have a similar problem to the USA. They have worked so hard excluding so many, that it's difficult to attract new members and voter with different values. The Republicans were dying before Trump. Hell likely kill them off, as he destroys everything but the libs don't have an equivalent to win voters and votes back.
Andrew Hastie is the evil in the wings,. good looking (not goofy looking like Dutton) and a creationist, anti science, ex-soldier. He's the horror thats a perfect fit for modern day liberals.
So, a complete muffin then?
I think they have had a problem whereby they scare off moderates, which leads to more on the extremes which leads to less moderates which scares off voters and members which leads to more extremes.
I have a friend who got into politics and aligned with the libs based on their past economic policy. She went to some meetings and was taken aback as it was all about who to hate and smack down on rather than make positive changes.
I laughed and told her that's who they are now. It's. It about making Aussies lives better, it's about pushing an ideology.
