Instead of competing with One Nation, the Liberal party under Angus Taylor is echoing One Nation’s divisive, hateful position on immigration and in Farrer is preferencing One Nation – a move that could put a One Nation MP in the House of Representatives for the first time.

Liberals in Farrer should ignore Taylor’s how-to-vote card and put One Nation last.

The ego + narcissism thing was also the big problem with Rudd's government. His own party room colleagues hated him because of his ego, and he put the cross-bench offside by refusing to do any sort of compromise with them, which is what gave the LNP a clear target to criticise.

    Yeah for sure. He always had to signal his intellect. It was condescending. I remember his comment about "detailed programmatic specificity". Morrison was a dick head, but he got elected because of his daggy dad routine. He pretended to be relatable.
