It is often said that a week is a long time in politics.
When a week occurs in Australian politics, it feels like an eternity. The next federal election is in May 2028 at the very earliest and already there have been two leaders come and go for the Liberal Party and two breakups for the Coalition.
Friday’s election of Angus Taylor as Liberal leader will do nothing to prevent the party being sucked into a blackhole as it approaches its own supernova – there is no fuel, no momentum, only the endless pull of a collapse.
This is a collapse which sets it apart from the previous iterations of anti-Labor/centre-right parties as the Liberals of today fall into a different pattern, with aging membership a key distinction. Victorian members, for example, have a median age of 68, while the LNP in Queensland has a median age of 72.
Politicians of today, especially those on the centre-right, are not making headway with the youth on new media. Andrew Hastie is not backed by a secret army of shitposters who carry the torch for the cause, unlike the quixotic bid of Senator Fraser Anning six years ago. The target audience that approves of Auspill and his talking points and his activism are not going to support Taylor any more than they support Ley, or the Liberals in general.
Nor are leading Liberal Party figures offering anything to the youth, shown by Tony Abbott rolling out 10-year-old talking points on the ABC after Taylor’s ascension.
“I want to make this very clear; the Liberal Party should not be Labor-lite. We should not be teal-lite. We should not be One Nation-lite,” Abbott said.
He went on to talk about how migrants need to “accept Australian values” and how Australia’s character is “essentially Anglo-Celtic and Judeo-Christian. That’s what has made our country attractive to migrants, and we should keep it that way”.
But given the levels of migration that Australia has recently faced dwarfs that of the Howard years and that said migration is from nations that are neither Anglo-Celtic nor Judeo-Christian, I cannot see how he can square that circle.
Abbott, John Anderson and John Howard are against both multiculturalism and a White Australia, and have neither the stomach nor the guts to implement radical solutions. Being old as they are, you’d think they would embrace the archetype of a prophet foretelling doom, as Enoch Powell did in 1968. Instead, Abbott’s advice to Taylor is more of the same.
More “commitment to values and identity”, never mind that conservatives can’t define Australian identity and values without defaulting to leftist talking points that stray away from ethnonationalism. If you think Peter Dutton’s wishy-washy campaign was a bloodbath, wait for Taylor’s turn as the chosen sacrifice.
Anyone who understands metapolitics can state that as long as the left drifts leftward, the centre will be pulled by the momentum, ergo the right should go further right to achieve their aims.
Malcolm Turnbull’s interview on the ABC with David Speers on the Liberals could be summed up by one line that undermines this principle:
“What they really need to do is move back to the centre”
When the left is demanding open borders and the right under One Nation is demanding 130,000 visas per year, how do the Liberals react? By taking photos with multicultural leaders.
When the left tears down colonial statues, desecrate ANZAC memorials and call for “death to the White race”, while the right demands the prosecution of the vandals, how to the Liberals react? By doing nothing.
When the left demands hate speech laws and gun control and the right supports free speech and gun rights, how do the Liberals react? By voting for hate speech and gun buybacks.
As much as I hate Turnbull’s commentary, I would sooner have him openly whine about Taylor’s election and “muh right wing” as part of the dissolution of the Liberals. Across every age demographic and gender, the Liberals have lost ground to One Nation and to the right. No amount of Turnbull talking points can reverse the trend.
Which makes the ascension of Taylor important. For everyone on the right, it is prudent and necessary to politically organise for the future of this country. Not in 2028, but now.
It is not enough for One Nation supporters to spam Facebook comment sections, we must actively take a stake in the country’s future. One Nation needs to organise more, have more grassroots and on-the-ground movement rather than AI slop with kangaroos wearing boxing gloves. Gerard Rennick’s People First Party and Katter’s Australian Party must do the same.
Taylor inspires no one, his shadow cabinet inspires no one, and his antics in Government are clear for all to see:
The Liberals cannot pull an about-turn and become a machine of dog-whistling politics. People don’t want a dog-whistle, they want war-horns to be blown.
As I said in a previous article on how One Nation can win the youth vote, White Australians need a voice that is uncompromising, unbending and unyielding. During a cost-of-living crisis, where we are being attacked, raped and murdered by new arrivals on the basis of our race, where our heritage is being torn apart in the name of Cultural Marxism, we need strength and radicalism.
2028 is set to be a titanic year and the Liberals are sailing towards an iceberg. It is up to us to ensure that the Liberal Party sinks, as a reward for their repeated betrayals of Australians.
This quote from the late Labor Senator Graham Richardson said it best:
“If Angus Taylor is the answer, then it’s a stupid question”.
