On 25th Feb 2022 Domminic Perrottet in a speech to the Committee for Economic Development of Australia stated: "But where Dan and I reached that agreement was if we could come out on the same day with the same settings." In that speech Perrottet stated a number of times he was working together with Dan Andrews. He also stated that previously as as Treasurer he had worked with other Labor Treasurers for five years.
Recently a Liberal Senator that lost pre-selection said in her departure speech that a number of senior politicians in the Liberal Party were from the left faction. This included Scott Morrison. Amongst other things she described the trashing of the Liberal Party constitution and the faction's control of the party.
None of this fits with the Liberal Party's stated beliefs: "we simply believe in individual freedom and free enterprise." This now a party where members can no longer choose who will represent them.
Power brokers within the Liberal Party have even been accused of branch stacking and recruiting candidates from the Labor Party for their left wing faction. One such example is Sharn Coombes who according to Real Freedom News was recruited from the Labor party by Ian Quick and Frank Greenstein.
So you might think well just who is Ian Quick? If you have been a Liberal party supporter, you might just be sorry you asked that question. A search on "Ian Quick liberal party news" produced over 10 million results - almost none of it good news for the Liberal Party. Talk of factions, branch stacking, deals, leadership skirmishes, liars, hypocrites. None of it the sort of things most people would want to be involved with.
When you read about what is going on, you could be forgiven for thinking "aren't I reading about the Labor party?". Sadly no, and it reflects in both their policies and their actions.
