Unfortunately, with Albanese and Dutton to choose from, Australia is sliding down a continued path of stale, unimaginative leadership, while America has been revitalised under President Trump.

In particular, the Coalition should be learning from Trump’s success. Unfortunately, the current Liberal Party is not fit for purpose. They are a far cry from the ‘We Believe’ statement and Peter Dutton is equally as far away from jumping on the Trump train.

“Cost of living doesn’t affect us – we only care about climate change.”

This is what a Teal volunteer told me during the Pittwater by-election in October.

It indicated the mentality of Teal supporters. After all, why would anyone care about cost-of-living when the Earth is gripped by ‘global boiling’?
