Young Liberals, including Peter Costello, Eric Abetz, Michael Yabsley and Michael Kroger, with Malcolm Fraser PM in 1978. It really does amaze me that more people who like the LNP don’t actually know the people who increasingly run it. Look at them, private school boys, raised with mummy and daddy telling them about wicked socialists stealing their money through taxes and the food out of their polo ponies’ mouths. They’re as far removed from the average plod as it’s possible to be, their obsession is, as we’ve seen this week - tax. Tax makes them less rich. The haircuts, the suits - how observant are we? Isn’t it obvious whose interests people like this will govern in? They have every right to govern for what they want, what irks me is that they’ve managed to convince so many working people, whom they actually despise and screw all the time, that they care about them too. They absolutely, categorically don’t.
