Speaking of CPAC - over the weekend the disease infected Australia- where at a CPAC held conference, the extreme right of the spectrum appeared as well as two ex Prime Ministers (which is very much regrettable). True to form, the Australian Right is becoming more extreme - MAGA style - and during one panel, a Mona Charen moment occurred where former Senator Nick Minchin was booed by the crowd for suggesting the Liberal Party (the Oz GOP) is worth sticking with and doesn’t need constitutional or structural reform. To get this into full context, Senator Minchin has been the leader of the Conservative faction for 3 decades and is still influential but clearly he’s not right wing enough - here’s how the media reported the story and you can check out the video of Senator Minchin giving it back to the crowd and accusing them of being socialists - .... for what it is worth, I worked for Nick between 1998 and 2000 and he’s no left winger but would seem the right hunt heretics these days and devour their own https://www.news.com.au/national/politics/liberals-booed-and-heckled-by-furious-cpac-audience/news-story/b53be3f19686f742d6cadbe55ed71960
The good thing is the Liberal Party (Oz GOP) got so badly beaten in this years election that they’ll be out of power for at least 2 or 3 election cycles.
