Hastie hides his views on issues like abortion and gay marriage. Why do those on the right of the Coalition think it good policy to follow a Trump or Farage line on migration when Australia's migration policy is mainly about skilled migration - e.g. the visa waiting period to get grandparents here is now 10 years and very expensive. Few unauthorised boat people come now. Even National Party Farmers want imported workers. Affluent city Liberal seats are going Teal - who maybe fiscally conservative but are socially liberal. Coalition leaders like like Leigh and Cash just oppose everything without meaningful alternatives. The last intelligent Coalition leader was Turnbull - even if you thought he was too moderate. Could not stand another Abbott, Morrison or Dutton level politician. Albanese might not be great but no-one in opposition including Hastie is as smart or polished as Chalmers.
