The Liberal Party has a new leader – and an uncertain future.  Australia voted to send a message in last month’s election….the Morrison government was out of touch and no longer listening.

 

Dave Sharma was defeated by Allegra Spender, one of the so-called ‘teal independents’ in the Sydney seat of Wentworth. 

 

In today’s Briefing…Dave Sharma explains how and why the Liberals lost touch with the electorate and if he believes the party’s new leader Peter Dutton is the man to lead the party out of the wilderness.
