If the Liberal Party was a footy team, how would you advise the club out of its crisis?

- The election has been lost, the brand is being trashed, the coach has been sacked and the side has lost some of its stars to other clubs (in this case, electoral defeat). Meanwhile the supporters are deserting the ship and those left behind are wondering: where to from here?

- If the Liberal Party was a footy team in crisis, what would be advise about:

• Membership

• Building a brand/what do we stand for

• Recruiting talent

• Appealing to young people

• Appealing to women

• Crazy ideas (sack 40K people)

• Off-field performance

• On-field performance

• How to turn it around

- Which AFL clubs - and at what point in their history – best resemble the Lib Party now

- If you were advising the Lib Party now, what would you be suggesting

- In the footy world who is Dutton, who is Albo? Who is Jacinta Price? And who is Monique Ryan?

PREP TIME 15 MINS

COOK 4O MINS (PLUS SOAKING)

Fresh mushrooms for silkiness, dried mushrooms for intensity and Fontina for bite. If you can't find Fontina, Taleggio or another washed-rind cheese would work well in its place.

2 tsp olive oil

1½ tbsp coarsely chopped sage, plus 1 tbsp extra leaves

60 gm chilled butter, coarsely chopped

150gm Fontina, torn into 3cm chunks

Drain and return to pan.
