They need to work at taking back the centre right from Labor and the teals.
If they want to get voted back in they need to convince the centre. Pandering to the far right will just lose then votes not get any

Liberals come back to a position currently occupied by a politically stable and far more popular Labor party? Good luck with that!

Going back to Howard & Costello would mean selling the NBN & Western Sydney Airport & Snowy 2.0 and whatever else they can get their hands on to use that money to once again lower taxes to an unsustainable level & making our budget a structurally unsound mess.
Their economic reforms were to wage war on unions, cut workers’ rights, and wreck the housing market.
This guy is talking about the worst PM in Australia’s history like that’s the aspiration. The LNP are a clown car.

Voting for the least worst political party is still not good governance for the Australian people, when many of the members are beholden to vested interests that have guaranteed a job outside parliament if they manipulate government to support their interests: that’s simply a form of corruption, or even worse, being a traitor to the Australian people for whom they are supposed to be working for.

Another take is simply this: The Liberal Party campaigned on a premise that it did not achieve. Under its own neo-liberal economic policies, housing was snatched out of the reach of a generation, employment became precarious and inflation swept away whatever was left.
We are still waiting for the magical trickle to reach down to us and after three decades the Liberal party hasn’t worked it out yet.

Classic case of tail wagging the dog. The Libs should force Nats into accepting more moderate positions. You can’t let extremists hold you and your party hostage.
