Hastie’s Dangerous High Horse
So, despite everything, Andrew Hastie has threatened to leave the Coalition front bench if the leader (Sussan Ley) and her cabinet commit to the Net Zero policy.
There are numerous aspects to this – in particular, party political and culture wars. But these issues are blended in a very weird power struggle.
I’ll try to unpack this from the general political before I get to the specific political.

I picked this up because it had Michael Crichton’s name on it. Having read the story, I no longer believe he wrote it. Obviously, it’s beyond his usual genre so some allowances must be made, but there is none of the trademark invention – none of the ...more |
