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.
