Does the hard left exist in your view? Apparently not. Jones's overall point is correct. The Liberals are suffering because they're trying to be a version of the ALP. Kowtowing to the left never works. It just ingrains leftwing ideology. What people are desperate for is an actual choice. Just take one example. Aboriginal affairs. Why does the Liberal Party endorse racism by allowing people to get jobs because of the race? Also, why does the Liberal Party endorse the idea that Aboriginal people were the 'First Australians' which is a lie? Australia as a nation state didn't exist until 1901. Am I a secondary Australian? (Way to go, relegating people to first, secondary,etc status.) How unifying! How about challenging the lie that because Aboriginal culture is 60, 000 years old its somehow on par with our western culture? If it hasn't changed then doesn't that imply that it hasn't evolved for 60, 000? Why is that a good thing? And besides, every single aboriginal person lives a western culture anyway. No one lives an aboriginal life. If anyone really believes that aboriginal land is 'stolen' then why does no one donate their property to the local aboriginal community? Why do we need a segregated department exclusively for one race anyway? Over to you Liberals.

"Just take one example. Aboriginal affairs. Why does the Liberal Party endorse racism by allowing people to get jobs because of the race?" Because as a generalisation indigenous education is poor. Because as a generalisation indigenous health is poor. Because as a generalisation indigenous incarceration is high. But there is a problem with 'positive discrimination' in order to provide pathways, role models, and future leaders for our indigenous people.
