WA election: Former Liberal MPs lash out as party takes stock amid poll wipeout
A “debacle” over its green energy policy, the decision to call for a reopening of the borders at the height of the pandemic and the “toxicity” of the Federal Government backing Clive Palmer’s High Court challenge have all contributed to a generational wipeout for the WA Liberals, former Opposition leader Mike Nahan says.
Key points:
- Former MPs have lashed out at the party over its handling of key issues
- Some say policies on energy and borders helped create the poll “disaster”
- Mike Nahan says the role of party powerbrokers needs to be examined
The Liberal Party, which could end up winning as few as two seats, have lost official party status and will not even be the Opposition after the election, following a 17 per cent swing to Labor.
