Liberal Senator Simon Birmingham was a leading moderate, or so we were repeatedly told. But what does he have to show for it?

The article from Crikey discusses the valedictory speech of Simon Birmingham, a prominent figure in the Liberal Party known for his moderate stance. Birmingham, who has served in various high-profile roles including Minister for Education and Leader of the Government in the Senate, reflected on his political career during his final speech in the Senate. He highlighted his efforts to steer the party towards a more centrist position, often clashing with the more conservative elements within the Liberal Party. Birmingham expressed concerns about the party's future direction, urging it to embrace diversity, inclusivity, and progressive policies to remain relevant. He criticized the party's recent shift to the right, which he believes has alienated moderate voters and contributed to electoral losses. His speech was both a personal reflection and a call to action for the Liberal Party to adapt to contemporary Australian values and demographics.
