  • On Monday night at the Sydney Institute, Paul Fletcher ripped off a fiery denunciation of the "teals" - the independent candidates who two and a half years ago tore a significant hole in the ranks of the parliamentary Liberal Party.

The article from ABC News discusses Paul Fletcher, the Liberal Party's campaign spokesperson, who has expressed concerns about the potential impact of teal independents in the upcoming election. Fletcher warns that these independents, who advocate for climate action, integrity in politics, and gender equality, could split the vote and inadvertently help Labor retain power. He highlights the need for the Liberal Party to reconnect with voters in key teal-held seats by addressing issues like housing affordability, cost of living, and infrastructure. Fletcher also critiques the teal MPs for not achieving significant legislative outcomes despite their promises, suggesting that their presence might not bring the substantial change they claim. He emphasizes the importance of the Liberal Party presenting a clear, positive agenda to win back these crucial seats.
