The direction of the political right in Australia is increasingly under scrutiny, as the Coalition looks to rebuild following its election loss and redefine its identity with voters.
Former LNP senator Gerard Rennick has been among those questioning the party’s trajectory, arguing it has drifted from its core principles. Since leaving the LNP, he has moved to establish his own political movement, positioning himself as part of a broader shift on the right.
With debates intensifying around leadership, economic management, and the future direction of conservative politics in Australia, he spoke with The Wire’s Patrick Dunstan.
