Which tie do you like because what’s inside the suit is the same
Vikki Campion
In the past, the Liberals and Nationals were the sombre, serious economic conservatives averse to wild experiments with the essentials of living. No longer. The heir apparent government in Queensland has decided to fatten its path to glory on Labor’s lunch. That state’s environment minister-to-be Sam O’Connor, not satisfied with just usurping Labor’s short-sighted support for their Voice to Parliament and Treaty, is now going for the hat-trick by leading the charge to follow Labor to an 80 per cent “renewable energy target.” He, too, has been sucked into the euphemistic jargon of “green, renewable wind and solar farms”. They are not green, not renewable, and they are certainly not farms.They are foreign-made, or developed, or owned, intermittent power producers swindling taxpayers in ad hoc subsidies, and everybody else on the price of their power. What other Labor policies – that will get Labor booted out of George St – do the LNP wish to steal? Queensland should observe their NSW Liberal and Nationals colleagues who tried to mimic Labor policies to negate Labor’s attack with a labmeat-eating, forest-clearing-wind-factory-loving Energy Minister and instead negated their government. Where does this tactic leave the NSW Nationals? Two bad by-elections away from losing party status. In both NSW and Queensland, the LNP and Labor Party may as well merge.
It’s now a case of which tie you like best because what’s inside the suit is the same.

The National Party became labor lite immediately upon the change from The Country Party.
I was treasurer for the local branch of The Country Party when it changed and I refused to join the 'new' regime.
Bunch of wankers.
If Menzies were alive today I'd reckon he would seek to ban their LNP.
