## Resource

The Liberal Party is in freefall, hitting a historic 17% primary vote and with leader Angus Taylor’s approval at a crushing -20. Frontbencher Melissa McIntosh is pushing for a full rebrand—not abandoning principles, but reinventing how the party speaks to modern Australia. Polls are “diabolical,” trust is fractured, and while leadership isn’t up for grabs yet, Taylor admits the party has “breached trust.” The real battle? Reconnecting with voters through a bold, future-facing image. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
