Angus Taylor has presented his argument to the public through a post on X, despite the fact that the public won’t have a direct say in this decision.
Amidst the backdrop of rustling eucalyptus leaves, with his sleeves rolled up, Taylor began with a stark declaration that “our country is in trouble.”
He criticized the current administration, stating, “The Labor government has failed, and the Liberal Party has lost its way.”
Expressing his ambitions, Taylor said, “I’m running to be the leader of the Liberal Party because I believe that Australia is worth fighting for.”
He emphasized the need for “strong and decisive leadership that gives Australians clarity, courage, and confidence in providing a vision for the future.”
“We must start by holding this failing Labor government to account for their total mismanagement of our country, and advocate for solutions to the problems that Australians are facing.
“I’m dedicated to serving you, the Australian people, and giving you a strong alternative that re-enlivens the great Australian dream.
“I’m committing myself to the cause of restoring our party so that it can be the party that Australians expect and deserve because we are running out of time and Australia is worth fighting for.”
By contrast, incumbent leader Ley’s recent X posts focus on the budget and the economy, including promising lower taxes.
“Aspiration sits at the heart of the Australian promise. If you work hard, play by the rules, do your best for your kids and give back to your community, you should be able to build a better life for your family,” she wrote in a post that went up a couple hours after Taylor’s.
“An Australia with lower personal income taxes, less red tape and strong communities. An Australia that is safe, confident and full of opportunity. That is the country I believe in and will always stand up for. For now, and for future generations.”
