What happened to the “Liberal” in “Liberal Party”? It’s a question that many former top Liberals are clearly asking, with a mini-exodus of three – former Queensland premier Campbell Newman, former Parramatta MP Ross Cameron and former Warringah operative John Ruddick – to the Liberal Democrats.
Mainstream Australians would more than blush at the no-holds-barred extreme libertarianism of the minor party – Ruddick even attended the idiotic anti-lockdown protest in Sydney – but these diehard freedom-fighters could be forgiven for finding the nominally Liberal Prime Minister Scott Morrison a very Liberal fish indeed.
