John Howard and Peter Costello are right to remind the federal government that we are 'robbing the future to pay for [the] present'. With Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ warning about Australia’s ageing population setting up the scene for an 'important announcement' (which will probably mean the stage 3 tax cuts will be removed and taxes will be increased), the time is ripe for the Coalition to put forward what they do best – reforms. Coinciding the reforms required within the party (as set out in the recent review of the party) with a policy platform based on conservative values will provide a clear distinction between Labor and the government-in-waiting. But that alone will not be enough. What is needed is a grassroots revival of conservative politics in Australia.
Here is my latest article in The Spectator's Flat White, A Grassroots Revival of Conservative Politics:
Australian conservatism needs a revival - is @PeterDutton_MP the man to do it?

Labor are robbing our children to furnish their regime, but as it stands, no one is trying to stop them.https://t.co/hpOdTCZ09H
