Not only are the most vocal people remaining in the Parliamentary Liberal Party firmly on the Right, as is the “friendly media” that supports them, but the Nationals – that part of the Coalition with which they are tethered by a secret agreement they refuse to divulge and who now constitute a far greater proportion of the alliance – will never stand for it.
While Ley may not be as far gone on the Far-Right Richter scale as Peter Dutton, it is abundantly clear that even if she had once toyed with any “sensible centre” that may have ever existed, this is no longer the case. Any sudden moves in that direction will no doubt send Ley tumbling down that glass cliff into political oblivion faster than she can mutter sensible centre.
