Part 8/10:
The conversation delved into the internal dynamics of the Liberal Party, with mentions of Andrew Hasty’s ambitions to lead and his outspoken positions on climate and energy. Conroy described Hasty as someone with leadership potential, but emphasized the importance of strategic timing in politics, countering the debate over whether Lee or Hasty should be at the forefront.
Conroy warned against the party’s current trajectory, criticizing Hasty’s advocacy for abandoning policies like net zero emissions. He warned that such policies could harm Australia's energy security and economy. Dani echoed these concerns, suggesting that Australian electricity prices must rise to the level of Britain’s policies, which he views as a necessary step towards socialist reforms.
