As the Liberal Party begins soul-searching after a crushing defeat in the May 3 elections, NSW Senator Hollie Hughes has blamed the loss on the absence of a compelling economic agenda, criticising Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor for offering no clear plan.
“I feel that we have zero economic policy to sell. I don’t know what he’s been doing for three years. There was no tax policy, there was no economic narrative, and the fact that we’re in a massive cost of living crisis, and [Treasurer] Jim Chalmers has basically skated through unscathed,” Hughes told ABC radio.
