Taylor's new lineup

 Angus Taylor announced his new shadow lineup. See Michelle Grattan.

I have reservations. In no particular order here they are.

  • Taylor was a very poor minister and just as bas shadow treasurer. Why on earth does anyone think he can succeed as Opposition Leader?
  • He appointed Tim Wilson as shadow treasurer. The only person who thinks wilson is impressive is wilson.
  • He wants to cut immigration. This will impact both skilled labour and universities. There is no evidence this has penetrated the Opposition as yet. One Nation can be  moorons. the LNP cannot!
  • Changing the leader does not solve the major problems for the opposition.
  • The structural deficit is about $20b. In what time do they think they can eliminate this?
  • They have few seats in the cities primarily because they are not seen as fair dinkum on climate change.  One nation and the nationals following them will ensure this continues.

The present government is not impressive.They are very timid thus we need an opposition that is ready for government. We do not have it now and it seems unlikely for a while.
