Angus Taylor will announce new Coalition policies on migration and cost-of-living within months, declaring he wants to stop “bad immigration” and shut out those seeking to “import the hatred and violence of another place to Australia”, but has declined to say how the Liberals would make that assessment.
The new Liberal leader, and his deputy, Jane Hume, have also candidly admitted they personally made big mistakes during the last election, including unpopular decisions such as opposing Labor’s income tax cuts and seeking to restrict work-from-home arrangements for public servants, which were seen as key reasons for the Coalition’s crushing defeat.
