After missing by a whisker being shot in the head, Donald Trump’s instinctive battle cry was to ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’

So too the Liberal party has just avoided a near-death experience by jettisoning Sussan Ley and the hopeless, hapless ‘moderate’ ethos – a pathetic creed more deadly to electoral success than any assassin’s bullet.

Angus Taylor must now, too, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’.

Fight the last vestiges of Turnbull-era Liberalism, fight the destructive ideology of identity, and climate politics. Above all, he must fight to dismantle, decimate, and destroy the worst government in Australia’s history.

This is the fight Angus Taylor has been preparing for all his life. He must not flinch, he must not waver. As Tony Abbott has said, the next election can now be won.

Mr Taylor’s solid election victory – basically a 60-40 win, mirrors the last decent victory Australian conservatives enjoyed, that of the Voice referendum. I have always maintained there is a natural 60-40 conservative majority in this nation, but one which cannot abide wishy washy small ‘l’ Liberal bedwetting. It is up to Mr Taylor to harness that vote, working with his Nationals colleagues and One Nation.

We urgently need Mr Taylor to offer up sound policies to slash immigration, slash spending, and destroy the climate change rort.

The fight is there to be won. The enemy is Labor. The role of the opposition is not to ‘hold this bad Labor government to account’.

It is to destroy it.
