'We failed to connect': Liberal Party need to face 'reality' of modern politics
Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie has reflected on the recent federal election result and discussed his aspirations for the future.
This comes after Sussan Ley became the first female leader in the history of the Federal Liberal Party.
“I think it’s really important that we take a humble posture over the coming months, and we listen to the Australian people, and we really understand how we failed to connect,” Mr Hastie told Sky News Australia.
“The reality of modern politics is that you also have to be very local and sensitive to the issues that people are facing every day in their lives.
“I think we need to do a better job of listening first and foremost.”
