LNP senator James McGrath says it would be “very dangerous” for the LNP to swing towards being more Trumpian in the wake of this:

It would be dangerous for my party, and I speak as Ronald Reagan Republican and a George Bush Republican, speaking to Donald Trump’s positions, we are a free-trade party and pro- Ukraine and we should continue to be centre-right.

We must resist that path and focus on where middle Australia is. If Luke Howarth is in trouble and Petrie, and I don’t want to mention prepoll because people are now drinking every time I say prepoll, when the suburbs and Petrie have swung against us that we have not got back the suburbs in Ryan and Brisbane.

What are we doing to make sure that we get back at centre-right vote, the middle Australia vote?
