Yes. Bold leadership expected by the voters now. Address all the internal stuff. Be more vocal with actions on the genocide being perpetrated by Israel - this is not being anti-semitic. Cancel Aukus as a necessary precursor to a different submarine solution and strategizing a realignment in the Asia Pacific as we are no longer the "deputy of the rogue sheriff".

The Liberal Party has many issues they'll need to deal with, the most obvious one was how to deal with donors and benefactors who have considerable sway over the policies and ideas that they take to the public. Nuclear is an excellent example. The big push for nuclear has only happened over the past two years, and it's been thoroughly rejected by the public - although elections are decided by many issues, it's obvious that the policy on nuclear is one that not many people want. But, instead of comprehensively ruling it out after the election loss, they're still talking about it. Why, because they're beholding by the mining industry, especially Hancock Corporation. The main issue for a political party is to survive, the second issue is to get into office. The Liberals are now focusing on the first part – through support and donations from the mining industry so they can survive – but that support will stop them from achieving the second part – getting back into office. This is a long-term problem for them.
