LEY DOWN! Libs opt for “Fantastic” failure Taylor — liar, denier and water rorter

The Liberals have chosen Angus Taylor, a proven liar who opposes net-zero policies, to lead the parliamentary party.
Given this background, it seems more likely to lead them into oblivion than to lead them to victory at the ballot box.
Taylor lied about something repeatedly in 2019. fake document Sydney would attack the Lord Mayor Clover Moore.
Taylor also insists on an $80 million buyback of Murray-Darling Basin water in 2017 from a company he previously co-founded. It’s a deal that has been widely criticized as overpriced, opaque and for failing to provide environmental water. (Read more about meA.Taylor’s research series on water caries Here.)
Taylor and his right-wing colleagues oppose this legislation. based on science Australia’s initiative to reach net zero by 2050.
But one Guard The baseline survey in October 2025 found:
‘Liberal voters want the party to pursue more progressive policies and not drift further towards right-wing positions, according to a new poll showing more Australians support a net-zero climate target than oppose it.’
And one November YouGov poll I just found this ‘13% of Australians think the government should do less to limit the effects of climate-induced extreme weather events’if 61% ‘I think the Federal Government needs to do more on climate change’.
Taylor was revealed to be a liar in 2019, when he was Minister of Energy and Emission Reduction.
made a claim letter He told the Lord Mayor that the council’s annual report showed the council spent $1.7 million on international travel and $14.2 million on domestic travel. The letter was also given to him. Daily Telegraphpublished the figures.
The Lord Mayor checked the report which showed what the council had actually spent. less than $6,000 during international and domestic travel.
In Parliament, Mark Butler asked :
“I am referring to his presentation of a forged City of Sydney document to The Daily Telegraph in order to influence the Mayor of Sydney in the exercise of his public duty. Will the Minister reassure the House that this forgery was not committed by him or his office?”
Taylor replied
“Yes.”
In the press release presented to the Turkish Grand National Assembly on October 25, 2019, Taylor denied He said an employee in his office altered the document.
On 25 November 2019, the Minister submitted a statement to Parliament stating that neither he nor his staff took any action. changed the annual report.
With apologies to the Lord Mayor, taylor said in a media statement:
“The Labor Party has typically gone overboard by claiming the documents were forged or altered. These claims have absolutely no basis.”
It was in December clarified:
‘Liberal worker Josh Manuatu was identified on Wednesday as the person who obtained the fake figures used in a Daily Telegraph article criticizing Clover Moore.’
Senator Murray Watts it was counting Taylor’s lies.
“He misled parliament six times by claiming doctored documents were obtained from the City of Sydney website.”
Both men have been successful ever since. Despite the scandal Manuatu He was not sacked and became the Liberals’ Canberra division manager in February 2020. He currently serves as deputy federal director of the Liberal Party of Australia.
