I honestly thought Hastie was a more canny politician than he is coming out as since the election. What does he mean,

"This motion — moved and supported by my division of Canning — reflects a growing concern from mainstream Australians about our expensive energy bills, unreliable supply, and the erosion of our national sovereignty," Mr Hastie said in the email.

Does he mean 'Mainstream' Australians support his net zero, and welcome to country culture war? Thats such an incoherent statement in the face of their election loss, they have to get back to real policy.

Its a shame, because i think Hastie could be really strong and in a productive way in opposition on defence, but if he's seeking relevance through culture wars like this, then he's lost the plot.
