Traditional Right

Two values put to the test:

Work & Industrial Relations It was tested in the 2007 Australian Federal Election. Was treated as an orthodox Cultural issue by Howard. He lost as people realised it was the economics that bit them back. Even right supporters don’t like their kids come home being exploited as casual workers as a result of lax legislation.

Environment & Climate Change Whilst it is sold as an economic issue (and it may well be), it is actually turning out to be a cultural battle for Malcolm Turnbull against the conservative side of his Liberal Party.
