Liberal frontbencher Andrew Bragg calls for an “economic revolution,” prompting criticism within his own party. The remarks come a day after former prime minister John Howard urges bold policy changes aimed at countering the influence of One Nation.
Brisbane Times and The Age both report that Bragg goes further than his colleagues by announcing a new migration target. They say Angus Taylor, another senior figure in the government, does not repeat the migration target, suggesting a lack of alignment across party members.
Both outlets frame the episode as an instance of Bragg freelancing on economic policy, rather than delivering a coordinated message. While the sources agree on the timing and the divergence over the migration target, they offer limited additional detail on the specific policy content or party reactions beyond noting that Bragg’s comments ruffle feathers within the Liberal Party.
