Angus Taylor can’t tell us how much his new tax policy costs or how he’ll pay for it. The speech didn’t survive an hour. An absolute train wreck.

If the cap fits. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Two frames. 1. Lib Party Room, members huddled around table, one says “We have no policies, no principles, no vision, no credibility, no gravitas, no consistency, no popular appeal…” 2. Same scene, another says, “You’re right - Angus Taylor is the leader who best represents us.”
