Liberal Party ‘still have problems’: James Ashby

One Nation Chief of Staff James Ashby the Liberal Party “still have problems” despite a small boost in polling at the Dunkley by-election. The first results of the night showed a swing to the Liberals but it was Labor’s Jodie Belyea who won the seat in the end. “No matter how you try to slice and dice the positives out of this the Liberal Party needed a moral boost, and they got a slight one which is going to encourage some people back to the Party,” Mr Ashby told Sky News host Paul Murray. “It is unfathomable to think that you’ve got Advance Australia spending $300,000 on a campaign that was deliberately targeting those conservative voters to come back to the Liberals. “If they can’t do it with Advance Australia’s help, I don’t think they are capable of doing it alone.”
