‘Crazy plan': NSW Liberal Party considers US-style primaries
'The Liberal Party continues to self-flagellate and navel gaze while Anthony Albanese is getting away with murder,' Mr Macpherson said.
'The Labor leader is literally reshaping the entire country, and there's just no opposition because ever since losing the election, the Liberals have been concerned not with the nation, but with themselves.
'Julian Leeser … he's considering a crazy plan … they're going to have US-style primaries.'

Trump threatens fresh tariffs of up to 200pc on key Australian exports
Donald Trump says he might slap tariffs of 200 per cent on pharmaceuticals and 50 per cent on copper - two of Australia's key exports. Australia is among the top copper producers in the world, but the bulk of exports go to southeast Asia. Last year Australia exported just $55m in copper to the US. Pharmaceuticals is another matter, with Australia's exports to the US totalling north of $2bn in 2024. The US President announced the new levies at a cabinet meeting overnight. 'I believe the tariff on copper - we're going to make it 50 per cent,' Mr Trump told reporters, with officials later adding it would come into effect by August. The timeline for the new rate on pharmaceuticals could be later, Mr Trump said. 'We're going to give (drugmakers) about a year, a year and a half to come in, and after that, they're going to be tariffed,' he said. 'They're going to be tariffed at a very, very high rate, like 200 per cent. 'We'll give them a certain period of time to get their act together.'

Albanese dismisses two requests from China ahead of visit
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has declined to engage with two of China's requests ahead of his visit to Beijing on Saturday. Mr Albanese has rejected a call to incorporate AI into an updated free trade deal. The Prime Minister is focused on business, trade, and tourism, citing jobs as his main priority for talks with key officials. A demand to loosen foreign investment rules is also being ignored despite China lifting trade sanctions on $20 billion of Australian exports.
