It does seem that Senator Nampijinpa Price is another of the coalition members who haven't yet read the Liberal Party's secret review, which I tabled here on Tuesday. Recommendation 6 of the secret review states:

The Federal Parliamentary Party, which has the privilege of determining the Party's federal policies, must in future and especially in opposition … consult with the Party Organisation on the formulation of policy, and … do so in a timely manner.

It is clear that there was a significant breakdown in the required consultation process, to the detriment of the 2025 campaign. The Parliamentary leader needs to account for the development of sound policy to the Party.

So the question is: did the opposition leader know about this new coalition policy to scrap this key program, or was this more freelancing from Senator Nampijinpa Price, just like her support for making Australia great again in the election campaign that went so well?
