Investigating the radical realignment of Australian right-wing politics | Four Corners Documentary

The Liberal Party is hurtling towards a reckoning, and this week on Four Corners, the ABC’s multiplatform political correspondent Patricia Karvelas takes you inside the contest that will shape the future of the Coalition. This isn’t just a battle that will decide who leads the Liberal Party, it’s a battle for the party’s identity, and direction. Speaking with key powerbrokers, Karvelas and the team unpick the issues at the heart of that fight. One side of the party believes that to survive, they must break with its past, abandoning traditional Liberal principles, to remake themselves as a populist force. Another side insists the Liberals’ strength has always come from the discipline, stability and conservative fundamentals of the Howard era. As One Nation rises and the centre‑right panics, Four Corners reveals the real drivers of the leadership change, the panic in the Liberal party about its future, and the war for its soul that is only just beginning.
