Senator Cory Bernardi’s conservative alternative to GetUp, Australian Conservatives, has sent its potential members its first email missive, asking for donations and guidance on what issues are most important to potential members. The email told readers: “We cannot allow the political left to keep eroding our values, undermining our culture and diminishing our important institutions. Their success needs to be countered and that means Australian Conservatives need to get organised.” The list of conservative priorities starts with “protecting marriage” and includes “less tax”, “constitutional monarchy” and “climate alarmism”. Health, education and national security are also on the list.
