78-Year-Old Liberal Branch Member Sick Of Not Being Taken Seriously At Meetings Because He's Too Young

A Liberal Party branch meeting in Betoota Ponds has ended in a fiery exchnage overnight, as the fall-out of the Federal leadership spill continues.

It seems that the old guard are thrilled to see Sussan Ley replaced because, according to Sky News, she only got the job because she's a woman.

On top of that, Pauline Hanson's polls numbers are surging, which doesn't really mean anything three years out from an election, but in the era of brainrot - the Liberal Party is relying on social media comments from anonymous fascists as a temperature check on the wider Australian electorate.

Modernising the Federal Coalition will be a difficult task, as one youthful local Betoota branch member discovered this week.

At just 78-years-of-age, Walter Thurmond (water tank insurance broker) is a picture of youthful exuberance - and an example of the younger perspectives that the Liberal Party desperately needs to tap into.

Unfortunately, Walter finds his ideas and suggestions constantly being slapped down by the old guard, who sneer at his gentle advocacy for female candidates.

They also think he obviously spends too much time watching television and reading comic books, given his obsession with this silly climate change myth.

"I don't know" says Walter.

"It's getting more and more difficult to put forward ideas that might appeal to Australia's increasingly younger voter base"

"Anything I suggest just gets laughed out of the room because I have no living memory of World War Two"

Senior Betoota Branch Member, Dorian Gray (92) says he does feel for Walter, and hates to see his enthusiasm being shunned, but insists a bit more life experience would be good for the lad.

"He's got a lot of lessons ahead of him. His eagerness is very inspiring to all of us, but he doesn't fully understand how the world works just yet" says Dorian.

"He'll make a fine member in time, but he's a bit gung-ho for now. We are looking for decent policies and good candidates that win elections. It's not about being the most radical political party on offer"
