If you want a basic measure of the difference between Liberal leader Angus Taylor and Nationals leader Matt Canavan, compare these two reactions to US President Donald Trump’s extraordinary threat this week that “a whole civilisation will die tonight”.
Asked to comment on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s response that Trump’s language was not appropriate, Taylor said, “Oh look, they’re not the words I would use.”
Canavan said: “The post from the president overnight went way too far and beyond the realms of acceptability”.
