saying the party needs to get its act together to win back the support of those the party has "abandoned". His comments came after the Liberal Party lost three Sydney seats to teal independents, with moderate Liberal MPs unseated in Wentworth, North Sydney and Mackellar.
Mr Kean, a senior moderate, said the party had paid the price for misreading the electorate and abandoning the centre ground. "It's an unmitigated disaster. I mean, the Liberal Party needs to get its act together when it comes to dealing with the issue of climate change … [and] listening to women," he said. "And they need to be standing up when it comes to integrity in politics and looking to have a serious policy when it comes to an integrity watchdog in our federal political system."Michael McCormack has held onto his seat of Riverina in south-western NSW.The Member for Riverina has held onto his south-western New South Wales seat and says he has already discussed the broader results with Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce. Mr McCormack says a swing against him in his electorate is likely due to broader sentiment towards the federal Coalition. "Look at the trying times we've had just in the past three years. There's a lot of angst in the community," he said. "There's a lot people who feel aggrieved by the circumstances which have befallen them because of circumstances well and truly outside the government's control."Trailers such as this were used as mobile drug labs and were on the Smithfield property for almost all of March. Police are appealing for information after the discovery of two mobile, clandestine drug laboratories and methylamphetamine in Sydney’s south-west. Last month, officers were called to a property on Long Street, Smithfield, after the discovery of two trailers containing chemicals, solvents and equipment consistent with the manufacture of prohibited drugs. The drug and firearms squad assisted in the dismantling of the labs and subsequent seizure of around 8 kilograms of methylamphetamine powder, and a further 28 kilograms of methylamphetamine liquid. Drug and firearms squad commander Detective Acting Superintendent Gillian Lister said police were confident that someone might have seen the owner or occupants of the vehicle in the vicinity of the property. “Methylamphetamine is a scourge on our community, and I urge anyone with information to do what is right and come forward to police,” Superintendent Lister said.
