Dave Sharma mimics Shorten’s Adani stance | Sky News Australia

FULL INTERVIEW: Wentworth Liberal candidate Dave Sharma is branding himself as a ‘modern Liberal’ for the federal election in May as he pushes an image of being a forward-looking, pragmatic politician.

The former Australian ambassador to Israel has dismissed observations that he could be trying to distance himself from long-serving Liberals, such as Tony Abbott, telling Sky News Political Editor David Speers that he’s ‘clearly running as a Liberal candidate’. Mr Sharma contrasts himself with Labor, who he says has a ‘backwards-looking, retrograde agenda’, despite sharing a similar stance on the controversial Adani coal mine as Opposition Leader Bill Shorten.

DaveSharma Dave Sharma is a person who has had a world of experience to give our Country in the area of Governance as well as International Affairs. He is a sincere and hard working family man. Australia needs new blood in Politics, and the calibre of people like Dave.

kelliekelly23 I think Dave Sharma has proven himself to be a waste of time. Hopefully that seat has some real conservatives people can vote for and that they actually do so.

Dave Sharma a life long bureaucrat employed and funded by Australian working family taxpayers. Name one achievement?

So is he saying the old liberals are not modern and not suitable for Australia now or is it purely symbolic and means nothing?
