The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) began with a ceremony, a show of patriotism, and some trolling.
First came a welcome to country ceremony, followed by an acoustic performance of “We Are Australian”. Country Liberal Party Senator and rising star Jacinta Price then gave the opening address.
“First, I’d like to pay my respects to…” she began, pausing for effect, “…every proud Australian!”
After being on hiatus for COVID-19, CPAC Australia came at a crucial time for conservative politics in Australia.
