To The Australian Britain has developed a great conservative statesman ('Unflappable Jacob Rees-Mogg may hold the keys to a Brexit solution', 19/7); Australia still needs one, for Corey Bernardi is not there yet. There are cats he must bell before he can qualify. What happens between Britain and the EU is of profound importance to Australia because Britain remains our mother country and what it does at this critical stage will affect what can be done here, where we are still struggling to evade a complete takeover by that same Establishment which Rees-Mogg is battling and to which Greg Sheridan specifically refers. In our case we have to ditch the republic campaign and also the "Aboriginal constitutional recognition" trap. We have to cut immigration drastically, ensure we have sealed borders and remove recent impediments to free speech inflicted on us by ALP governments.
