Andrew Hastie and the Rise of the 'Maga Right' in Australian Politics

Liberal MP Andrew Hastie's hardline stance on migration and manufacturing has sparked debate over whether the opposition frontbencher aims to shift his party further right and pursue the leadership.

Guardian Australia political reporter Dan Jervis-Bardy discussed with Nour Haydar the rise of the former SAS soldier turned politician and whether he could successfully import US-style politics to Australia.

Hastie's rhetoric has drawn comparisons to the 'Maga right' movement, raising questions about his potential to become a future Liberal leader or a disruptive force within the party.
