In what analysts are calling “the single most convoluted morality crusade of the decade,” Liberal MP Susan Ley has reportedly moved to expel fellow party member Andrew Hastie — not for policy disagreements or scandals, but for wearing Hugo Boss suits.
The move follows Ley’s ongoing attacks on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who she criticized for wearing a Joy Division t-shirt with “Nazi-era connotations,” despite reportedly being told years ago about the band’s origins on a podcast. He still wore it, and most of the public shrugged — it’s just a band t-shirt, after all.
Undeterred, Ley continues her mission to police historical symbolism, leaving observers baffled. From Albanese to fellow Labor members, and even Wong if she catches him whistling Wagner, no wardrobe misstep is safe. Hastie now finds himself under scrutiny for Hugo Boss, Jacinta Price for riding in a Mercedes, while Ley reportedly gives Albanese a gentle “rub” behind the scenes.
Commentators are left wondering whether the Liberal Party’s biggest threat is actually Hastie’s impeccable tailoring.
