He later said that he should have done “more due diligence” on the Nationals’ ideology, saying that he would have never joined the party had he known about its conservative bent. He only did so because he was a budding political consultant and “they’re the party around here, I’m a young bloke, I need a job.” (Port Macquarie and its predecessor seat, Oxley, had been in the hands of a conservative party without interruption since 1927, and in the hands of the Nationals for all but six years since 1944.) He added that he didn’t think the Nationals didn’t do “enough due diligence on me” prior to clearing him to stand for Port Macquarie. He also questioned the relevance of the Nationals in an electorate transformed by demographic change and the growth of tourism. Increasingly, he concluded that as long as he remained in the National party room, he would be “a square peg in a round hole.” He believed that he had three options–spend a decade in the legislature as a “robotron” National member, quit politics, or run as an independent.
