A twenty-something that could easily be shortlisted to the top ranks of the Coalition in the next fifteen years says he only joined the Young Liberal party because he wanted to see Australia remain as fair and prosperous as he remembers it as a boy.
Hugo Griffin-Knightley (24) says his typical Australian upbringing – which saw him attending several international schools in Hong Kong and Singapore while his father ran the comms arm for FedEx AsiaPacific, before settling into an eight bedroom timber manor in Brisbane’s leafy inner-North – meant that he got to meet people from all walks of life.
“The inner-city elites are out of touch with everyday Australians” says the bloke who spoke at a seminar last year dedicated to stopping young boys from wearing dresses.
“Where I grew up… Everyone got along”
As the former debating captain of a nearby elite all boys school looks up to the top of the hill in Ascot, and sees an Australian flag waving from the flagpole attached to his grandfather’s castle-like colonial family home at the top of the hill, Hugo says it’s time for real Australians to take their country back from the whingeing greens.
“Enough is enough” he says.
“My great-grandfather didn’t send Australian men to fight in two world wars for these kinds of date-changing soap dodgers to muck around with our way of life”
