Australia's Liberal Party is facing a crisis of confidence, with a historic polling low and a growing exodus of voters. In a candid admission, frontbencher Melissa McIntosh has suggested that the party may need a complete overhaul, including a "rebrand," to win back the trust of disillusioned Australians.
