The Liberal Party should bring Peta Credlin back from the political wilderness.

Get her out of the television studio, find her a winnable House of Representatives seat and give her a shot at leading the party to victory.

If the Liberals want someone who can take on Pauline Hanson and Anthony Albanese in the same afternoon, I can think of few better candidates.

Credlin was Tony Abbott's chief of staff in opposition and in government. Since 2017 she's hosted her own evening show on what is now News24, formerly Sky News.

Angus Taylor is struggling to make a dent as Opposition Leader, and the Liberals' endless game of footsies with Josh Frydenberg is getting them nowhere.

Tim Wilson and Andrew Hastie each have a following in the party room, but they'd probably need each other to pull off a change.

Even then, winning over each other's supporters is one thing. Persuading the country is quite another.

According to the latest Newspoll, One Nation sits on 28 per cent, Labor on 27 per cent and the Coalition on just 21 per cent.
