2UE has broadcast former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser’s final interview in February on Justin Smith’s Drive program, before he sadly passed away today.

Justin Smith interviewed Mr Fraser around the time of the federal Liberal leadership crisis and what he perceived were current Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s issues.

During the interview, Mr Fraser called for the creation of a new mainstream political party, saying that the way the Liberal, Labor and Parliament were behaving “opens the door to something new”.

The interview aired on February 4th 2015.
