Holy f****. The coalition are going full alt right nut job party.
Come on. The teals are in because they are not right wing conservatives, with anti climate science, anti transgender views. Nothing really 'Liberal' about the Liberal party. Lets hope Dutton is opposition leader and perhaps later down the track the after a few terms of the new government the Teals can form an alliance, don't think it would be bad for the country, and interesting though/idea.Talk about not reading the room. The teals are in Parliament because they're not Libs.
We don't have compulsory votingCompulsory voting is the biggest protection against the hard right, together with an Aust Electoral Commission. Trump and his cronies would have no hope if the US had these two pillars. That said I'm still nervous about Dutton and Joyce. Their big threat may well be attempts to corrupt the Aust electoral process if they somehow won office (as Trump also did).
Yeah he'll get it but i can't see him or Rupert making it to the next election. Libs will ditch him because he's too toxic and Rupert the sour brained old cretin will surely have gone down to meet his maker.Please elect Dutton as leader. PLease.
The ******* dumb hicks who vote for the Nationals are welcome to their coal lobby party and seeing thermal coal become impossible to sell in the coming decades. You were warned, and you chose poorly.
Enjoy your time in opposition you flogs.

On Insiders this morning, David Crowe (Age/SMH) suggested he'd heard Dan Tehan mentioned as a leadership candidate! Sam Maiden's guffaw erupted before Crowe even finished his sentence. He is the epitome of a local pollie out of his depth on a national stage.Please elect Dutton as leader. PLease.
But the moderates are gone - all that are left of the party are the hard right, they aren't going to get rid of their poster boy no matter how toxic he is. The nsw right factions will see to that.Yeah he'll get it but i can't see him or Rupert making it to the next election. Libs will ditch him because he's too toxic
Dunno mate, I think Dutton will move the Libs towards the Nats
Don't underestimate the Media, they will really fire up now
It may be a case of the Libs having to decide if they're going down that Trump Republican circus of trans/gay/death of western civ that the seppos have, or remaining a centre right low taxes, low regulation party.But the moderates are gone - all that are left of the party are the hard right, they aren't going to get rid of their poster boy no matter how toxic he is. The nsw right factions will see to that.
The libs are only 70 years old. This isn't the US, political parties can quickly whither and die as the preferential voting and compulsory voting systems we have mean that alternatives can prosper. Under Dutton the libs will go on a death spiral and another party could come in to occupy the centre-right ground that the Libs have abandoned, just like the Libs did in 1949 after the United Australia Party (NOT the clive palmer version) similarly failed. The old UAP ran the country up to 1939, by 1945 they had dissolved - this will be the Libs fate if Dutton is the next Lib leader. Bookmark it
Y u do dis?The liberal and national coalition will need to split up in order for the right side of politics to win power again.
As we move towards a greener future, any policies trying to hold back the shift will ensure they stay in Opposition.
No amount of Murdoch bullshit will work.
The LNP is dead …. The teals are here to stay ..and the Liberals will need to move left and contest safe national seats if they want to form government again.
…. And that won’t happen for atleast the next 2 elections.
Albo how long? Shitloads….
That's why I said 'if' Dutton is elected. The choice you have outlined will be made at the next party room meeting - go with Dutton and his hard right, extremist views and dog-whistle tactics or they dont. If they go with Dutton, then moderates will abandon them completely, to where, I dont know, but the Libs will atrophy to just the extremists. I would not be surprised if from the Teals springs a new party, probably starting a loose collection before moving into a more formal organisation that occupies the centre right. If that were to happen I would not be surprised in the Nats adjust themselves to become more aligned with this team - as that is the only way they would ever regain political power.It may be a case of the Libs having to decide if they're going down that Trump Republican circus of trans/gay/death of western civ that the seppos have, or remaining a centre right low taxes, low regulation party.

How many swinging voters are in kooyong??????? Are you blind?Doubtful.
If the ALP were to move as far to the left as the SRP, they'd be turfed out in the next election. Like it or not, swinging voters decide elections.
Mate, I voted ALP.How many swinging voters are in kooyong??????? Are you blind?
Greens just won LNP seats FFS …
If the liberals share your view they are cooked for ever.
For the Liberals to win back power they need to convince the people of Australia that THEY are the best team to transition to renewables …. They can’t do that as the LNP…
