Albo’s looking like a one-term prime minister at the moment.
Yeah see this is the part that really grinds my gears. Labor has wasted a lot of political capital on this. They didn't have much to start with. I'm not looking forward to a decade of Dutton.
I don't understand how this became a party issue. There are practically no LNP members here in WA, so they don't need to follow the national LNP directives.
The result is: the opposition leader here said she's resigning and voting yes. Our two most well-known Libs (one the former deputy PM) are both publicly in the 'yes' camp.
Not that any of it matters.
Something I'd read/listened to recently suggested that it might have more of a detrimental affect on Dutton when it comes to the election - people will remember his campaigning during this, and be really turned off it when voting for a leader. On the other hand, Albanese has done some work towards keeping his leadership separate from the outcome of the result.
Yeah the yes vote is crushing it in traditional Liberal seats, and they are going to remember this.
The swinging seats were largely the apolitical suburbs, who aren’t idealistic lefties but aren’t rusted-on megachurch culture-warriors either. They bend with the wind. Morrison was on the nose, so they swung to Labor; whether they stay with Labor or conclude, after surveying the famously impartial media, that we need a change is an open question.
Given he's just pissed $450m up the wall for nothing, that seems appropriate
