It’s a joke. Makes a mockery of our political system.

Can't lie... I'm loving seeing 'the coalition' behaving like this.

Old mate's gone missing after being such an avid spruiker of the Libs, Trump and Russia. As a broader comment, I'm glad that I haven't sold out my values in any of this.

She wouldn't have got elected on a straight Lib ticket.You're treating voters with contempt when you go to a election, gets re-elected and then changes party a week later

it's not a good look. you could argue she's shown the ruthlessness needed to make it to the top but i doubt she's got the policy breadth. doubt she'll ever have the numbers. she's alienated the nats and the libs supporting ley. still, she has a good story and if she does defy the odds then good luck to her.

interesting thinking about what effect the voice referendum had on the election result. its defeat encouraged the libs to go hard ball and that didn't work out well. as resounding as the referendum's defeat was, if dutton had supported a yes vote he would have rebranded himself as someone with a genuine softer side. he mightn't have won last week's election but he might still be in parliament. who knows
