If he's in the party room he's got it in the bag. There's simply no alternative.So is Dutton taking over the LNP leadership? Surely not. That would be catastrophic for them. The sheer volume Green & Teal sears won, shows Australia wants progressive MP’s, not right wing loons.
A sustained or further shift to the right sucks for moderate Liberals but may not necessarily be a bad thing for the Left. A further right Liberals could gain back some from UAP/PHON lessening their impact while pushing moderates/swing voters to Independents and Labor possibly even a few reactionaries going Green.
