Andrew Bolt says it was the voters who were wrong as Sky News commentators grieve Dutton election loss | Amanda Meade
News Corp commentator blames Liberal party for allegedly shying away from culture wars as Peta Credlin in furious agreement: ‘we didn’t do enough of a culture war’
I reckon it was Chandler Mather's and the Greens treatment of Labor's housing policy that cost him and the Greens.
Renters needed assistance, Labor was trying to provide it, but the Greens played politics with it.
Yes, I agree.
If Bridgit McKenzie hadn't lost her seat she would've been a good option, who would've got a lot of traction with voters. A fat chance of a female being the the leader of the Liberal party though.
the result damages their brand and ideologies, it rubs their own poop in their faces
Aussies voted for stability, positivity, togetherness, calm, etc
something they know nothing about
Yes, shame Archer lost. One of the few decent Liberals.
Dan Tehan is a charisma-free zone. Seeing as they can't win in 2028 maybe he's not a bad choice, to make whoever comes through after look appealing by comparison. Don't think that person is in parliament yet. Like I've been saying for years, Coalition politicians are the dregs of the Right.

Will be interesting how Labor takes this.
From my point of view its the best of a fairly uninspiring bunch of political leadership -- short sighted policies with short term handouts to buy votes.
Messaging that its an overwhelming mandate will do my head in.
IMO - It clearly showed what most people are NOT interested in - overt racism and ultra stupid energy policy (nuclear). LNP preferencing one nation is repugnant. Trump style politics on those nose to most Australians.
i.e. it was a vote against something (which is super powerful), but not a strong vote FOR something
Personally I'd like wayyyyyy less welcome to country at the start of so many meetings. Two reasons - its a waste of time and resource - most people are just waiting for it to be over, and secondly it devalues it. Saving it for special occasions (IMO) makes it special and meaningful. Was I voting for the way it got pitched by the liberals - hell no.

Yeah he's not charismatic but he's a senior Liberal and they need a moderate to right the ship. Angus Taylor, Susan Ley or Andrew Hastie aint it.
Australians have roundly rejected the Murdocracy for a while now in Australia. Fortunately his influence has waned & his aging audience is dying with him.Newscorp idiots refuse to learn:

Whether or not its performed too often isn't an issue for an election campaign.
That's the real issue here. Last ditch culture wars which gave only their hardcore voters a hard on, like Credlin.
Using Bruce Ruxton's endorsement as a case for anything is where you've gone wrong here.
Dunno why veterans would object to rave parties when Anzac Day has always been a good excuse for pub pissups and rampant gambling.

The answer from Sky/NewsCorpse is always to swing further right and hope the voters go insane and follow.
They tried it in WA a couple of months back, didn't fly there either.
I mentioned Ruxton in my post as a response that the AFL had highjacked ANZAC day.
It’s an Acknowledgement of Country at your meetings, not a Welcome to Country. It takes about five seconds of your time.
And it’s not an election issue.
