Thing is; he did have a major victory but it wasn't in a Federal Electorate sense but in a Liberal Party room sense. If Fadden went to anyone other than the LNP, Dutton would absolutely have to resign as the first opposition leader to lose 2 seats in post-election by-elections*. Now the pressure is ever so slightly off and might have another MP who won't vote against him.
*As far as I know, happy to be corrected
Yeah, I was thinking externally, but internally within LNP, agree with you.
