What would a Dutton Liberal leadership mean for the Liberals and the country?

[nut]

It’s like Dutton is telling the world who runs the world and how he is going to bend over backwards for them …

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Hard to see how prioritising phone calls with Netanyahu and Trump if he's elected is going to do much much for Australia other than pampering Spud's fragile ego.

Interested to know how it will play out in West Sydney as well, surely it's a vote loser?

Liberal have two very big problems and I am not sure how they overcome them. I think you are right with the 2019 comparison.

1. Dutton and the Liberals (sort of) "policies" are way too big. Nuclear is just politically dumb. Aligning so strongly with Israel is frankly bewildering. Aligning so strongly with the USA is equally curious - particularly given how much their last government damaged Australian exports.
2. Dutton - like Shorten - does not have the charisma to pull any of this off.

I have similar thoughts...

There are 150 seats on the line. It will be close again like 2013 and 2016 when Liberals got 76 seats while Labor got 68 or 69 seats while other smaller parties got one each.

If you told me at the start of the year who is going win back in January, I would have Predicted Coalition led by Dutton to scrape through and get the minimum 76 or 77 seats, then Labor gets 67 or 68 or 69 seats.

I reckon it will be close. But I actually think Labor will take a gamble and stick with Albanese. Labor somehow gets 76 or 77 seats. Teal independents get 5 or 6 seats. Liberals get 64 or 65 seats.

I still think there's that teal independents that will be an obstacle in Coalitions way again.

How many in WA swing back to the LNP though?

Depends on how many Clive Palmer adds are shown in WA

That was the assumption at the WA state election, and nothing really happened. Swings away from Govt went to independents. I guess one or two would, but the polling trends don't show it across the board.

In my area the LNP and Pauline's mob already have their signs out. No Labor signs as yet

In saying that the LNP went hard early with their advertising and it did bugger all to help them.

To be honest.... Western Australia is usually the last state to get their votes counted.

If it's close or dead even and WA is the only state left, then most WA seats will favour Labor

I see after his shitshow yesterday that he is in hiding again.

precisely. another reason to keep ‘thug’ on the opposition benches. he’d sell us out lock, stock, and barrel.

If Dutton does win the 2025 election, we will be in a worse position than right now

Better still, keep him out of politics by voting him out of his seat!

Hey, don't undersell the benefits from Dutton's proposed "free trade agreement" with Israel.

 

[GreyCrow]

Does he want Frydenburg back?

 

[Saint]

Hey, don't undersell the benefits from Dutton's proposed "free trade agreement" with Israel.

The ICJ and UN also say we shouldn't be ( and warns all nations against) doing trade deals with the genocidal Israeli Govt.

Their letterboxing in Kooyong. ‘Teals revealed’ is amateurish and a negative for them in every greens or labor voting household

I can't tell you. I can't watch it at all it without wanting to put my phone through the tv.
