Once again the Liberal Party has learnt their voting base is more ruthless than any Wall Street broker could ever aspire to be – and for good reason. If the Coalition can’t get its act together, the Prime Minister will have carte blanche to change Australia as he wants.
Denial from the Coalition and its supporters ultimately led to the crippling losses in the election. There are eight lessons the Liberals must learn if they want to survive, writes Joe Hildebrand.
Election campaign staff deliberately shielded ousted Opposition Leader Peter Dutton from key intel because “he was already a nervous wreck”, writes James Campbell.
Attracting the support of the centre is the only way to win when you have a compulsory voting system, writes the editor.
Labor’s campaign about Peter Dutton’s nuclear power plants and fabrications about cuts to Medicare are reminiscent of propaganda practised by communist regimes, writes Des Houghton.
These are the crossbench MPs who will hold all the power if Labor or the Coalition needs to form a minority government — and what they would want in return.
A new poll has revealed that some voters in 20 key marginal seats don’t love the idea of Anthony Albanese as their Prime Minister, as Dutton fights to stop Labor forming a minority government.
Election analyst Tom Connell reveals why the early and late votes will be of real interest as he explains how every seat will be called after polls close.
Peter Dutton believed he was on a winning streak and nobody told him he was wrong until it was all too late. It was echo chamber politics, pure and simple, writes Joe Hildebrand.
It is the natural order of things that Gen Zs and millennials now outstrip the number of baby boomers voting, but would it hurt them to do their homework, writes Kylie Lang.
Amid a final campaign blitz, Albo’s entrance to the riskiest of places was saved by a surprise secret weapon. James Weir witnesses the glory.
Is Labor destined for election success largely because of the Coalition’s campaign fumbles? Many think so. HAVE YOUR SAY
As it is almost time for the curtain to close on the election, there is one huge issue we need to be talking about.
Usually when you conduct a post-mortem the courteous thing to do is wait until the patient is dead – but it’s easy to see what went wrong for the Coalition, Joe Hildebrand explains.
