Key Points: 
  • When Peter Dutton took the Coalition reins in 2022 after a humiliating loss of office, his first priority was unity.
  • A punchy and well-schooled parliamentarian, Dutton knew that if ever he was to contest the prime ministership, his primary challenge was to make it to the next election.
  • The alienation this policy creates among mainstream urban voters could more than offset its popularity in the joint party room (particularly within the anti-renewables Nationals).
  • They joined Warringah (NSW) on Sydney’s North Shore, lost spectacularly in 2019 to the original “teal”, Zali Steggall.

    The bad news has kept on coming.

  • That needless act, and the brash language justifying it, brought no interjection from Dutton.
  • It was an example of just the kind of braggadocio that could see even more Liberal women heading for the exits.
