We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!
Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover
We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.
Clarification of the title; He was never our leader. He was the leader of the opposition, the leader of the conservative party, but never Australia’s leader.
And to add insult to injury, he lost his own division. He is the first leader of the opposition in the history of Australia to lose their own divisional seat in the election.
I saw a meme going around about our guy in Canada who met a similar fate. It compared him to a toilet, noting that while both are full of shit, the toilet at least has a seat.
He’s on his way back, because he doesn’t know how to do anything else. Let’s hope his colleagues at least take the party leadership away from him.
