Australia has dodged the bullet of fake conservatism.
It is now incumbent on those who can survive Labor’s treacherous incompetence
to ensure a decent alternative is offered in 2028.

Phew. That was close! Had Peter Dutton’s Coalition won this election, we would be staring at three years of fake conservatives appeasing the environmental lobby, imposing new censorship laws, introducing a digital ID and central bank digital currency, ignoring the toxic National School Curriculum and locking us all up every time Anthony Fauci catches a cold.
The Coalition would have combined that with just enough sensible reform to keep both its base and its leftist focus groups onside come the next election. In other words, long-term, robust conservative policies would have been as likely as Albo’s newfound Catholicism preventing him from marching in the next Mardi Gras.
Thank goodness that instead we are staring down three years of unmitigated catastrophe at the hands of the most incompetent, nastiest bunch of politicians Australia has seen. Our contempt for them need not be moderated. Nor will we need to stifle our amusement as they impose arguably the worst agenda of any Australian government in history.
You have to understand that the people rejected Dutton on multiple fronts. In a large part it was the total lack of policy and the culture war bullshit, but on the other, the Liberal Party has strayed too far to the right. It's not about them not being far right enough, you've got it all backwards.
They've lost touch with every aspect of Australia that isn't middle to older aged financially secure white men.
They're not going to get that back by moving further to the right.
It's a sobering realisation that you hyper conservative dullards just don't seem to be able to get.
You're on the out. Pandering more to your echo chambers rather than the majority of Australia will only turn the Coalition, especially the Liberal Party, into a fringe minority.
Wake up.
