Odds against remade Dutton as Coalition faces three difficult years | jamesmassola
Plibersek quickly apologised for commenting on his appearance and Dutton noted he had a medical condition that caused baldness, and he “wasn’t the prettiest bloke” as a result.
Already, a makeover is under way, with colleagues attesting to the Dutton “they know” as a pragmatist, rather than a religious conservative; as someone who helped steer through the same-sex marriage postal survey; who isn’t hung up on the climate change wars; who can unite the party; who can focus on cost-of-living issues and speak plainly to the suburbs and regions.
The 2022 election has flipped the script and some of the verities of Australian politics – such as that electorates like Kooyong, Goldstein, Higgins, Boothby, Mackellar, Wentworth, North Sydney and Curtin are safe Liberal seats – have been wiped out.Morrison’s election strategy of, in effect, abandoning those seats while targeting outer-suburban and regional electorates, including Corangamite, McEwen, Parramatta, Werriwa, Greenway, Gilmore, Lingiari and Cowan, was an utter failure.
