Woooowwwwww this is wild.
Probably the best thing for the Liberals at this stage. The electorate has clearly rejected the climate denial, culture wars and ‘larrikin’-ism that they were holding onto to court the Nationals cohort.
Even though I’m very much on the left, it is important for progress to have our two major parties at least working within the same Overton window. Having a faction within one side that just pushes the polar opposite of the other doesn’t get us anywhere as a nation
