  The Liberal party has only held a majority in their own right once in their 80 year history, the 1996 election of John Howard.

  But, as was already pointed out, this is satirical. However I feel like it’s gearing up for the Coalition’s response if Labor ends up forming government with the Greens, which I feel like is more than just an outside chance.

    They’ve been trotting out this line consistently for ages. That’s why it’s being satirised…

    In the course of his answer, Mr Dutton said: “The prime minister, if he’s in a minority government in the next term of parliament, it will include the Greens, it’ll include Green-Teals, it’ll include Muslim candidates from Western Sydney. It will be a disaster.”

    It’s satirising what the bellends say with a straight face, though. See examples: aussie.zone/post/19606192/16128256
