Imo it’s not a loss for Australia when the only opposition is batshit insane and dangerous. They needed a harsh slap on the face. They need to be told in no uncertain terms that this Trump-lite bullshit is NOT welcome, it is not to be entertained even in a “but muh both sides!” debate. The Libs entirely deserve this bollocking.

I do really hope they can become an effective opposition again (and the greens too). But it’ll require some big changes. If the libs do another moronic pivot even further right like they did after the last election and the loss at state level in Vic, then seriously, that’s not even remotely Labor or the Australian public’s fault. I’d love to see the libs die and some alternative parties come up instead.
