good rule to thumb here; see what Whispy Paterson says and do the opposite!

So the best the Libs can come up with after and absolute trouncing at the polls is to install a charisma-less potato as leader?

SkyTrash & Dogfood Dutton - a marriage for Hell.

Don't worry about attracting Teal party voters, wealthy entitled CBD women sponsored by millionaire investor in green energy is too much maintenance for Liberal party to accommodate and a distraction ?

OMG yes please select Dutton. If the libs respond to a small l liberal revolt by appointing a right wing nutter in Dutton as the lib leader then there is no way the libs will ever make it back. No small l liberal will vote for Dutton.

Yep, from the hardline, far right goon squad who hijacked the party and made it electoral poison. Winning formula,chaps.

0.003% of audience share. No one cares

Definitely not a left or centrist leader…. Going right didn’t work on the weekend, why would it work in three years time?

Not very smart extremist hahahaha

I love the logic behind this the LNP has women problem and the greens increase their primary vote let’s go more to the right and get this guy to be our leader. I would love to be in that meeting with the Murdoch political fiction department over seeing it

Except support from his electorate, which is on a knife edge with postals not favouring him, but sure

Then they've learnt nothing

I see no one in the party has learned their lesson LOL 🍿

Go boofhead! We support you. Lol 😂

Will just make his public downfall even sweeter following ICAC…Icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun

Or reins maybe? Wonder how long he'll rain for, as leader. It's been reigning in Sydney for months in fairness.

How low have the Liberals fallen. The best they can offer for leader is Dutton,Taylor and Tehan. Deputy leader Andrews and the only liberal in the party with integrity and courage of her convictions Archer who has no hope because of her integrity in a party where it is absent.

🌹 🌹 🌹

“Reigns” ? Good to see you’re keeping up the high standards of your journalism.

The amount of people slashing up over this is laughable. Australia voted in a mandate of tax increases in a time of severe inflation. But please, tell Twitter more about about how the LNP hurt you.

That's the kiss 💋 of death. 😄

But a man child like James would say that.

And he'll get more support from ICAC Sorry calls from ICAC.

He will answer to Albo the PM now.

This says it all

Yeah, he is quite good in conducting scare campaign. Why not?

Can you pls check and report on the Friendly Jordies video re spud and that dodgy car dealership? You know - the one MSM ignored.

Whoever it is just be a good opposition and stand up for what you stand for

They would, because who ever takes over after this shellacking, will be nothing but a sacrificial lamb for their first term in opposition.

Says a lot about the ' leftovers '

Peter Dutton- the Liberal’s Mark Latham.

Peter Dutton visibly upset at the likelihood of Josh Frydenberg losing to Dr Monique Ryan in Kooyong. KooyongVotes

I would be more inclined to go for someone like AngusTaylorMP . More polished and less baggage. Big mistake if they go for slippery pete

Writing's not that easy but Grammarly can help...

Please, please, please go with Dutton...he will become the longest serving OPPOSITION leader in Australian history....bwahaha

If he’s their best pick, it says how shallow the puddle of talent is with the LNP.

reins? Don't do that journalism thing do you? And yes bring on Dutton, right wing evil nut jobs will keep the lnp in opposition for 20 years, assuming the FederalICACNow doesn't jail most of the LNPliarsCrooksThieves

Liberals reckon this election result reflects a change… to Dutton. I move that the member no longer be heard…

Peter Dutton the man who wouldn't attend the National Apology to the Stolen Generation. A testament to the character of the man.

Er, subs ... that would be reins, I think. Or will it be King Peter?

Dutton set to become next Liberal leaderColleagues expect Peter Dutton to announce within days he will run for the Liberal leadership, although some question whether he can win back ‘teal’ seats. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 This dinosaur mentality is the reason why the coalition lossed.
