Liberals need a new leader and a new direction, but path forward unclear
Share this @internewscast.com
Analysis: As triumphant a night this was for Anthony Albanese and Labor, the Liberal party will be left to sift through the wreckage for years to come.

At the end of the night Labor is creeping towards the 90-seat mark.

Christopher Pyne, who served alongside Dutton in the cabinet, said the damage to the Liberal party will be felt for years.

“One of my concerns is that because the Coalition has gone backwards we could well be two elections away from being seriously competitive,” he said.

Nine chief political editor Charles Croucher was more damning.

“This is a huge loss,” he said. “It should be a huge lesson to the Liberal Party. You cannot continue in the same direction.

“A new leader needs a new direction because the country needs a good opposition.”

Dutton downcast as Albanese triumphs

“It’s a remarkable win,” said Croucher.

“Having a majority is beneficial. We can hope that the challenges faced by everyone in Australia over the past five years are behind us, paving the way for a more joyful future together.”
