Yeah see this is the part that really grinds my gears. Labor has wasted a lot of political capital on this. They didn’t have much to start with. I’m not looking forward to a decade of Dutton.
I don’t understand how this became a party issue. There are practically no LNP members here in WA, so they don’t need to follow the national LNP directives.
The result is: the opposition leader here said she’s resigning and voting yes. Our two most well-known Libs (one the former deputy PM) are both publicly in the ‘yes’ camp.
Something I’d read/listened to recently suggested that it might have more of a detrimental affect on Dutton when it comes to the election - people will remember his campaigning during this, and be really turned off it when voting for a leader.
On the other hand, Albanese has done some work towards keeping his leadership separate from the outcome of the result.
Albo’s looking like a one-term prime minister at the moment.

Not that any of it matters.

Given he’s just pissed $450m up the wall for nothing, that seems appropriate
