We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!

Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover

We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.

    Ty! Makes a bit more sense as it does give context. The ‘booting to the curb’ was a bit editorialized. But if like me, you have no idea who Dutton and Dickson are it’s a lot clearer.

      It’s also factually incorrect. While Poilievre lost his seat, he’s staying on as leader and attempting to win another in a by-election.

      So he isn’t really booted to the curb because his party kept him. Or least for today, they’re supposed to hold a secret vote tomorrow.
