Blaming Donald Trump for conservative losses in both Canada and Australia is being too kind to Peter Dutton
https://theconversation.com/blaming-donald-trump-for-conservative-losses-in-both-canada-and-australia-is-being-too-kind-to-peter-dutton-255599The Coalition should resist seeing Trump as a natural disaster over which they had no control. Peter Dutton made many other missteps that doomed his party’s chances.

Bandt's project to change the Greens failed. Along the way, he helped wreck the appeal of minority government
https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/05/election-2025-adam-bandt-greens-failure/It’s a shame that Adam Bandt looks likely to cling to his seat after a 3%+ swing against the Greens leader in Melbourne. His removal would — as with the ousting of Peter Dutton — solve a major problem for his party: what to do with a discredited leader. ... read full post

Election recap
Hello! Maybe this is the wrong place as I'm sure there are a lot of political aficionados here, but I did a little write-up on the little quirks, key seats, and unexpected results of Saturday's election. I've personally found it kinda annoying to trawl through ABC and Poll Pludger on a seat-by-seat basis, so I thought I'd give more of a state-focused overview on what's happened for those that haven't really looked into the finer details of the results yet. ... read full post

Australia 2025 – Wrap-up of the night
https://www.tallyroom.com.au/60426The exact record will depend on the final results, but it seems likely that this election result will produce more seats than the 90 seats won by Tony Abbott in 2013. There’s a chance Labor could surpass John Howard’s result in 1996, although I don’t think they’ll quite get there. As for Labor results, this is their best result in seat terms since 1943, and I don’t think any other result before that was any better. ... read full post

Watch Peter Dutton lose his seat, live
https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/federal/2025/guide/dickA few days ago, we saw Canada's Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre lose an election and his own seat. Can we make that twice in a week?
Current numbers (6.1% counted) have a 5.1% swing to the ALP, resulting in a 6.8% lead for Labor's Ali France over Liberal leader Peter Dutton.
