Finally someone says it out loud. It was doing my head in how this was staring at us right in the face as a possibility but got overshadowed by Dutton getting obliterated. I don’t know how, but Labor have someone manage to vaporise not one but two opposing party leaders in a single election. It’s nuts.
This would just be another parallel between us and Canada. Yes, Pierre Poilievre losing his seat, and Dutton following in his footsteps, has gotten most of the attention. But New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh also lost his seat in Canada.
Three if you count Clive "retiring" from politics.
Clive will be back. He's like Palpatine.
Somehow, Palmer returned.

Palmer just plays with politics — to the tune of over $250 million so far — as a hobby, a bit of fun. He has said his wife allows him the hobby! He'll get bored and try again; not to win, just to have fun.
