𝙳𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝙵𝚒𝚜𝚑𝚠𝚛𝚊𝚙<p>Now that this chapter of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> has closed, Hardaker's review puts it nicely in perspective. </p><p>"When the Liberals assess the causes of their disaster they’d be tempted to dwell on the five weeks of the campaign. A better place to start would be August 24, 2018, the day Abbott finally tore down Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister. </p><p>"It was an act of pure vengeful bloodletting, led by Dutton, Abbott’s ideological twin. Even then Dutton failed to convince his party that he was fit to lead. Victory on the day went to God’s man, Scott Morrison. </p><p>"But the purge of the party was well underway. Turnbull remarked at the time that the hard-right Abbott forces would rather destroy the party than accept the views of the moderates, especially on climate change and energy. </p><p>"And so it has transpired. Abbott lost his own seat in 2019, but the hard right ploughed on, oblivious to the evidence."</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Dutton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dutton</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LNP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LNP</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Coalition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coalition</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NastyParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NastyParty</span></a> <br><a href="https://thepolitics.com.au/behind-every-liberal-loser-stands-tony-abbott-hit-man/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thepolitics.com.au/behind-ever</span><span class="invisible">y-liberal-loser-stands-tony-abbott-hit-man/</span></a></p>
