Liberals need a new leader and a new direction, path forward unclear
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Analysis: As triumphant a night this was for Anthony Albanese and Labor, the Liberal party will be left to sift through the wreckage for years to come. At the end of the night Labor is creeping towards the 90-seat mark. Christopher Pyne, who served alongside Dutton in the cabinet, said the damage to the Liberal party will be felt for years. "One of my concerns is that because the Coalition has gone backwards we could well be two elections away from being seriously competitive," he said. Nine chief political editor Charles Croucher was more damning. "This is a huge loss," he said. "It should be a huge lesson to the Liberal Party. You cannot continue in the same direction. "A new leader needs a new direction because the country needs a good opposition." "It's a remarkable win," said Croucher. "A majority is a good thing. Let's hope that the difficulties everyone's been through in Australia these last five years are now over, and we can all move to a happier place together."

Federal Election 2025: Unseated Dutton concedes after Coalition bloodbath
Peter Dutton has conceded the federal election after a shock nationwide swing to Labor saw him and several senior Coalition MPs unseated. 'Tonight's not the night that we wanted for the Liberal Party or for our Coalition or, indeed, for our country,' the Opposition Leader, surrounded by his family, said on Saturday night. 'But we worked hard every day over the course of the last three years to do our best for our amazing country.' Mr Dutton congratulated Anthony Albanese and Ali France, the Labor candidate who defeated him in Dickson. 'Now we didn't do well enough during this campaign — that much is obvious tonight, and I accept full responsibility for that.' he said. 'Earlier on, I called the Prime Minister to congratulate him on his success tonight. 'It's an historic occasion for the Labor Party, and we recognise that.' On a personal note, Mr Dutton said he told Mr Albanese that 'his mum would be incredibly proud of his achievement tonight, and he should be very proud of what he's achieved'. Of the woman who ousted him after 24 years, he said Ms France 'will do a good job as like as a local member'. 'She lost her son, Henry, which is a tragic circumstance that no parent should ever go through,' Mr Dutton said. 'And equally, I said to to Ali that her son Henry would be incredibly proud of her tonight, and she'll do a good job as a local member for Dickson, and I wish her all the very best.' Labor pays tribute Senior Labor MPs have paid tribute to their longtime parliamentary rival. Speaking to Nine's election panel, Chris Bowen stressed that everyone on the ballot were 'human beings'. 'I agree with about one per cent of what Peter Dutton thinks, but he has served his country for 25 years, and he has sacrificed time away from his family,' the Climate Change Minister said. 'He's been up early in the morning, travelling around Australia as defence minister and a range of portfolios.' Mr Bowen said it was 'a very tough night' for Mr Dutton. 'He went in today … a little while ago maybe thinking he'd end up as prime minister,' he said. 'On a personal level, whenever I've interacted with him, you know, on aeroplanes or in parliament corridors, he's been entirely civil, polite, appropriate, a decent human being. 'My thoughts are with him and his family.' Katy Gallagher struck a similar tone, telling the same panel she did not 'take any pleasure in seeing the individual losses'. 'I mean, obviously, we've campaigned for a Labor victory, and so tonight we're pleased with the result,' the Finance Minister said. 'But, you know, in a strange way and probably Australia's strangest workplace, we are all colleagues. 'We share time together. We work together on things. So yeah, I think it's very, very difficult for those that lose their seats.'
