Andrew Bolt seemed completely resigned, without any expression on his face.
By 9:46 PM, right-wing commentators were already discussing the outcome in the Herald Sun, criticizing Australian voters for the coalition’s defeat.
“No, voters aren’t always right; this time, they were mistaken,” Bolt stated.
Why did they lose? According to him, the Liberal Party “shied away from fighting the ‘culture war.'”
An hour earlier, as he appeared on Sky News Australia, he had, it seemed, accepted that it was the end for a leader often referred to as the Scary Man, showing no signs of sentimentality about the defeat.
Peter Dutton was decisively outperformed by Anthony Albanese, he noted, mostly because “everyone thinks the Prime Minister seems like a nice, easygoing guy” compared to Dutton.
But that wasn’t the end of Bolt’s critique of Labor leaders. He claimed the government could have retained power, arguing it “left Australians poorer, more divided, and more uncertain.”
“Well, that’s simply because Anthony Albanese didn’t come off as threatening,” he added.
“If Peter Dutton loses in Dixon, they’ll face a leadership crisis, as no one will be able to claim, ‘That person is the leader.’
As Dutton delivered his polished concession speech at 9:39 PM, Sky News had already labeled the election a “blood bath,” amidst heated discussions among analysts and political guests.
Like Bolt, Andrew Crennell, Sky’s Political Editor, reinforced the idea of his leader’s loss. “People just don’t like Peter Dutton,” he remarked bluntly after recounting his own experiences on the campaign trail. “That’s just one of those unfortunate realities.”
For Chris Uhlmann, a former political editor at ABC and Nine, who has embraced his conservative side on Sky News, the coalition’s drop to a 30% vote was “terrifying,” indicating the party is in an “existential crisis.”
“Where will this party head now?” he questioned. “It seems to be tearing itself apart while trying to figure out how to clearly appeal to enough Australians to form a government in the future.”
However, Shadow Minister Sarah Henderson remained optimistic, despite acknowledging the challenges. “It’s quite tough, no doubt about it… but there are some promising signs. I want to keep a positive mindset, and I believe in Solomon, Northern Territory, liberal Lisa Bayliss seems to be making a strong appearance.”
While many expressed shock at the scale of the defeat, Crennell indicated that the election results weren’t entirely unexpected for senior liberals, as Sky producers struggled to manage the situation that night.
“I just want to emphasize how significant this is,” Crennell remarked. Though there’s potential for the pre-election polls to bounce back, the question lingered: is Arbo gunning for a major win?
“There’s no doubt Albanese is boosting his majority, not just maintaining it.”
Sky election analyst Tom Connell declared by 8 PM, “This race is effectively over. Albanese will be the next Prime Minister of Australia.”
After Shari Markson, a prominent host stationed at Union headquarters, spent much of the night grappling with the election results in a bid for redemption.
It was Markson, though, who had previously argued that the national polls were misleading and suggested optimistic outcomes for private coalition votes. “The polls you’re seeing in the media don’t truly reflect what’s happening in this federal election.”
Peta Credlin, former Chief of Staff to Tony Abbott, criticized the depiction of Dutton as a “devil,” arguing he was a decent individual. Yet, she became animated when the discussion turned to the need for more culture wars. “We’re not pushing enough on those fronts,” Credlin insisted.
She also urged the Liberal Party to make a straightforward statement concerning the rights of biological women.
“Gentlemen, if you’ll forgive my bluntness, I’m tired of how my concerns about women’s rights are portrayed. We genuinely care about these issues.”
Graham Richardson, a former Labor Minister known for his sharp remarks, questioned the path forward for the Liberal Party.
“We tried Dutton—what’s next? If Angus Taylor is the answer, that’s a rather foolish question.”
