@Bananabender1; when you drill down hard on where the LNP is headed under Dutton and Littleproud this is what you see:
1. Dutton has NO presence in states outside of Queensland [perhaps that the LNP's core strategy ... hide him from voters]. 2. Dutton's satisfaction rating continues to grind along at low levels [well below even Albanese's unremarkable satisfaction ratings] - essentially he appeals to far right wing Queenslanders, those attracted by his affection for white South Africans, his unequivocal support for Netanyahu's genocidal regime and those 'businesses' demanding enduring poor working conditions and low wages. 3. Queensland will NOT decide the next election - Federal Labor already holds hardly any seats there and has nothing to lose. It's becoming Australia's military base - state / US outpost as it transitions away from tourism linked to the once GBR to its current reputation for environmental vandalism. 4. After two years of opportunity to fix nine years of policy failure the LNP still has NO significant futures-oriented policies to market to voters. 5. "NO!" is not a policy and though it did get Tony Abbott over the line Dutton is inept at marketing destructive negativity - even Murdoch Mouthpieces are proving ineffective at projecting him as a viable alternative PM. 6. Despite the misinformation / disinformation / propaganda campaign still coming from Murdoch Mouthpieces, voters have not yet forgotten just how dreadful the $Greed-$Feeding, grossly inept and highly irresponsible LNP was from September 2013 to May 2022.
