After the worst election defeat in its history, the Coalition needs to “soul search” for a leader to take the party in a new direction. Whoever takes the reins will inherit what could be the smallest party room in modern history and the enormous task of rebuilding after what insiders are calling a “bloodbath”.

Peter Dutton has gone quiet in the wake of the defeat, remaining in hibernation on Sunday after becoming the first Opposition Leader in Australian history to lose his seat at an election. After previously holding 56 seats, the Coalition is now on track to slump into the low 40s, with only 37 confirmed as of Sunday afternoon. Mr Dutton had gone to ground as the magnitude of the loss sent shockwaves through the party.

Peter Dutton has led the Liberal Party to an historical, diabolical defeat, losing the Federal election and his own seat of Dickson in Queensland. That makes him the first Federal Opposition leader to lose their seat.
