By Jacob Greber, ABC NewsAnalysis: Australia has fired Peter Dutton into the sun, taking much of the Liberal Party and its future with him. Standing in the vapour wake stood a euphoric and unimpeded Anthony Albanese, whose campaign was as devastating, driven and determined as Dutton's was dreadful, deluded and doomed.
