Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said the victory was because people were "fed up" with increasing cost of living pressures.

I hardly think a safe Coalition seat remaining with the LNP is evidence of much of anything, Dutton.

Cost of living pressures that are the fault of a worldwide pandemic, a war on the other side of the world, neoliberal policies, and policies that the LNP brought in and actively fought against reforming (capital gains reforms, inheritance tax, degradation of Medicare, etc)

Get fucked Voldemort.
