There was a definite trump effect, just not as bigly as it was in Canada.

The conservative leader did nominate a a grossly unqualified “efficiency” minister who claimed she would “make Australia great again”.

Shouldn’t have bought any subs at all, but sure.

That shit mostly doesn’t fly here. Parachute candidates traditionally do very poorly. We have preferential voting and about a 3rd of primary votes go to minor parties, and independents. Protest votes are a big problem for the majors to deal with.
