To further answer the question from the listener on this week's #thepartyroom, I hear some people, like @tonyburkemp.bsky.social get multiple portfolios because they just really really want to have the Arts portfolio and will only do Home Affairs if they get to keep Arts. #auspol
@patskarvelas.bsky.social Hi PK, do you think the dumping of Mark Dreyfus as AG is in anyway related to his personal opposition to the mandatory minimums in the Hate Crime Bill that was pushed through earlier this year? Did that cause a bigger argument than we were led to believe? #ThePartyRoom
PK and Fran said on #thepartyroom that this election has become a referendum on Dutton and Albo as leaders. If I were Labor I'd be so annoyed. Despite their many faults, Labor have presented a solid policy platform. LNP have barely shown up, let alone presented policies. #auspol
Fizzer or not, with a Sky handpicked audience, Albo was able to win. That’s how rubbish Dutton and the #LNP are. #AusPol. Maybe less deflecting #ThePartyRoom
PK says on #ThePartyRoom that she has intel that the Leader's debate was "such a fizzer" that it hasn't entered the minds of voters at all. Could it maybe be that the debate was so inaccessible to Australians due to a paywall on the content by SkyNews that nobody therefore watched it? #auspol
I was surprised to hear Fran Kelly on #ThePartyRoom say she was unaware of just how marginal Peter Dutton's seat of Dickson is. Given the absolute chaos of Cyclone Alfred and Dutton leaving his electorate I cannot believe anyone who follows #auspol is unaware of that.
This week's #ThePartyRoom was very good imo. My only critique was that more could have been said about the legislation passed in kneejerk to the fake terrorism/caravan story. Well done Fran and PK. #auspol
Had a great day at #mardigrasfairday in #sydney today. In an oppressive prevailing environment, it was wonderful to be surrounded by a wonderfully welcoming, friendly and supportive environment. And LOTS OF DOGS!! :) Always good to catch the recording of #thepartyroom podcast.
…and @abcnews #RadioNational featured Coorey with Pat Karvelas & Fran Kelly on their now Nationally broadcast Podcast #ThePartyRoom and it was pathetic to listen to them.
New #ThePartyRoom episode is here
Dissatisfaction with the direction of the country is at the same level as it was just before the Morrison government lost the election. So, what will this actually mean as Australians cast their ballot?

Find it absolutely on brand that one of the top stories this week was how ridiculous Dutton's nuclear policy is, but The Party Room still decides to run a discussion about how bad things are for Labor right now. Just non-stop throating the LNP boot. #thepartyroom #abcpolitics #abcnews #patkarvelas
