PM Albo, The Teal Bath & What Happens to Election Losers?

  • Summary

  • After weeks of campaigning, the voting is over, but as the winners prepare to take up their new roles in Parliament, perhaps you're thinking we should spare a thought for the losers... and what actually happens to them anyway?

    The Quicky speaks to three experts in Australian politics to find out what it means to lose an election (and your job), whether you're the Prime Minister of Australia, party leader,  a backbencher, or a bureaucrat who was never known to the public anyway.
