  • Summary

  • As Peter Dutton conceded his 24-year hold on the Brisbane seat of Dickson, he said the Liberal Party will “rebuild”.

    The party’s soul-searching has begun, as it looks to select a new leader and consider its future direction.

    But a return to the Liberal Party’s traditional values is complicated by Peter Dutton having led the party further to the right and the election having diminished much of its moderate wing.

    Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Barlow, on what’s next for the Liberal Party.
