it has been a sombre night for the ousted prime minister, scott morrison. going into the election, all signs indicated that the incumbent was in trouble. mr morrisson�*s tenure has been dominated by national disasters, covid and scandals. i have always believed i in australians and they're judgment and tonight they have delivered their verdict. - —— their. independents have also done well in the election. amid public dissatisfaction with the major parties. albanese may have to rely on them. the people have listened, now it is up to the politicians. the rising cost—of—living and climate change have dominated the election as two key issues for voters. this is a country that is anxious and divided. its new leader has vowed that his will be a government of optimism and unity. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are the political commentatorjo phillips and the politial editor of the people & the sunday mirror, nigel

what does that say about mr morrison's legacy, and what we know about peter dutton who is now in charge? yes, peter dutton is a former defence minister, home affairs minister, also confesses for the former liberal leadership back when former prime minister malcolm turnbull was ousted from that role. he is a bit of a polarising figure in australian politics. he is from the right of the liberal party, known to be quite hardline. and certainly when he ascended to leadership yesterday, a lot of the comments he has said in the past really came back to him. one that he has since expressed regret about is walking out of the apology to the stolen generation back in 2007, so he has a history of comments that are seen as quite polarising. it has been seen by some and at the liberal party, it is a bit of a curious choice to put peter dutton as a leader, given that he is somebody who represents the right of the party, and looking at the results, of the electorates, they lost so many votes in the moderate — progressive parts of the country. moderate - progressive parts of the country-— the count
