Peter Dutton, Leader of the Opposition from the Hard Right wing of the Australian Liberal Party lost the federal election (current count is 41 seats to 81) and his own seat in Parliament 57%-43%.

He is the first leader of the opposition to ever lose their own seat.

Can't believe the interview with his wife saying he was no monster didn't resonate more with voters.

dead-eyed freak, good riddance. Labor also sucks hard but this guy is especially loathsome.

Also he apparently held that seat for 24 years, so I'll just say I'm glad I don't live around those people. Gross.
