Paul Bongiorno: Nuclear power and Liberal response to Dunkley – two things that don’t add up

Paul Bongiorno makes a number of excellent points in this article.
- Dutton’s toxic image, negativity, and total lack of policies is no help to the LNP.
- Opinions expressed by Sussan Ley bear little relation to reality.
- Nuclear power is not a viable option anywhere in the world due to cheap and plentiful renewables, and this especially the case in Australia due to not having nuclear power experts or industrial capability (nuclear medicine yes, nuclear power no).
- Former Liberal staffer, Niki Savva says trying to turn around Saturday’s defeat "as some kind of victory, shows a level of denial and delusion that does not serve them well". And: "You will never win an election with denial and delusion. They have to change".

It's going to be interesting to see if Jodie Belyea can hold the seat for the Labor Party. Albo and Julia Gillard put in a showing on the local scene to help their candidate.
Liberal Party candidate, Nathan Conroy, has experience as mayor of the City of Frankston, so his profile may help him. Peter Dutton was absent from the campaign yesterday, and I think it's because his own party told him to piss-off because he's toxic.
Sounding like the swings are a lot smaller in the other parts of the electorate
Looking forward to seeing something out of Frankston
Green vote is down a chunk but the Vic Socialists are running
Richard Marles is an idiot. Speers questions are stupid and don't deserve an answer other than
Let's see what the results are before we worry about doing an analysis of what they mean
