"To me it still sounds fresh, vibrant and immediate and a worthwhile social commentary," he said,
"You have to acknowledge things went wrong," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Insiders program."We have to listen to Australians. They have sent us a message, and our first task is to hear it. And that often takes time."
Wolahan represents the seat of Menzies in Victoria, and said it was very likely he would also lose his seat.When asked if Peter Dutton himself was the problem, Wolahan declined to answer directly, but said he has great respect for the Liberal leader.Some were more blunt, like Andrew Carswell, a former adviser to Australia's last Liberal prime minister, who told the ABC "the Dutton experiment failed".
He went on to describe Saturday's loss as "a complete catastrophe for the Coalition", which he said showed that Australians had "clear hesitation with Peter Dutton".The looming presence of Donald Trump has also been cited as a major factor for thwarting Dutton's already inconsistent campaign, with many people drawing parallels between him and the American president.
Dutton's loss has now set in motion the scramble for a new Liberal party leader.
Carswell was hopeful about the prospect of some "very good up-and-coming Liberal MPs" stepping into leadership roles.A few seconds earlier, Ukrainian artillery strikes Russian positions, places where we'd seen Russian soldiers moving about as they try to advance towards a key road going into Pokrovsk.
At least one Russian soldier is injured, possibly dead after the strike.It's chilling to watch the live footage. It drives home the bloody consequences of the war that Russia started, in which hundreds of thousands have so far been killed, a "never-ending bloodbath" as US President Donald Trump calls it.
We are in a rural house converted into a command centre for the 155th mechanised brigade of the Ukrainian army. It's a few miles from front-line artillery positions.The scale of the devastation that we see on the screens, homes and buildings completely flattened, is far greater than what we saw six months ago.
