About this episode
Labor won the Dunkley byelection last weekend, but the Liberal Party spent most of the week claiming the result was a win for them as well.
But even while the Liberal Party was claiming a groundswell in support, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton disappeared from public view. When Dutton emerged, he announced a reshuffle of his front bench.
So, what was going on inside the Liberal Party? What message did voters send them? And is the party learning the right lessons?
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on the divisions appearing inside the Liberal Party.
