Introduction

After Saturday’s election result, the Coalition have begun a post-mortem on what went wrong as incoming Liberal leader Peter Dutton vows the party won’t become ‘Labor-lite’. 

And, in his first week as Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese has wasted no time in sending signals about the kind of government he intends to lead.

But as votes are still being counted in an election that has reshaped the political map. What do the results mean for the future of Australian politics? What will the greatest challenges for the new parliament be? And where will the battle lines be drawn?

Today, to analyse all the latest events, we’re joined by chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Middleton, election analyst from The Tally Room, Ben Raue and columnist for The Saturday Paper, Paul Bongiorno.
