So lets run the odds on:

i. Malcolm suggests Barnaby steps down; Barnaby says no, nothing happens until the 2PP drops 2+ points and then the coalition eats itself;
ii. Nats party room asks Barnaby to step down: says no; Barnaby is Spilled; Malc flicks him to the back bench to become Abbott Lite;
iii. Malcolm/Lib Party room tries to push Barnaby out; Nats object; Coalition - Civil War
iv. Malcolm and Barnaby pretend everything is fine while both party rooms belligerently leak against Joyce until the 2PP drops another 2+ points and the coalition eats itself
v. Barnaby resigns of his own accord/with minimal convincing and fades away
vi. Barnaby gets a diplo posting and accepts despite being the last person you would ever pick for a diplomatic role.

Definitely re-elected in his home electorate. He'll still have a job one way or another regardless of Trumpbull's fate for him.

He might lose leadership of the nationals but I can't see him getting kicked out or needing to become an indie.

The nationals will justify it along the lines of "well we didn't catch him sexually interfering with a sheep so it's ok".

More specifically I think they're referring to the 'burn down australia' thing from an invasion day protester.

Before everyone starts freaking out isn't there a few days lag on these polls so you need to wait a week or so until you see events like this influence them? Even so I think the 2PP vote is pretty much at its floor for the Coalition.

Hahahaha

Most of the fuckups to date have been owned by the Libs, using the WA election result as a national litmus, I don't think the Nats have been bleeding quite as hard.

This might be the thing that starts that shift though. I think the lib primary vote could really take a hit from this too, if Trumble does his usual bumbling ingenuous deflection act. Which he probably will.

Yeah isn't Essential a fornightly rolling poll or something?

54-46 corresponds to a loving landslide too, with the Coalition losing 30+ seats.

An indigenous Australian said 'burn it down' which caused hand-wringing in the media, so there's that. Not sure of any indigenous Australians cussing which hasn't lead to a jail sentence.

Christensen is 10 years younger and in theory, could lose weight. He's way more of a catch then Barny.
