Over the weekend, the Liberal National Party had its arse handed to it in Queensland’s state election. Now, it’s looking like the fallout from the Sunshine State might reach Canberra.

If you didn’t spend the weekend glued to the Queensland polls, here’s a quick recap. Labor won the election, with Annastacia Palaszczuk likely to return as Premier. It’s not clear yet whether they’ll manage to secure a majority, but it’s very clear that the Libs didn’t even come close. This was possibly due to the party’s association with One Nation — in more than half the electorates, the LNP preferenced One Nation above Labor, only for Hanson’s party to absolutely tank.

So, what does that mean for federal politics? Malcolm Turnbull reckons nothing at all, saying the Queensland election was “fought overwhelmingly on state issues”, but it seems that more than a few members of his own party disagree. The Queensland result is revealing some of the cracks inside the Coalition — a government already weakened by the dual citizenship fiasco — and friends, it’s looking pretty shaky.

Here’s the fallout so far.

George Christensen Apologises to One Nation Voters, Blames Own Party

One of the first people to start pointing fingers at the federal government was, in fact, a member of the federal government.

Nationals MP George Christensen took to Twitter on Sunday morning, as the dust had scarcely settled, to apologise to One Nation voters on behalf of the LNP, and then to blame Malcolm Turnbull and his government’s “leadership & policy direction”. In other words, he sledged his own party in order to appease the voters of another party that still tanked? Australian politics: who even understands it anymore.

To Qlders who voted One Nation, I'm sorry we in the LNP let you down. We need to listen more, work harder, stand up more for conservative values & regional Qld & do better to win your trust & vote. A lot of that rests with the Turnbull govt, it's leadership & policy direction. pic.twitter.com/0vCREdd7mn

On ABC AM this morning, Liberal MP Warren Entsch responded to Christensen’s comments, saying that “to suggest one way or another that it’s all to do with federal government – the first thing he has to realise is … George, you are actually a part of the Turnbull government.”

Yep, that’s where we’re at. Members of the federal government sledging leaders of the federal government for tanking in a state election, then other members of the federal government sledging their own colleagues.

Lots of drama, all of it in public. Sounds like a healthy and functional government.

Tony Abbott Also Blames “Federal Issues”

Tony Abbott also jumped at the chance to stir shit, saying “you can’t rule out background influences” from federal politics having an impact on the Queensland election.

Abbott’s comments are maybe a little less remarkable given that he takes most opportunities to undermine Malcolm Turnbull and/or try to remain relevant, but still, add him to the list.

Conservative Commentators Have Started Calling For a Leadership Spill

You’d think we’d have had enough leadership spills in this country’s recent history, but it seems people are still pretty keen on more government chaos.

Andrew Bolt’s column yesterday opened with the Queensland election’s “one screaming message to the federal Liberals: sack Malcolm Turnbull or you’ll lose, too.” Bolt then went on to explain that he reckons the LNP’s only hope at the federal level is to strike a meaningful deal with One Nation, including replacing Turnbull with a more conservative leader that One Nation will actually get behind.

Over in the Herald Sun, Rita Panahi took a similar stance, criticising Malcolm Turnbull’s weakness and lack of appeal to conservative voters, and urging the party to replace him if they want to survive.

Basically, while conservatives disagree on whether the problem was the LNP moving too close to One Nation, not close enough to One Nation, or something else entirely, they’re starting to agree on one thing: Malcolm Turnbull is somehow to blame, and needs to go.

It’s too soon (and too messy) to make a call on what will happen next, but it’s looking likely that the fallout from the Queensland election will dog Turnbull for a little while yet. Add the citizenship drama, postal survey bickering, and everything else going on in politics right now, and who knows — we may just see some big changes in Canberra some time soon.
