Tony Abbott and Peter Dutton really ought to lose their seats in the next election. Everyone expects the Liberal party to have a conservative faction, but those two are full blown reactionaries.

Never has there been an existential threat as great to the Liberal party than when either of those two have been in positions of power within it.
