I can.
Dutton moved consistently left throughout the campaign. Whenever there were opportunities to go on the attack or take a stand - to display courage - he chose not to.
For example the UK supreme court offered their decision on women/gender and Dutton was asked for comment - he declined. EASY points.
He shied away from other simple wins - eg backing a young liberal candidate who suggested that women not serve in front-line combat roles (I think this came up recently in the UK as well, no?)
The LNP also allowed Labor (ALP) to outflank them to the right on tax policy, energy and the economy. Bonkers.
During pre-polling (early voting), I was talking to one of his paid staffers at a booth (I was volunteering for a minor right-wing party) and they had several platform issues that their internal polling showed was 80-20 but they chose not to run on them. He couldn't understand it either.
For example: Mass immigration, just like the UK and everywhere else, most Australians are opposed. Massive housing crisis here driven entirely by immigration. Dutton wouldn't touch it.
Another example was lack of English fluency for migrants (and the ALP promising billions to teach non-English languages to the children and grandchildren of immigrants to keep them from integrating) which blew up in the form of election signage in several seats not being posted in English (pictured).
The list goes on, but long-story-short, the LNP adopted "median voter theory" years ago and have determined to position themselves to the left of the median voter hoping to win parliament as a result. But we're sick of it.
