MPs and insiders were left dismayed at how poorly the party performed after internal numbers set an expectation they would go forward, not backward, losing at least 13 seats and potentially up to 19. The Liberals were routed across metropolitan areas, with Peter Dutton becoming the first opposition leader to lose his seat.
