    There was a podcast episode, I think from Democracy Sausage, that talked about how historically referendum no campaigning parties actually do poorly in the subsequent general election since they lean in to absolutely insane arguments during the campaign, which gets them the referendum win, but the loss in the general election. I hope that happens here.

      Interesting! I had seen similar discussion about Dutton specifically, where the teal seat results in the referendum are an obvious indicator.
