In a surprising turn of events, Sussan Ley, the leader of the Liberal Party, finds herself trailing behind a politician infamous for his blunders. This individual has been involved in a range of notorious activities, such as spear tackling a 7-year-old, creating the RoboDebt scheme, and taking an ill-timed vacation in Hawaii during Australia's bushfires.
The list of questionable actions continues with incidents like asking his wife why rape was wrong and making a mess at a popular fast-food chain. Despite such a colorful history, this politician maintains higher approval ratings than Ley, leaving her in disbelief.
The saga highlights the unpredictable nature of public opinion, where even the most scandalous figures can overshadow others in popularity. Perhaps it’s an indication that in politics, any publicity is good publicity.
