By the end of tomorrow, Australia may have a potato for prime minister, and precisely no one is okay.

After contesting Malcolm Turnbull in a failed leadership challenge on Tuesday, Minister for Home Affairs, Immigration and Border Protection,

Lord Voldemort

Peter Dutton announced on Wednesday he would be challenging Turnbullagain.

Then, on Thursday morning, key cabinet ministers Mathias Cormann, Mitch Fifield and Michaelia Cash said they will back Dutton in a leadership spill.

While Australians rummage through their belongings, locate their passports, and pack up their homes in preparation for their mass exodus to New Zealand, they’ve also shared their thoughts on Twitter about WTF just went down in parliament.

“Dutton to soften his image before challenging again.”

That’s weird, I thought the election was due before the next millennium ends? #libspill3 #auspol pic.twitter.com/9vn21nuZPL

The Liberals only think Peter Dutton is the best person to lead it to the next election because they don’t have this star candidate… #libspill3 pic.twitter.com/wgUWJc8W1a

Do you think Peter Dutton unzips his skin at night before laying down in his nest, or is it more a natural shedding that occurs when there’s a full moon? #auspol

I propose we dissolve our current system of government in favour of the then-caricature-but-now-actually-more-sensible portrayal of our nation suggested by the prescient American animated comedy, The Simpsons. #libspill3 pic.twitter.com/C56Atu1UUw

So, just to recap:

– We do not have a Prime Minister right now.

– We do not have a functioning government.

– And they want to shut down Parliament for 2 weeks. #auspol #Libspill3 pic.twitter.com/NJW4hAdBdT
