This by election has been touted for months as a litmus test on voter reaction to the bungled bushfire crisis. I think most people ( including me ) agree it got away from the LNP badly and their reactions where too little, too late.
The important positive thing to come out of it was that the government learned from those mistakes and have been world leaders in handling the CORONA virus crisis. I suspect while voters may not have entirely forgiven the LNP for the bushfires mess, most thinking voters at least respect the fact that they learned some hard lessons and did much better next time they where tested.
Voters crave stability and a government with experience, even if that experience is gained by making obvious mistakes.
