It's a mystery why Scotty From Marketing didn't resign from politics on the evening or the morning after he lost the 2022 Federal election. Some have speculated that he hung around like a bad smell to piss-off Peter Dutton (I have to admit, I'd give the idea serious consideration), or that he would attempt a comeback spill. I think the reality is that he wanted to maintain his political profile internationally and keep collecting Parliamentary perks while trying to line-up a new job in corporate life. But, this never eventuated. It's traditional for ex-politicians, especially ex-LNP-politicians to benefit from nepotism and be handed positions on one or more company boards. But, Scotty has no friends.
