The Liberals' Post-Election Complete Rebuild

A mock Ikea instruction manual shows Peter Dutton crossed out, with a man and a woman building a chair. The instructions have names in the style of Ikea furniture names. The final panel shows 'Kooyong' out of stock, and 'Goldstein' in stock.

This is one of two very clever re-creations of IKEA instruction booklets in this year’s Behind the Lines. The challenge of rebuilding the Liberal Party after the election could be remarkably simple - or very difficult - depending on your personal view of whether it is easy or hard to follow IKEA construction manuals.
