Back in Dickson, Rick - a retiree and fresh Liberal Party member - said on election night that he also felt confusion played a role in the party's defeat, particularly among young people."I think people couldn't understand Dutton's policies," he said.

But 30-year-old April, who didn't provide her last name, says it is Dutton who didn't understand.She can't remember a time when he wasn't in power in Dickson, and feels that over time he has lost touch with his own constituents and the country more broadly.For her, the last straw was his instrumental role in the defeat of the Voice to Parliament referendum, which sought to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the constitution and simultaneously establish a parliamentary advisory body for them.

"I think he has caused a lot of harm to a lot of minority groups across the scale," she says.For others in the electorate though, the last straw was watching Dutton fly to a fundraiser in Sydney as the area in and around Dickson was hit by Cyclone Alfred in February.

April didn't feel like Labor Party's offering was strong either, especially on climate action, so she decided to campaign for Ellie Smith, the so-called 'teal' independent running in the seat.

Disappointment - borderline embarrassment - that Dutton was from her local area had crystallised into determination: "I felt like it was a duty in a way… our responsibility to get him out."They became extinct 66 million years ago, along with other non-avian dinosaurs.

Kregar says the spirited debate around the sculpture means Boom Boom could eventually win round "the haters"."You put the sculpture out there, there is reaction, people start falling in love with it, and then it becomes something that they start embracing, part of the local identity," he said.

Kim Gillies, secretary of the Taupō Sculpture Trust, told the BBC that the decision to commission Boom Boom was not taken "lightly", but that it was chosen because "it would help put Taupō on the map".Gillies added that when it comes to the art, "safe is a bit boring, right?"
