What would a Dutton Liberal leadership mean for the Liberals and the country?

[nut]

Obviously he’ll accept violent dual Australian Citizens being imported back into Australia from other countries?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I have a theory:

Dutton knows he's going to lose his seat - and that half his cabinet hate him. As a final fu to the LNP he's decided to come up with the most ridiculous thought bubbles imaginable - because sorting out a policy platform is just too much hard work for a man who won't be around in the next parliament anyways.

I can believe anything.

Your lips to fates ear.
The world will be a better place without this venal, duplicitous man in politics.

Indeed, just think what Andrew and Angus, Michaelia and Sussan, might achieve without the Dutton shackles.

PS just realised that Cash also has a dumb spelling of her name. Another numerologist?

Is he kite flying hoping for a hook?

 

[Demonic Ascent]

I mean, I am totally against any form of bigotry.

I believe the Holocaust was the greatest crime against humanity that the world has ever seen.

But to relentlessly suggest that anti-semitism is among the biggest problems that we face in Australia right now just makes me very suspicious I'm being gaslighted by Dutton.

I agree, it is just politicising/virtue signalling to the Jewish community.

The problem with this "antisemitism" crackdown is when they start equating condemnation of the Israeli state and it's actions with bigoted actions towards Jewish people.

Any form of bigotry/racism etc is deplorable, there is no need to single out hate speech towards one particular group of people as any worse than another.

Susan is pretty much just somehow a shitter version of Liz Truss.

She should be far away from any office outside drinking Chardonnay l.

This is the really gaslighty part.

Well, I guess the "a" is pretty much silent anyway.

The mask is off: Dutton's Liberals are no party of liberalism

In a decade, the Liberals have gone from supporting the rights of bigots to wanting to deport them. What happened? It's not just Dutton.

"The Prime Minister is not mature enough"

How many times do they (Dutton and his cronies) throw around these derogatory statements? Does it happen as much from the ALP side? I feel like every time I hear an audio grab from Dutton, Ley, Hume et al they always throw in these little barbs. It's complete projection.

It's getting very tiring. Dutton holding all his policy revelations until the election is announced and the ones he has talked about have done him no favours.

It's the 2025 version of Abbott's "grown up government" in which we're expected to forget the Coalition's last three terms in government.

Honestly this reactionary shit is a waste of community energy.

So much progress to progress

So many problems to fix

Tehan must be sh1tting himself in Wannon. I'm in Ballarat, but we get all the Alex Dyson/Independent ads. In the last week or so, Lib ads have gone into over-drive trying to tie Dyson to ALP and Greens. The opposing ads literally follow each other on FTA channels.
The Lib anti-Dyson ones (no actual talking up of Tehan) just smacks of desperation.

a cathy mcgowan upset? lets hope so

on tehan - credible media would (if it exists out your way) hammer tehan over his parties stance on nuclear energy - and his own stead-fast insistence his electorate will never have a nuclear plant ...... EVER

effing hypocrite

Excellent work by Labor

PBS medication to cost no more than $25 under Labor re-election pitch

As US big pharma comes for Australia's PBS, Labor is promising even cheaper medicines.

www.abc.net.au

Previously reduced max fee from $41 to $30 per month
Listing more medications on the PBS
60 day dispensing to get 2 months for the price of 1

And now, reducing the max fee to $25.

Right after the Pharma companies demanded Trump tariff Australia for the PBS. Love it.

I think Dutton said he’d match.

Strategy seems to be only match every labor cost of living policy, but go hard on sniping and culture wars.

It’s a million miles away from the slogan ‘let’s get back on track’


It’s really code for ‘if we get elected, we’ll roll out our real agenda wink wink’

Has been wedged very well by Labor.

Agreed.

And the more he promotes Trump/ Trump policies, the easier it is to call BS on him matching Labor, especially with health.

To believe that Dutton will match this is to also believe he's that had some sort of Damascene conversion to the benefits of Medicare.
