I can vouch for this. Misogyny and misandry are everywhere. The bloody shit you hear sometimes.

Yep totally scratching my head, Dutton has the party spooked IMO, any significant reform progress etc is being kicked down the road in Fear of media blowback and a scare campaign. Paul Keating should be coming out and smashing these guys, he doesn't give a shit about what the media think and never did when PM, he's the guy that they should be using as an adviser but because he has upset them regarding AUKUS ( which he isn't wrong about btw) he's irrelevant to them. The Libs are using Howard when it suits the agenda I find it bizarre Albo isn't doing the same.

Young men are drifting to Dutton. Will their mothers vote with them?
When young women supported the teals at the last federal election, some of their former Liberal-voting fathers swung behind them. Might mothers follow their sons’ lead this time?

Umm...
Fathers swung behind the teals because they were presented with candidates that probably reminded them of their own daughters.
I doubt mother's are looking at Dutton the same way.

No, I think the article is making a case that fathers swung behind the teals because they were presented with candidates that might represent their daughters on issues that were concerns for their daughters.
Let me be quite clear, I loathe Dutton and I hope the electorate gives him a giant boot in the arse.
But his whole thrust isn’t about his (LOL) personal appeal.
It’s about him promising to do the things that some demographics might respond to.
IF young men are feeling disenfranchised (and I’m not going to go into the arguments about why they are), and if their mothers are sympathetic to their lament, those mothers might perceive Dutton is the man to do something about it.

And let’s never forget, for all his admirable head-kicking qualities he was the one who rolled over and greenlighted Turdoch’s purchase of the Herald and Weekly Times, which many would argue was the catalyst for Pruneface’s malign now-dominance of the Australian media.

But there’s no denying it snowballed in ‘22.
If my son were a politician who acted like Dutton, I'd disown him.

Well we’ve avoided a recession up until now and there are now more jobs than before the last election,
Maybe we should have done what other countries did and gutted spending and cut jobs?

2025 will be choice between policies. If Dutton fails to give more detail, assume it’s more of the Morrison Turnbull Abbott govt.
Many think there’s not much different, so you choose the more competent. Thay choice is clear, but it won’t change your life much.
I’m sure you understand pd election choices

Here in Victoria the news is awash with stories about violence against women in the wake of the Samantha Murphy anniversary. I get that Dutton courting the young male vote based on a gut feeling of a few being hard done by may seem tempting for him, but there are literally women scared to go for a run in the morning because there is a certain cohort of men feeling emboldened to treat women with disrespect.
Politically, Albanese needs to hold his line on promoting policies that lift women up (cheaper childcare, super on parental leave, $2.3b on safety programs) while also putting more effort into building community connections to reduce loneliness. I'm personally nor opposed to some kind of 'national service' type programme where teens and young adults need to complete 30 hours of community service..doesn't even need to be onerous, could just be playing for your local bowls club, just get people out and about.
Albanese has plenty of angles to attack Dutton and I'd expect that to ramp up in two weeks time. Take immigration, how can you be seen as tough on borders when you are willing to let organised criminals literally buy their way in?

Totally agree on competency, look at the two opposing frontbenches and the experience and professionalism of one over the other is stark.

This first para should be the biggest discussion about safety. he truth being that it's not strangers around corners, but partners and ex-partners who should put the most fear into women.
But people like Dutton promote the fear of immigrants (taking their cues from the US). If Albanese reacted as strongly against men murdering their partners as he did about racists graffitiing synagogues, he'd be able to head-off a lot of the LNP fear-mongering.
We have a federal task for for graffiti and fires which have caused almost no injuries, but for spousal murder which kills hundreds a year, we've got nothing. he priorities of this Govt (and the LNP) couldn't be more stupid if they tried.
Dutton's approval isn't going to matter. People are going to vote out Albanese for being useless. If it continues the trend to independents and minor parties, that'll be a good thing.
Or Albo could decide to lead instead of just doing what he thinks Murdoch wants him to do.
The Murdoch media aren't huge talking about domestic violence. Their readers have had their heads in the sand about it for decades, it makes them uncomfortable to read, so they don't print it, unless it's a scandalous unsolved crime.

IMO whoever comes out with the strongest economic policies will win this election. Everything else is a nice to have is how i see it playing out.
We live in one of the highest taxed countries on planet earth and our cost of living is only going up and standard of living going down.
If Albo doesn't come up with some good news soon, he is cooked regardless of what else he does. ERGO why the want rates down ASAP.
