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

[Gavin Excell]

Dutton's nuclear policy is becoming as farcical as Donald Trump's healthcare plan, details to come in a fortnight in perpetuity.

It's a suicide note
Despite the backing of Murdoch I can't see how he can win now

 

[Festerz]

It is actually embarrassing how petulant these politicians are. My favourite is still Trump muscling everyone out the way at NATO - what a knob.

Quite a little knob apparently. Of button mushroom proportions according to an eyewitness. Sorry for the deviation.

Anyway the idiot stalker with the mobile phone masquerading as a Murdoch journalist must be proud of his efforts today.

Say what you will about the divisive politics of Peter Costello and you will get no argument from me.

But are we really going to cheer the take down by someone stalking airport arrival halls with an iphone hoping for a confrontation?

No, but that does not excuse Costello for being a complete twat.

I think they were banking on finding electorates with LNP MPs who would be happy to have a nuclear power plant, and they've all said no. They thought it would be each other putting their hands up, not they themselves.

 

[Gough]

What the actual f***? How can you vote for someone who won't tell you what they intend on doing in government?

Coalition won’t reveal 2030 emissions target unless it wins election, Peter Dutton says

Liberal leader says opposition is committed to Paris agreement but reaching net zero by 2050 ‘doesn’t need to be linear’

Cartoon that could apply to any policy goal over the past 5 years.

This time it's climate change.

Dutton thinks he is Trump.

Problem is twofold. 1/ Australians hate Trump. 2/ Dutton has the charisma (and look, and intelligence) of a potato

And can't really swan around from property to property in a private helicopter or the battlers will get all bolshie.

Are Aussie Battlers still a thing?

Yeah - they are the ones driving the American Utes

 

[Gavin Excell]

Conspiracy theorists too?

 

[Pie eyed]

No, but that does not excuse Costello for being a complete twat.

Live by the corrupt, biased, ambulance chasing journalist, die but the corrupt, biased, ambulance chasing journalist.

They think they are Trump voters....LOL.
North Queenslanders a lot of em.

Yes. I like it when my enemies fight each other.

The last time the Liberals released their policies after the election it was Workchoices

you seem a little unnerved, tp. the answer is 'yes' and regularly. i've posted many on b.f. and the senior partner regularly writes long form pieces for 'crikey', some of which i've also posted.

I had a quick scroll - it's been a while. Lots of posts about politics and one side in particular.

Newspoll and YouGov at 50-50 - all very bouncy.

Oh no!

 

[The Punter]

Oh no!

It's OK, if I ever needed legal representation, I would look to engage someone who took their commitment to everyone being entitled to a legal defence more seriously.

Hyperbolic discounting.

The Coalition wants to dump our 2030 emissions target, yet somehow hit 2050’s. Behavioural economics has a name for that

Human beings are so keen put off things off (as the Coalition wants to with our 2030 emissions target), economists have come up with a name for it – hyperbolic discounting.

Hyperbolic Discounting: Why You Make Terrible Life Choices

Have you ever had a mounting pile of work you know you need to do but for some reason didn’t? Yet you put it off, turn on Netflix, and fantasize about how you’re going to crush it tomorrow. Hyperbolic discounting is why you procrastinate and choose smaller payoffs now over larger rewards later.

If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. This is just confirmation that the mining lobby is writing the Liberal Party's energy policy.

While this is undoubted true, it could well be a long play for the 2029 election as well(and are conceding this one).

Very little chance Labor will be even close to 43% cut by that date unless they take dramatic action which doesn't appear in their current dna. Could also look at this nuclear proposition in the same manner, "see, we would have cut them by more with our insane proposals that we had no intention of actually doing"
