Why was the Airbus Albo rhetoric fine, but when the tables are turned, we need to 'dial it down' for the sake of civility?So dial up the rhetoric then?
I think the point is that everyone in politics can tone it down a little and act with some more civility. Which is exactly I call on everyone to do, right now.

It's the hypocrisy that gets me, people like Dutton and Trump dial up the rhetoric, then when it gets too much, suggest the burden is on others to tone everything down.
You were responding to a post that suggested Dutton needed to be called out for his travel and suggested we all needed to dial it down, which seems to me like saying time-out on the criticism. Apologies if that was not how it was intended but it's hard to see it any other way. And there is a tendency for these populist politicians to demand a time-out on rhetoric, right after they've dialed it up and the chickens are about to come home to roost.Did you not think I was talking about Dutton?
I wasn't engaging in any criticism of the Prime Minister going overseas - it's part of his job.
What did people expect from the ALPs watered down NACC? The way the ALP defunded and disempowered Victoria's IBAC to protect Dan made it pretty clear the ALP was just pretending to care about integrity

i think politicians talking about how violence isn't acceptable when they enact and promote it every day is a bit richSo dial up the rhetoric then?

Should be additional tax cuts if you also wear and onion on your belt.
Early 2000'sWhen did they get that fashy/authoritarian?
Zed brought in a lot.of nutters when he was the local senator and a lot of moderates left. And clearly they learnt nothing from Zed losing the unlosable senate seat.When did they get that fashy/authoritarian?
I would think young fogies have always been fashy.When did they get that fashy/authoritarian?

Yep the better option out of the 2 but they are really Liberal Lite these days.Labor does genuinely govern for more people than the LNP but their supporters take that to mean they’re altruistic and seekers of justice. They’re not. They’re straighter than the LNP (not that it’s an achievement) but just likes the Libs, they will do anything to get and stay in power. Incl pork barrelling, which is what the grants stuff is.
thug has always been and will always be nothing more than piss and wind.
Problem for the Libs is that they cried Wolf too many times about the Unions. They had a Royal Commission into the Unions not that long ago, and found next-to-nothing.Probably one of Duttons best statements in terms of his position on the Union's regulatory administrator appointment.
Will be interesting to see how Albo handles this.
Dutton has somehow managed to seem logical in seeking accountability so far.
Take Victoria. For all their faults the andrews merlino Allan govt have raised the standard in preparing Victoria infrastructure for population increase similar to the gold rush years….with no gold rush to pay for it.
Yet the age hun etc is constantly presenting the govt as the worst in this space. Som is warranted but some is just unhinged opposition. Their happily conflating unions and interest rates right now.
