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

[schneebly111]

The enormously obese mineral whore Clive Palmer has begun his idiotic commercial campaign with this nonsense, “Australians are going hungry…..”
ok ya fat campaigner

And he finishes off the ad asking for Australians to say a prayer

Did he mistake us for Alabama?

Also just saw another ad, jeez he looks flushed and thin, and with those blood shot eyes while he tries to tail against climate action.

Been hitting some of the wacky sauce a bit too much eh Clive?

That’s what small government means. Less policy. Or in their case, no policy.

Journos need to start telling Dutton that if it’s so important for Australia’s future that people vote for his policies, he needs to say what those policies are.

Jane Hume was wheeled out on RN this morning. She said that the Coalition would 'rightsize' government and that government spending is crowding out the private sector.

Absolute bullshit. The Great Depression, Second World War, postwar boom and covid pandemic showed that Keynesian economics works. Government spending stimulates the private sector by creating demand, not the opposite. More ideological crap not backed up by evidence. The LNP's schtick.

It’s so dishonest.

Of course the Coalition doesn't mind when profits are up much more than ages. Sounding Marxist, they are for the capitalist class, not the working or middle classes.

In their eyes, it's right and just for business owners to make 20% more money while employees make 10% more, or none, because employees are plebs and employers are superior patricians like them. I believe both employees and employers work hard, and it's right and just for them to share any increases in profit.

But but the mega is telling me stridently that there’s a world wide right wing renaissance against progressive?

There is a global movement to xenophobic Nationalism.

The Liberals have always excelled in that environment.

But is there? All I see is meeja which gives more and more eye rolls as time goes on

Is it really a movement, or is it just the same reactionary conservatives have found a new language and figured out how to amplify their racism on Social media without backlash?

Is it not just racist rage bait being amplified by rage clicks and algorithims which promote anger and division?

I think it’s both. Malign feedback loop.

Mate I've lived in different parts of Melbourne so I've been out an about and I know exactly what the outer East for example think in regards to the Labor Party so any excuse to not vote for them they will. As illinformed and as uneducated as you can get. All they care about is getting pissed on weekends, Sport and Cars. Cut and paste the South East. I'll reiterate what I said, if they think Dutton is the better choice we are in real strife as a nation.

Those same folk are the ones complaining that everything costs too much, that they've got no money, and the government is to blame.

Nevermind the fact that they've got 3 cars, a seadoo and 5 houses they can't afford.

Almost as stupid as Midwest America.
