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

[The Punter]

Someone has to defend the Bruce Lehrman types - they are running the whole show you know

Just for clarity for anyone who may take things literally around here - I've done nothing of the sort related to Mr Lehrmann.

The LNP have policies?

A policy to have no polices, and to whiteant others who have policies

Profit from the confusion, but call all their opponents ‘unaustralian’

 

[QuietB]

The LNP have policies?

Religious Freedoms Policy
Knighting Price Philip
Repealing all mining taxes

9 years in 10 words

As probably the only person in this thread who has worked in writing LNP policy, I find this all rather amusing.

I am reminded of that old Woody Allen joke: why do all the people who really know how to run the world drive cabs or cut hair for a living?

Is this specifically about the handful of posts joking that LNP policy is drafted by SkyNews?

Or are you talking more generally about the topics in this thread?

Never mind. I just realised, you must have put me on ignore after reporting me for 'abusing' mpmonkys.
More than fair. All the best.

I don't have anyone on ignore. It was a general comment about actually having the knowledge of the processes inside an organisation.

Serious question… have you ever sat in a meeting where state owned anything was considered by the LNP?

Newscorp broke the story, right?

not where i first saw it. but the point was they and their fellow travellers have been at pains to say "keep the family out of it" while doing the opposite with peeps like andrews. do as i say, not do as i do

It's also a state secret if there has been a radioactive leak. And Whistleblowers in Australia are treated lower than dirt.

So, yes, there are no complaints, but that's because they don't know if there have been any leaks. And if there had been leaks, we wouldn't know.

Sounds like a Peter Dutton policy to me.

I saw the story on multiple newscorp mastheads so this is confusing. I don't think newscorp are doing a very good job of keeping the family out of it.

 

[Sqotty from office works]

So I gather Dutton will support pill testing.

Newscorp and Dutton are close, like family.

Everyone has a dodgy uncle. Even Dutton.

Pascoe is spot on We're all being played to by a cynical and dishonest man and party, devoid of any sensible plan on how we tackle future energy policy
