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

[Saint]

He’s been president before?

I think he means it's proof they're just going to keep voting out Governments who don't work for the people, regardless of who the opposition is. At some point, a Government will want a second term and actually reject the current trickle-down economic settings (even if they're not announced like that any more).

How else to describe not taxing oil and gas exports because of the few construction jobs they provide in remote areas.

If Ditton doesn't win the next Federal election it will be the greatest Injustice since channel axing Gladiators in the 90s.

They also just re axed the reboot too

Nect time he ventures into our socialist state, they maybe wanna take him to see the NEL

 

[Spirit Level]

Can everybody please just not be morons and vote against this ****head?

He’s been president before?

Yes - but I think he is president for different reasons this time. Last time he was president by a millimetre against a deeply unpopular candidate who ran a horrific campaign.

This time is a massive FU to the establishment. Voters said that the Democrats are just more of the same and we don't want the same. Trump is obviously not the answer but they don't care - they are willing to risk it all.

There is some weird shit going on in the world between youth in China refusing to work and citizens of the USA willing to blow up their own (for once) country.

There is an opportunity for progressive politics to take advantage of this - not sure anyone knows how yet. But the opening is there. Dan Andrews actually achieved it in Victoria - for all his haters he was an exceptionally popular and successful progressive politician. I doubt anyone could name a more progressive politician in recent Australian history.

I guess Dutton had other things occupying him in 2014-15

The Liberals forecast debt in 2022 at $977B.

Albanese and Chalmers had debt at $890B at the end of 2023.

Albanese and Chalmers reduced debt further to $882B at the end of 2024.

Why don't the Liberals want to talk about debt anymore?

To busy protecting sex pests and paedo's?

Let's be honest - both times were big FUs to the establishment.

I remember that Trump was seen as a force for potential change, whereas Hillary was seen as part of the neoliberal party machine.

Also the exact same thing Trump asked the GOP to do, after they'd proposed the border bill, so he could attack the Dems for not being stronger on the border.

Didn't the Liberal's withdraw bipartisan support for the Reserve Bank reforms as well? Or was it something else?

They don't even care about government anymore - Morrison openly saying "We don't trust in governments" when speaking to a room full of happy clappers probably should have been enough of a hint on how the Liberals view government.
