Can you elaborate on that? How is democracy in Australia under threat?
It's not
Has he been described as a "patriot" yet?
Dutton announced his campaign in Mt Waverley. His main pillars were:
Lower immigration: Mt Waverley Primary and Secondary schools have 70% of homes with LOTE spoken at home
$50k Super for housing for separated mums: A 2br unit in Mt Waverley is $750k, a 3br home is $1.4 million+
Mt Waverley is not the place to launch a campaign against immigration and about housing affordability. And Neighbouring Glen Waverley is 80% LOTE and house prices are 10% more.
If they're so desperate to win Chisholm that they'll take this message and launch it there, they're really battling (Or didn't know the facts on the ground). Would have been wiser to go a bit further east to Aston, in the bible belt, or at least to a different suburb in Chisholm like Holmesglen.
The re-districting of Chisholm might get them over the line, but the message would have been better heard somewhere like Knoxfield or Rowville.

Just like the ‘a vote for teal is a vote for labor/green’ letter drops in kooyong are actually working against them for 40 to 50 percent of the houses.
Ground campaign seems lacking a little

Unfortunately, Labor is hamstrung on that attack line, they can’t be accusing Dutton of following Trump’s strategy of lies and bullshit when Trump is the sitting president of our biggest ally.

Yep, wondering if it’s a legit line of attack. Frame it as ‘tickets on himself - which he can’t cash’
Labor don't have to say it when everyone is already thinking it.
Dutton sounds stupid when he supports Trump. Why would the ALP interfere in any of that?
Andy anyone who doesn't think Trump is an idiot was ever going to vote for the ALP.

Yes, they can let others say it, they just can’t be caught saying it themselves.

He is a nasty man and it showed today in some of his interviews.
There is a reason they have hid him over the last two and half years. The mask will continue to slip as he does the campaign trail over the next few months.

Dutton election posters will be like blank canvases. Draw some Groucho Marx eyebrows on them.
It is only January though
Once he gets away from the belly rub environment of Sky and 2GB, he might crack
I’m struggling to imagine a Temu Trump when the Don is already the lowest rent piece of human trash ever to infect politics.
How have we in Australia come to a place where the strategy of a fetid sewer like Trump, which is literally the oldest and most morally repugnant play in the book (demonizing the other & playing the patriot card) is considered by presumably sentient political advisors to be half a chance?

When Murdoch is on your side, you can get away with a lot of shit.

If/when Dutton stops punching down, he will be treated better.
wonder if 'middle australia' will see the irony

Dutton targets waste and handouts in middle Australia pitch
The opposition leader pledged to rein in what he says is wasteful spending and said his strong leadership would be an antidote to a “weak” Anthony Albanese.

“Makes a case…” Nonsense. It was pap, drivel, focus-tested, push-button crap. Not a policy in it. At bottom, Dutton is hollow and empty. There’s nothing there...

Yes, election slogans are just PR words designed to foster positive vibes. But LNP's “Let’s get Australia back on track” is laughable. Relies on voters forgetting a decade of corruption, incompetence, lies, climate denial, and a worsening housing crisis. #auspol...

H.L.Mencken wrote this in 1918 and it remains as depressingly true as ever: “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed - and hence clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”...

As the regressive project gathers pace, targeting each minority group in turn in pursuit of a return to the unchallenged social and cultural primacy of the white straight male, the fascinating thing is why the women who are actively participating in it don't think their turn is coming too.

You’re right, he can’t help that. He has full control of being a campaigner though. I’ll just refer to him as campaigner face from now on.
