'WE' not 'ME'. Mainly here for current affairs and political news and discussion. Very much against the Murdochracy and the right-wing virus stinking up the joint worldwide.
At the end of the day, Dutton running for the hills from an appearance at the NPC in a televised address in front of the national press, incl. his own soundboards from Murdoch and Stokes, says all you need to know.
Without proven facts, stats and costs, you're exposed as a fraud.

Australian steel and aluminium exports to the US were valued at approximately US$608 million in 2023.

China imported 76% of Australia’s steel, iron, and aluminium, valued at approximately US$79.13 billion that year.

Context is important.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

Who'd have thought 'small government' actually equates to expensive governance?
Many of us actually.
Conservative ideology against public jobs masks a sinister plot.
Dutton wants to cut 36,000 jobs from the public service.

A Coalition govt wld then contract that work out to multinational corporations- NOT small contractors.

They’ve done it b4. Morrison govt spent $20.8b in ONE year on contractors. This was 37% of the public service budget.

DON’T trust Dutton

No, Rita. The “sisterhood” isn’t a fan of a woman who shamelessly endorses an adjudicated rapist POTUS, supported an LNP PM who thought women protesting against sexual violence should be “grateful they weren’t met with bullets”and backs a leader who dismissed a claim of rape as “he said, she said”

The only way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Putin is a bully, and so are #Trump and Vance.

Zelenskyy stood up to Trump and Vance, and the bullies lost their shit.

Americans should be ashamed of themselves for inflicting the orange shitgibbon on the world

While watching that horrifying, globe-shifting exchange with Zelenkskyy, I couldn't help but think about what a deliberately staged reality-TV moment it was, with two people ganging up on one and screaming a classic, totally petulant reality-TV accusation: They hadn't been thanked enough.

Trump decimating the Education Department. Employees offered buyout to leave now. Cuts to education, health care, infectious diseases control, renewables, air traffic safety. Trump is destroying America & Dutton has modelled himself on this madness. Be warned #auspol www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
Education Department to staffers: Quit by Monday and get $25K in cash
The offer comes before what will be "a very significant" reduction in force, Education Department officials write.

Prime candidate to lead the country accordingly to a significant proportion of halfwit Australians.
Australian irony: Dutton has a long track record as a terrible minister in every portfolio he’s held, is a policy lightweight and peddler of racism, but the only attack line resonating is that he’s good at property investment.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.

7's political guru Tim Lester provides his synopsis of a latest poll suggesting the Coalition ahead in two-party preferred 55-45.
"Even after last week's interest rate RISE it appears Labor hasn't received the bump they would have expected."
Yep. Tim's all over it.

Well....yes, but that really pales into insignificance when you consider the proportion of swinging voters, according to this poll, that haven't swept to indis or greens but back to the LNP. The stupidity and lack of understanding of basic policy and economic reality is mind-blowing.
25% is the end of the two-party system, like it or not
