Any "softer" side of Peter Dutton is reserved for his family. Old saying "home angel, street devil". Those who worked with him, including his own LNP colleagues, have different opinion. George Brandis called him "The Stalker". Malcolm Turnbull "Thug".
As Dutton parades his softer side, let’s all not forget woeful he is.
Perhaps the most significant question around Dutton’s incompetent pitiful political history & disgraceful performances relate to his approach, over a long period, to the politics of race.
It’s the only thing he’s got.

If there's to be a discussion in Australia about 'anti-white racism' & Sam Kerr's suitability to represent us, it's worth noting that according to the Australian HRC, racism occurs when prejudice 'is accompanied by the power to discriminate against, oppress or limit the rights of others.'

Sam Kerr's trial started uncomfortable conversations about anti-white racism
Sam Kerr has been cleared by the courts but her public image has been damaged, and questions remain around her suitability to represent her country.

Half a billion dollars wasted - kinda like buying something online that you knew deep down was a scam. Pity there’s no PayPal guarantee when the parcel never arrives.
AUKUS is in “even deeper trouble than before” with Trump back in the Oval Office, Australian National University emeritus professor Hugh White tells Crikey.
Today's Trump chaos is exactly what Australia feared when it planned AUKUS
Scott Morrison waited until Joe Biden replaced Donald Trump before proposing the AUKUS alliance. So now what? Is the deal in 'even deeper trouble than before'?

Remember this?
While there may b reasons not to like Turnbull -he is not going to call Dutton a THUG very publicly unless he has a good reason.
Dutton IS a thug & a bully. He’s also a racist who punches down on minorities.
We hve all seen his toxic behaviour. Dutton doesn’t deserve to be a leader

Australia is not like America. We won't tolerate the oligarchy of billionaires running our government, paying no tax and laughing all the way to the bank. Dutton mimics all of Trumps policies including to sack public servants and give the work to consultants at 3 times the cost.
