Just to reassure people, Peter Dutton has as much chance of leading the Liberal coalition to victory as I have of becoming the Pope
He's spent the past 3 years grabbing headlines without putting in the work on substance & policies and now it's coming home to bite him
A guaranteed failure of a man

To my American friends.
The Australian Prime Minister in response to the Trump Tariff placed on Australia said ‘this is not the act of a friend.’
Australians would more directly call Trump’s unwarranted action a …t act.

The resumption of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, with the full backing of the US government, is an outrage. Israel’s ongoing assault will only deepen the devastation and suffering already inflicted on Gazans.
