I don’t kill kids with the heroin I make. I sell my heroin into the general pool of pushers who then kill the kids.

He’s literally just used a soundbite to explain why he has no comment because he doesn’t want to use soundbites. FMD.

Albanese uses a soundbite instead of targeted sanctions to explain how he’s not interested in soundbites.

It's becoming like Trump-watch with Dutton. Just when you think he's reached his nadir, he sinks to even more disgusting behaviour.
The day this man is removed from public life can't come soon enough.
