When Dutton says LNP will cut the APS by 36,000, remember they've done this before. Then they had to backfill with consultants (an external workforce).

"...that external workforce cost $20.8 billion in the final year of the Morrison government." 👀

ABC's #Insiders is now #SkyNews on Sunday. Smarmy Liberal Party fanboy David Speers blatantly uses the program to push the LNP agenda. It is not fair or balanced. It does not accurately reflect the current Parliament (rarely interviewing Teal independents.) It is not journalism. #auspol #AusVotes25

3 identical articles this weekend from The Guardian, ABC & The Age/SMH - 'Dutton's been great up until a few weeks ago, but don't worry folks, he'll make a comeback' 🙄

(Apparently it's all down to that pesky Albanese delaying the election. Nothing to do with offensive ideology or policy...)
