So sad. And yes the changes to super do defy everything the LNP believe in, which is ensuring wealthy people get wealthier at the taxpayers expense

Dutton is going full Trump. Never go full Trump. Even Trump shouldn't go full Trump.
He's obviously completely given up on winning the votes of women, or anybody under 55.

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

Angus Taylor is spinning rubbish on #RadioSydney.
He wants to sack 41 thousand public servants appointed by Labor - but ignores Sabra pointing out that this was to replace expensive consultants and to get services working again (after the last #LNP stuffed up).
