Peter Dutton made a new election ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

I've seen some of the latest polling (some) and as far as the general Australian electorate is concerned, Peter Dutton stinks like the fetid carcass of a 10-days-dead whale washed up on the shores of Desperation Beach.

His stench of failure is everywhere.

And a falling tide grounds all boats.

Victorians hate Dutton. We will never forgive or forget. First we were too scared to go to restaurants. Now he's telling us we're too scared to go to Bunnings. He is such a tosser. Never speak for Victorians. Only thing we’re scared of is him as our next PM. #auspol

Here's a video version of Liberal Lies Collector Card #2:
"No Nuclear Power Means Australia Is Lagging Behind!"

Are you lagging behind by not having something that most countries like you don't have or are reducing? 🤔

An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australian Liberal Party Lies". This is #5. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!" The Cherry-Pick section says: “27,000 small businesses have shut their doors”. The Whole Truth section says: “There's more businesses than ever. High numbers of businesses start and close every year.” A line chart shows quarterly business entires and exits, seasonally adjusted, as % of total businesses, from 2015 Q1 to 2024 Q4. The green "New businesses" line is always higher than the red "Closed businesses" line. The blue and red bars beneath annotate when Liberal or Labor were in government. The explanation continues: "There is a long term trend of an increasing % of new and closing businesses." Footnotes refer to the ABS as the source of the data.

An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australian Liberal Party Lies". This is #6. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!" The Lie section says: “Renewables are driving up power bills”. The Facts section says: “Coal and gas prices have DOUBLED, which pushed up wholesale and then retail electricity prices”. A series of small bar charts illustrate changes in relevant data between 2020/21 and 2022/23/24, showing coal prices increasing 135%, gas prices 112%, wholesale electricity prices 104%, and the percentage of renewables having increased 30%. Retail prices are shown in a larger chart to have increased 24% from 2020/21/22 to 2023/24. An arrow links wholesale prices to retail prices with the label “Lag”. Footnotes refer to the sources of the data as AER, ABS, Open Electricity, YCharts and OFX. The graphic is licensed as Creative Commons, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives.

An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australian Liberal Party Lies". This is #8. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!" The Lie section says: “Our energy plan using nuclear will cost 44% less”. The Facts section says: “Their modelling excludes most of the cost, because nuclear arrives late in the 25 years modelled, and the cost is spread over the 50 years after their 20 year construction. It only includes about 16% of the cost of nuclear plants! ” A stacked bar chart shows the annual electricity production in TWh from renewable (in green), fossil (in charcoal), and nuclear (in red) sources. Nuclear plants can be seen only generating small amounts of energy at 2040, and significant amounts of energy from 2045 onwards. The large bar at the right, with a timeframe of “Later”, is labelled “The other 5 / 6ths of the nuclear lifetime / costs not in the model”. A small yellow line above the 2051 bar shows the energy expected from the AEMO Step Change scenario. A note says the Liberal’s nuclear plan “produces 25% less energy than AEMO’s plan they’re comparing to”. Footnotes refer to the data being “TWh annual electricity production, ‘Nuclear alternative – Progressive’”, and the source as Frontier Economics.

In 2022, the Coalition lost an election in which climate change was the biggest issue.

In 2025, they do not have a single policy which would decrease our emissions in the next 10 years.
‘Bordering on incredible’: Coalition under fire for planning to scrap Labor climate policies and offering none of its own
With Peter Dutton’s views on climate change in the spotlight, the focus has turned onto whether there will be any policies to reduce emissions in the next decade

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

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
Peter Dutton, dressed in a tight fleshy coloured human mask, stands in front of a lectern at last night's televised leaders' debate in front of a red ABC NEWS logo and a blue Australia Votes logo. He has his glasses in one hand as the other hand touches his head to adjust the zipper set into his skull on his human-suit.

From tax breaks for the wealthy to fear campaigns and climate denial, Peter Dutton is reheating the same failed Coalition policies that helped cause the cost of living crisis in the first place.
