Dutton has always been underestimated. At first we all thought he was just another charm-free LNP weasel. A thug with delusions of adequacy. Wrong. He was an epic clusterfuck, as popular as anal warts. Ironically he’s had a bigger impact on the party than Robert Menzies - just not in a good way.

The Liberals’ new energy plan recycles climate denial talking points and flat-out falsehoods. It’s not policy – it’s a fossil-fuel fantasy. Voters deserve better than fearmongering and misinformation. #ClimateCrisis #AusPol #EnergyPolicy #PearlsandIrritations #NetZero #ActOnClimate
Senate committee on disinformation should look into the Liberals' energy policy: It is full of it
The Liberal Party’s new energy policy recycles discredited claims and fossil fuel talking points, undermining public trust and delaying the essential task of real action.

She’s trying to highlight that we don’t know who’s under a burqa but there’s only one idiot in parliament that would do that 🤣 Twice. Thanks for reminding all your new voters how useless you are.
Now remind them that you tried to undermine Aussie sovereignty by taking NRA money.

Senate shut down for 1.5 hours after Pauline Hanson's burka stunt
The rare break in proceedings came after One Nation's Pauline Hanson strode into the chamber wearing a burka and then refused to leave after being slapped with a sanction.

The story of recycling is not one of public apathy but of institutional design. It’s a story of how industries used moral narratives to deflect responsibility.
Citizens do the work, municipalities pay for it, and corporations keep the profits. To fix the system, we must first rewrite that story
