I tend to agree… I think the end for Dutton was the interest rate cut. Cost of living is the number one issue and the rate cut signified things should be turning.
Also, I think Duttons team erred in trying to portray some Dutton characteristics as Trump at a time when Trumps popularity is sinking is also noteworthy. Then Dutton watering down his WFH public service policy is a further sign of Dutton losing momentum.
The sooner this is over the better, it’s a dull campaign and the politics is awful. A Labor win (minority govt still likely) the expected outcome.
Not applying for a job at law firm, she’s putting herself up for office. Deliberate, amazingly dumb, deceitful and cynical. So she’s the perfect LNP candidate as it turns out.
How terrible to have a dull campaign without the thrills of children overboard or pentecostal egomaniacs pilfering portfolios or an automated welfare system designed to destroy lives resulting in suicides. Just terrible.
because he’s milking it . he’s allowed to talk about it but he’s milking it for votes . I think that’s cringeworthy . we have heard it a thoudand times . each time doesn’t have more impact . he’s better off letting other people bring it up
Public servants are an easy target, Canberra based even easier. But to falsify the numbers is stupidity. Cutting 41k when the increase under Labor was less than 8k ( and mostly for Veterans and Centrelink).
Then Jane Hume saying that PS were refusing to go back to work, watering it down to being OK . She didn’t take into account that WFH has been a positive experience across the workforce , particularly for women, it’s insulting to suggest that all working people are bludgers. WFH also reduces costs of childcare, travel to work.
Do you think anyone would dig into Dutton’s past, knowing that he sent his hired goons (the Feds) to intimidate journalists and confiscate documents…… during their last term in Government.
Actually though, in spite of my respect for many of the Pollies that I know, I do reckon you have to be very dumb to run for office. Poor pay, long hours and most people either hate or distrust you, or both.
Well that’s the case for a lot of people who try to teach kids for a living and I know which perky little clipper I’d rather be sailing in. My cynical hat on, the majority of major party people of this generation are there to advance themselves, community a distant second, third, fourth. No sympathy.
No doubt. And if he loses to a bloke whose one wood, wielded by his wife, is “He’s not a monster”, he deserves to be confined in a derelict commission block for 20 years.
I suspect nobody on the ALP side has made an issue of that part of Dutton’s past because they know that the demographic of people on the receiving end is a demographic that many people would smugly watch getting abused and say stuff about ‘tough love’.
