Peter Dutton - How Long?

[Chief]

LOL

From the video:

Dutton edits out the bit where the baker talks about working for FOUR YEARS to get action in Alice Springs.

Three of those years were LNP fed government years where they took $500mil out of ATSI funding.

It’s disgraceful…. Cutting 500ml to services but giving a baker a 1mil grant…. No wonder the baker is a valued spokesperson

giving a baker a 1mil grant

Oh yeah that's the guy who got a grant to open up bakeries in some areas.

Only $1m? Unlucky. If he made whisky he would have got $4.5m.

Sky has already made segments saying that compulsory voting is bad and America’s system is better:

‘Good thing’ America’s system isn’t compulsory voting

Sky News host Paul Murray says it’s a “good thing” America’s system isn’t compulsory voting. “But in Australia, we have compulsory voting, which means those people vote for the Greens,” Mr Murray said.

They don’t think that americas voting system is good for America though?

These sky news links are pure trash.
2 lines only. No reasons or information. Pure clickbait.

'made segments' versus a cut from a regular show, e.g 7.30 ?

Please don't bother quoting my posts. I don't give the time of day to any of yours, and scroll straight past, happy for you to return the favour. Cheerio

Dutton is the necessary seat warmer for now, taking as many blows as possible and shielding a potential future Liberal Party PM from taking on the flak.

All I heard was "Wah, wah, waaaaaaaah, we're losing elections, Mummy! I want the system changed! And some ice cream!*"

Ingrates.

Why weren't they calling for a change in 2019, I wonder?



*Paul Murray's a fat dickhead, so I'm sure he knows his way around a tub.

im sure the 'fat d1ckhead' is aware of the demographic cliff conservatives are fast approaching (kos samaras is) ....... hence the call for the abolition of compulsory voting (paving the way for voting suppression strategies used by republicans)

this is so pleasing gen z, millennials, and women are leaving the reactionaries in droves.

Exactly. We absolutely have to be on our guard against this sort of schitte.

Which they WILL try, because they literally have NOTHING else.

a potential future Liberal Party PM

Right now when I try to picture that in my minds eye I just get a swirling graphic and a corny 70s synthesiser sound.

JFC.

13%?

At this point, I hope that Dud-ton is the LNP leader for life, because there's no way known he's winning an election in the foreseeable future.

 

[pastmyprimus]

The LNP are just doing a bad version of Time Warp. Jumping to the right instead of the left.

agree. nothing in the ranks at present to replace him. it's significant that gen z voters - those that will impact elections in the future - are turning away from the ultra rightist libs. long may the views of spud, credlin, kroger et al have sway in this rabble.

Oh dear, it’s not going at all well for Peter Dutton. Poor, poor Peter Dutton.

Next to Albanese, Dutton is Labor’s greatest asset

Senior Liberals fear Peter Dutton’s approach to the Voice will fail to secure a single extra vote, particularly in seats his party must win if it is to ever form government again.

“Much as Anthony Albanese might want Peter Dutton to stay as opposition leader, he is not inclined to throw him a lifeline in the May 9 budget by breaking his promise and cancelling or changing the circa $300 billion stage three tax cuts, due for delivery on July 1 next year.

Any tweaks to stage three will be in next year’s budget as part of a wider reform and redistribution package that Albanese would take to voters at the election, and possibly snooker Dutton. Assuming Dutton is still there.

Judging him to be Labor’s best asset – next to Albanese himself, who is ever mindful that voters have had a gutful of conflict and broken promises – one cabinet minister confessed to urging Albanese to go easy on Dutton. “Don’t kill him,” he begged.

Unfortunately, there is little Labor can do to save Dutton from himself.

Albanese hasn’t moved as quickly as some would like, nor as boldly, drawing criticism from his own MPs. Instead, he has sidled to the centre, prioritised rebuilding trust, consolidating Labor’s lead as preferred economic managers and establishing ascendancy on national security, territory once held by the Coalition.

Meanwhile, Dutton has sought to appease his base and fortify his defences by destroying the Voice referendum.

Senior colleagues past and present fear Dutton’s approach will fail to secure a single extra vote, particularly in those seats the Liberals must win if they are ever to form government again.

Nor will it contribute to social cohesion.
While it is not true to say that every Australian who votes No in the Voice referendum is a racist, you can bet your bottom dollar that every racist will vote No.

The great pity is there are those arguing for No who will, by failing to frame their arguments respectfully or back their claims with facts, further embolden and provide succour to the racists and bigots among us. They are fomenting the very discord they claim will be triggered by the Voice, presumably in preparation for saying “told you so” if the referendum succeeds.

Making unsubstantiated or misleading statements about the purpose, structure and origins of the Voice, or wilfully ignoring the weight of legal opinions from former High Court justices and past and present solicitors-general which says we can do this without wrecking the Constitution or life as we know it, won’t help anyone except the maddies. It certainly won’t help the Liberal Party.

The Voice might not work, particularly if the wells of goodwill are poisoned by the time of the vote. Surely, given the failures so far of every government at every level, it is time for a different approach.

Data shows in three critical Closing the Gap measures – life expectancy, infant mortality and completing year 12 – Indigenous people have either fallen further behind non-Indigenous people or made precious little headway.

In his excellent book Telling Tennant’s Story: The Strange Career of the Great Australian Silence, Dean Ashenden chronicles the terrible consequences of colonisation for Indigenous peoples, including the arming and deployment by Europeans of the Queensland Native Police to fight other Indigenous people. Anyone who reads Ashenden’s book without feeling angry or ashamed has lost all humanity.

His retelling of gruesome events, woven into his personal story (his family lived in Tennant Creek for a time) won the Australian Political Book of the Year award in 2022. The judges commended Ashenden for placing his own story in “a much wider and more troubling context, both over time and into the present day, with a knowledgeable and clear-eyed view of the failings of the legal system, the degradations of political opportunism, the battle over history and the confronting question of why most of us know so little of this story”.

Speaking of political opportunism, Dutton admitted in a major speech in Adelaide last week, attended by just 40 people, that his approach on the Voice was “grounded in pragmatism”. Ain’t that the truth.

Yet this issue demands so much more from leaders. A leader in tune with the mood of the wider community rather than an inexorably narrowing base would recognise the moral imperative and know that it requires engagement of both head and heart.

Colleagues describe Dutton’s approach as shambolic, triggered by the shocking Aston byelection loss. They nominate his refusal to give frontbenchers a conscience vote, thereby forcing (or engineering) the resignation of Julian Leeser; the distribution in the party room of a policy committing to a national Voice agreed to by MPs which Dutton ignored when announcing his decision; his failure after camping out in Alice Springs to provide evidence to support his claim that abused children were returned to perpetrators; then finally appointing the Nationals’ articulate and ambitious Jacinta Nampijinpa Price as opposition Indigenous affairs spokeswoman, granting the supposedly junior partner an extra spot at the expense of Liberals and guaranteeing conflict over the Voice stays front and centre.

Rivals are either openly displaying their wares (Dan Tehan, Sussan Ley) or telling friends they believe they can replace Dutton (Paul Fletcher) or quietly reviewing numbers (Angus Taylor). Andrew Hastie, in the running to be the prime minister who welcomes the first nuclear submarine, can afford to wait. Others like Simon Birmingham continue to tread a fine line between loyalty to Dutton and loyalty to principle.

Karen Andrews, a significant loss to the frontbench, could have been a contender, but foreseeing a dismal future for the Coalition, told Dutton before Aston that she would not run again.

Andrews reckons there is a goat track – not a pathway – back to government, or at least to potentially regaining some heartland seats with her pick for leadership, Josh Frydenberg, winning Kooyong. Right now, the chances of that are between zip and zero.

She has seen little progress on policy positioning or party restructuring to make that happen.

With the budget only days away, she and others believed Dutton ensured the Voice would remain dominant, prompting the question: what about the economy, stupid?”

Niki Savva should know that the rump of the party room that supports Dutton cares more about their own ego and winning factional battles than winning elections and until they're gone the Libs are f***ed because sadly for them hard right are quite happy to keep losing elections until they completely control the party.
