I think the single most regretful act by Labor has been the stupid trade agreement they signed with India that opened the flood gates for mass Indian immigration into Australia. What the fuck were they thinking when they signed that? How stupidly gullible do you have to be to believe that that was going to be good for Australia?Quote:

Fucken politicians, political parties and governments - never trust 'em!
Rampage? More like considered criticism. And why does not liking the Labor party mean I can't also criticise the LNP? And how does that not gel with your don't trust any politician or government philosophy? What are you complaining about? If you reject my comparisons of Dutton to Trump then tell me why instead of attacking me.Quote:

It's true, and true of the LNP in general; their whole ethos is to privatise everything.

He consistently opposed legislation to reduce taxpayer subsidies for private health insurance. In 2009 and 2012, he voted against the Fairer Private Health Insurance Incentives Bill, which sought to means-test rebates for high-income earners.Quote:

It's true. Following the 2017 Sydney plane terror plot, Dutton singled out Lebanese Muslims as a security threat, stating there was an “over-representation” of radicalised individuals within the community, unfairly stigmatising an entire demographic. He also called for a ban on refugees from Gaza, citing unsubstantiated security risks, weaponising the humanitarian crises for political gain.Quote:

It's true. He proposed fast-tracking visas for white South African farmers, claiming they faced “persecution” under land reform policies, echoing colonial-era narratives of racial superiority, with Afrikaners framed as “civilised” victims deserving rescue and ignoring the systemic violence against Black South Africans.Quote:

Calling bullshit on facts that are easily validated just makes you look like an angry, dumb cunt... but then I guess that's Dutton's target voter.
Thanks for calling me an angry dumb cunt, you oh you highly informed sucker of the Albanese cock. Please tell me how much better your life and the community harmony is in your little corner of Shitville after 3 years of this buffoon known now as Albanese (formerly Ellery). I live in the Sydney CBD and have had first hand experience of the community disharmony with the marches since October 7th, I have worked in hospitality and saw the lawlessness of Lebbo gangs from the "religion of peace" with their rampages through various entertainment venues late at night. I regularly visit the Great Barrier Reef as I used to live on the reef years ago and catch up with friends are marine experts who tell me that the reef is thriving, and they have never seen it in better condition. Victorian police have recently passed laws to combat the use of machetes primarily used by African youths...the crime is out of control there. Luckily I own my properties so I am mortgage free but people are really struggling after 12 interest rate increases...I have friends that have had to sell up as they cannot afford them anymore, and as a result have to rent, and have to battle with hundreds of others just to rent a place to live...many in the qeues are recent arrival immigrants. BTW I have not mentioned the Middle Eastern gangs burning down tobacco shops who refuse to stock their brands of cigs. How about the record numbers iof small businesses , and large building companies that have gone bust in the lastv3 years.Quote:

Labor majority into $1.60 with the books. Minority was favourite for a long time.
Dutton has really fucked this up. Bad decisions and worse judgement. Once he aligned with Fat Gina and Trump he was gone. People aren’t stupid. Regardless of the back peddling away from these influences the damage was done. It didn’t help that the LNP has a very very ordinary pool of talent. People like Clare and Chalmers tore their opposites a new one every time they tried to engage. Interesting to see if Dutton holds his seat but he may wander off into the sunset in any case.
Did he fuck it up or did he actually want the job? I've been following him through out the campaign and he just gives me the impression that he doesn't really want the job. It feels to me like his true passion in life is to "get ahead", make more money / wealth for himself and his family. Nothing wrong with it, but being a PM doesn't seem to align with this goal, especially when his strategy for reaching this goal involves flipping houses. It is completely at odds with the most pressing problem that the future PM has to attempt to fix.Quote:

He might very well have time now to spend his money and build stuff to make more.Quote:
