Copycat Musk or copycat Trump are electoral poison in Australia. Don’t interrupt a fool taking their elixir of power.

dulcify2.bsky.social•48 days ago

Ah yes, the Minister for Inefficiency (and treason)

ericbanana.bsky.social•48 days ago

Donald who .. 🤨🤨🤨

The LNP are backing away from their copycat Trump & Musk playbook faster than potential customer at a Tesla shop.

For now …

Smoke and mirrors during the campaign.

nick-higgins.bsky.social•48 days ago

Should Dutton ever get in - hopefully never - Trump will immediately return with Gina in his coattails.

omatto.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yep just like Trump lied about project 2025.

sirbant.bsky.social•48 days ago

Jacinta Price-Is-Right and Madam Hume Highway really demonstrated how to waste public money by spending big money on "cost of living crisis meetings."Trip cost $21,084 and was organised by cost of living committee.

kitykatz.bsky.social•48 days ago

It's curious that the Shadow Minister for Government Efficiency has been nowhere to be seen in Dutton's recent attacks on supposed govt inefficiencies.

If the role was anything more than a token political stunt, Price would be front and centre, leading the charge against inefficiency. #auspol

The billionaires can afford to leave the country and take their money with them. It might seem like a great idea to heavily tax the wealthy, in reality they have the luxury to live anywhere they want

kitykatz.bsky.social•47 days ago

If a billionaire relocates to a tax haven but was never paying tax here anyway, were they ever really here in any meaningful sense?

Other than as a leech, growing fat sucking on the lifeblood of the people they exploit?

Ask the people who lived under a communist regime how that worked out for them. You might just remember the Berlin Wall was built to stop the East Germans getting out to the evil capitalist west.

kitykatz.bsky.social•47 days ago

How is that relevant?

Billionaires make money in communist countries, as they do anywhere else.

Ask some Russian oligarchs how it worked out for them.

guitar69.bsky.social•47 days ago

Communist ideology “ the monarchy or the rich are the oppressors “ and we will fix it by making you all the same.

Gina lives in Singapore for tax purposes

Really?? What a big surprise 😮

I hope someone knowledgeable is keeping an eye on Price’s assets give these rolls seem to become just grifts as soon as the public take their eye off them.

ericarfabee.bsky.social•46 days ago

And Price running it 😳😳😳

revardin.bsky.social•48 days ago

Putting Jacinta Numpty Price in charge of govt efficiency is the second worst idea in history . Putting Dutton in as PM is the first worst idea.

hen-dog.bsky.social•48 days ago

Dutton won't be pleased with you, Simon.

debbiefearon.medsky.social•48 days ago

Her NT senate seat is up for reelection this year and she might be in for a shock. The CLP brand ain’t that great right now.

hagatha42.bsky.social•46 days ago

No, unfortunately she has three more years before facing voters

debbiefearon.medsky.social•46 days ago

Not true. She is up for Re-election this year. Her corflutes are everywhere here in Alice Springs.

hagatha42.bsky.social•46 days ago

Must have looked at out of date info on AEC search
This is a good thing
Look forward to NT voters fixing their Price problem

debbiefearon.medsky.social•46 days ago

The NT senate seats run differently from other states. It is hard to find accurate info on them online.

angrybeanie.com•46 days ago

Territory seats are up for election every three years

kscottedwards.bsky.social•48 days ago

Dutton's wearing the same jocks and adhering to the Mango Mussolini playbook- I'm sure GR has her own copy to keep her minions on track.

picci0909.bsky.social•46 days ago

Praying a large percentage of Australians will vote in an unforgiving manner for what these three arseholes did to indigenous Australians. May Gina, Dutton and Price wake up post election in equal excruciating pain.

milesrandjack.bsky.social•48 days ago

Could there possibly be a better time for a refreshed ALP government to tax the hell out of billionaires?

mithril123.bsky.social•48 days ago

It’s ok Simon. The LNP DOGE bus is in full reverse gear. Just ran over Whitlam’s anti-woke LNP candidate who took the Gina inspired trump playbook too literally.
Expecting the Bus to revert to type once election is over.

seancaddy.bsky.social•48 days ago

Amazing that someone would think that they could win an election here by copying Trump and Musk! What a stupid arsehole!!

angecat.bsky.social•48 days ago

Promising to make government more efficient is one of the sure tells of a grifter

antgclift.bsky.social•48 days ago

Dutto gotta go.

forbestonow.bsky.social•48 days ago

The ABC's downplaying (saying a total of hundreds of thousands) of the scale of the protests against DOGE and Trump just helps minimise the risks of Dutton's approach. I have yet to see Australian media recognize the anger it has created. Temu Trump just get away with non specific soundbites.

motithewonderdog.bsky.social•48 days ago

The Coalition’s ...leader in the Senate, Michaelia Cash, has hitched the Dutton wagon to Trump’s horse.

“The American people, they expect action, and that is what they’re getting, and they’ll get the exact same attitude under a Peter Dutton government.”

bingo2025.bsky.social•48 days ago

What is she planning on cutting (and replacing with contractors)? Nurses, Police, Ambos, Teachers,The AEC, ABS, DVA, Department of Health and Aging, Defence, Treasury, The Royal Australian Mint etc. The LNP have lost the plot on this ridiculous brain blowout (and everything else).

renewit54.bsky.social•47 days ago

Not sure how they think we don't notice the Price grifting record.

castlebar13.bsky.social•48 days ago

Is she around?

jayjaybee52.bsky.social•48 days ago

Because "government efficiency" is going so well in the USA

mick-minion.bsky.social•48 days ago

Dutton dumps Ben Britton from Whitlam and puts in... wait for it..

Nathaniel Gerard Smith the anti gay marriage crusader

terry1956.bsky.social•46 days ago

Smith is also an anti abortion crusaders

madnana.bsky.social•48 days ago

She can start with her mother

lillipetal.bsky.social•47 days ago

“the amazing Jacinta Price you should say”

twangmaker.bsky.social•48 days ago

If people think Dutton is trying to do what Trump did, it's the #1 issue that will turn voters away from him.

So keep it up, Simon 😄👍

jpeacejpeace.bsky.social•48 days ago

Calling this a policy is a little too generous IMO.

It's dog whistling.

wilful.bsky.social•48 days ago

A woman whose professional experience extends to Alice Springs council and a half-born pop career is exactly who you want forensically going through the $786 billion budget.

pborwall.bsky.social•48 days ago

I doubt it would be 'forensic' 😄

smped.bsky.social•48 days ago

Brief reminder that after the Voice, Price stated openly that her next target was the transgender community. Putting her in a DOGE-like position will clearly have an intent to attack this community, exactly like Musk. Don't think anti-trans attacks can't explode here. This is the setup.
