Quite remarkable. Saving money by saving the public service. With cuts to consultants, contractors and Labor hire, Reprioritising, redirecting wasteful Coalition spending, Labor govt has saved almost $95 BILLION over the last 3 yrs. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Interesting that Peter Dutton’s version of complying with MP’s financial register declarations includes: Inaccurate reports Tardiness in reporting Incomplete reports And using family trusts to stash the other stuff.

Our catalogue of major reasons Peter Dutton should never be PM now numbers 85. Michelle Pini updates the list of cons. There is currently a consistent crusade by the legacy media to turn a “monster” into a credible contender for the top job but we’re not buying it. @michellepini.bsky.social

If the ABC is going to give softball interviews to "former Home Affairs secretary" Mike Pezzullo, they should really disclose to readers that he was sacked from that job for 14 breaches of the Code of Conduct

Niki Savva is absolutely on the money with her scathing assessment of Dutton & his many failings. What makes this piece even more credible is that Savva is a Lib - & she has more courage of conviction & competence than any of the rancid rabble that passes for journalism in this country right now.

This is excellent from Laura Tingle. With Dutton campaigning for PM, the media needs to lift its game and smash him on his ever elusive answers to questions on his policies. Wouldn’t that be nice 🙄 #auspol #insiders www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Peter Dutton is going to the election policy free, his real agenda hidden. That’s bad. Even worse is that fact he may get into government using that strategy. 🤦‍♂️ Peter and Gina need to come clean with their plans. #auspol

Here I was worried where’s Niki. Clearly tucked away writing this blistering piece on Dutton & the line ‘little wonder Dutton has spurned Press Club. It tests mettle. There’s no substitute for substance & he has little of it. He gets nasty’ Ouch! What’s your favourite right hook in this? #auspol

Peter Dutton’s line that having a strong public sector is about “pleasing the unions” is just wrong. It is about providing decent services to Australians, something he clearly doesn’t care about. He wants to return to mass outsourcing to their favourite consultants #insiders

In the US, we're seeing the shocking results of hard right govts. They cut back/abandon essential services, disdain the disadvantaged, disparage experts, boost inequality & bolster their own wealth. We'll see a watered down version of the US experience here if Tiny-Trump Dutton wins govt. #auspol

In Opposition the LNP blows hard about cutting govt ‘waste’. But in govt they blew billions on fat cat consultancy firms, subsidies for big business and failed defence projects while they persecuted welfare recipients & veterans. A shameful legacy. #auspol

Here’s a tip for how this all works. First they go after those they hate, then those who don’t actively support them, then those who do but are not useful for them keeping power, then those who are useful but not in the most loyal faction, then…

Peter Dutton is saying that men are missing out on promotions, jobs, you know ‘opportunities’, because of diversity. I thought I’d fact check this. There are currently 71 women out of 228 Federal Lib/LNP positions. Yep, must be tough being a bloke. #factcheck #auspol

Today the Coalition made clear if elected they would sack public sector workers, cut their pay & return to funnelling our money to the big consultants. We lose jobs, pay, expertise, services & money spent in local communities. Good for consultants profits, bad for the country

It should go without saying that this is appalling public policy. Of all the things small businesses can spend money on, business lunches are the least likely to improve productivity or business viability. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Please help pushback against Dutton and News Corp’s nuclear disinformation by sharing these very simple FACTS which show nuclear power is more expensive, slower and will contribute a tiny share of power generation as compared to renewables. The nuclear campaign is designed to undermine renewables👇🏻

Might it be possible that after 14 months of what has credibly been called a genocide, perpetrated by a man currently wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity, that maybe we don’t begin headlines with what that particular man claims.

I’m going to keep saying this. Dutton is NOT leadership material. He’s a thug, a bully, a dog whistler of division & hate & believes his path to leadership lies in chaos, division & punching down on others The ONLY reason Dutton is in contention is bec of a toxic & biased media Don’t let them win

The gender pay gap is now at its lowest recorded rate ever. This is because the Labor Govt: 1. Supported minimum wage increases 2. Banned pay secrecy clauses 3. Funded wage increases for aged care workers 4. Supported men to share in parental leave 6. Publishes gender pay gap of individual employers
