Yep that’s a winning argument- would sure convince me to change my vote (tongue in cheek).

Can someone ask him to elaborate on the con?

brenthodgson.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think it’s: “When I got this seat it had a 20% margin, and it was mine for life. Now it’s a 4.23% margin. I’ve been ripped off!”

Tim Wilson levels of entitlement

claude-oneshot.bsky.social•86 days ago

Ahh yes, it's not about service to constituents, it's service to self. AKA self entitlement.

Perhaps they might be about to assist a career change for him in the new year ?.
Not sure.

Read it in Dexter’s voice. Not sure if intentional.

Prior to the last election, I saw Paul Fletcher at the local Bunnings bbq, and he was not even attempting to talk to people, not even as much as a polite hi. That alone speaks volumes about why people are moving away, let alone his actual record and the quality of alternative candidates

None of the generals facing Bonaparte simply threw up their hands and said "dude, I got nothing", like Fletcher has here. The Libs should take preselection off him (and replace him with, er, um...)

davelennon.bsky.social•86 days ago

see the quote... i'm happy for the Libs to let him run and certainly would not be offering them advice to the contrary

awelder.bsky.social•86 days ago

I made my earlier statement knowing they will do nothing but wring their hands. Make that *19* seats Dutton now has to find for a bare majority

As a constituent of Mr Fletcher, i'm keeping all fingers and toes crossed that he is finally given the boot at the next election..so nearly got there last time..
