Under Dutton, the Liberal Party is not a 'broad church' 'sensible centre' or even a conservative party. It's a lunatic fringe RWNJ party. Dutton is like an obnoxious racist One Nation candidate but bc he's a 'Liberal', he's given credibility & media air time he doesn't deserve. #auspol #DicksonVotes

And he is highly incompetent, happy to breach international human rights, happy to breach Federal procurement guidelines on his watch …
And just a dumb arse racist.
(thanks to @thejuicemedia.bsky.social for that term)
This legacy was brought to you by Anthony Albanese, the PM who won a crushing mandate ... but then "played safe" to such an extent that the LNP were able to rebuild on his watch. #auspol
But then … Trump. Twice.
Let’s hope Australia rises above.
That is not how preferential voting works
I am as keen as anyone to see Dutton lose his seat.
Very difficult to persuade a voter to swap sides
You can cause them to not vote at all.
An #Independent in this seat may be crucial.
Mayo, was Alexander Downers seat
Thought to be an LNP fortress
their nominee Briggs was dislodged by Independent
Rebeka Sharky
Briggs was given two elections, his arrogance and thuggery
was ended by a mass swing of loyal LNP voters
Seniors and women ended it
In the great tradition of least worse voting, a high caliber
Independent could well be a crucial filter to draw first preferences away from Dutton.
But I do want to stress that leaning in on the Voldemort appearance is on him. He did not have to become Voldemort. He could have become Picard!
