A reminder that the problem Australia has in its engagements with the United States is that the Morrison Liberal government of which Dutton was a senior cabinet minister decided to relocate our STRATEGIC OIL RESERVE in that country in 2020. So they literally have us over a barrel. #leadersdebate25

The word choice is 100% chef-kiss. "Verballing" is when a copper deliberately misquotes a suspect to stitch them up in court. #Auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I want Labor re-elected because I am confident in the ability of Anthony Albanese to lead a government for all Australians. And I am more convinced than ever that Dutton doesn’t give a shit about anyone who doesn’t share his personal worldview. #leadersdebate25

So Peter Dutton thinks it is a catastrophic failure on the prime minister and foreign minister’s part that they did not know that a non existent Russian military base request to Indonesia did not happen. No scruples, no balance.

3 Australian women have been murdered in a 24hr period this week. 19 Australian women have been murdered so far this year. Both the media and most politicians are silent on this. Thanks @sherelemoody.bsky.social for reporting on this horrific epidemic. #DV #VAW #StopKillingWomen #auspol #AusVotes25

Peter Dutton made reference to a non-existent statement by the Indonesian President! Srsly?! So now he's making up stuff about foreign leaders. Yet he won't admit he made a mistake?! He should apologise to the Indonesian President and the Indonesian people. #ForeignAffairs #auspol #AusVotes25

Also, I do not give a flying f*ck about whether leaders like each other, what they are like away from politics, whether they are cranky or likable or funny or remember your birthday. What. Do. They. Do. With. Power. That is what matters.

So it turns out Amelia Hamer (Lib candidate for Kooyong who spruiked herself as a renter) is not only a 2x landlord with properties in London and Canberra but also the beneficiary of a $20m family trust.

Devastating ipsos poll for Peter Dutton as barely a quarter of voters, 27%, approve of his performance on the campaign trail with 47% disapproving. This is the lowest poll performance rating & lowest figure as preferred PM of any candidate this century #auspol www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Liberal Party sources reveal Albanese Govt upset Canberra contractors by rehiring them as public servants instead: "They loved their life as contractors. ... They were paid more." No kidding. Just reinforces @australiainstitute.org.au research that public servants are better value.

six in 10 fee-free TAFE places have been taken up by women since the program started in January 2023. This is a great result, given Jobs and Skills Australia’s estimate that around 40 per cent of new jobs in the next decade will require a VET qualification.' #auspol

Given how much more fucked up the world is about to get, the question isn't are you better off than you were three years ago - it's what do you think the next three years are going to be like and who do you want making the decisions? And that's not just about a PM, but the whole parliament.

Asked what policies he had for women, Dutton offered a fuel discount for “women driving to work or driving kids around.” What about safety, Peter? Early education? Workforce participation? Seriously — vote independent. Independence works for women.
