Aaaah! The old ‘only joking’ defence for gobsmacking misogyny. Violence against women is not a joke. Ever. www.smh.com.au/politics/vic...

Pretty much the common trait of every authoritarian regime is that they dissappear people

Scoop: It appears as though the Victorian Liberals have accidentally given unprecedented insight into what data they collect on voters because of a wrongly configured email provider. Fields include "Predicted Chinese", "Predicted Jewish" and more. www.crikey.com.au/20...

I'm so looking forward to the LNP implosion when they tank at the election. Probably won't be quite as spectacular as WA, or SA, or even Victoria, but it will be glorious to behold 😂 will they lurch even further to the Christian right I wonder? #auspol

Just to reassure people, Peter Dutton has as much chance of leading the Liberal coalition to victory as I have of becoming the Pope He's spent the past 3 years grabbing headlines without putting in the work on substance & policies and now it's coming home to bite him A guaranteed failure of a man

Strength to all trans women today. The bigots are out in force, but always remember their hate says everything about them not you. Trans women are women, and a bigot is always a bigot.

Can we just call an earlier election date because I'm not sure I'm gonna get through another 2 to 3 weeks of this utter garbage! #auspol

"Dutton keeps talking about women as either vulnerable (getting out of a 'messy relationship') or as mothers." And there we have it. Like John Howard, #TrumpLite's views on gender equity are locked in the 1950s. #ausvotes #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In late 2024, Peter Dutton was riding high, with polls signaling a potential prime ministerial victory. Just four months later, his path to power has unraveled. theaimn.net/poll-positio...

Dutton lying about a statement from the Indonesian govt is too stupid for words. Haven’t seen the Dunning–Kruger effect so perfectly displayed for many a year.

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.

You can tell the US deep state is floundering post-Trump by how badly these attempts to make Nat Sec an issue this election are going. First it was the China research trip, now the Russia-Indonesia hoax. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

FFS how many times do we have to listen to the WHEN DID YOU KNOW bollocks from Dutton! No doubt soon to be amplified by the mainstream media ... Jeebsus wept! "Dutton: ‘catastrophic failure’ if Wong and Albanese didn’t know about reports of Russia’s request." #auspol

If you bring your kids into the campaign, you’ve got to expect the questions. Is the multimillionaire Dutton stumping up for the deposit, or is he too bloody mean?

The morning I took time out from the hustings to respond to an Information Commissioner request to rebut Defence’s arguments for not giving me info about the now abandoned Collins subs Life of Type Exten$ion. I had to be careful in my response to avoid perjury 😂👇. #FOI #auspol

“Mr Dutton, why did you use your son to spruik your housing policy?” “Well, Brian, it’s perfectly simple. We asked around at campaign HQ and, for the life of us, we couldn’t find anyone who didn’t own at least one home.” #auspol

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

It’s a demand-side subsidy, so it will simply boost house prices. It will blow a huge hole in the personal income tax base that will never be recovered. #DontRiskDutton #LNPNeverAgain #auspol #aupol
