This is to the tune of Father and Son (Stevens) as sung by Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam The question on climate change Should have been really easy But Dutton got it wrong And said that he didn’t know (1/4)

Will the funding for the CSIRO and all climate change studies be suspended in a Trump type move once Dutton wins the election? If the leader won't take the word of experts in the field, then get rid of the experts. That's what has been happening in the US.

The tide of public opinion is rising against Peter #Dutton. It is lapping at his door. #auspol

Could Peter Dutton have got it wrong that the President of Indonesia was entertaining the thought of Russia having a military foothold in Indonesia via an airbase? Yes. Would Peter Dutton admit to making a mistake? No.

#Dutton had a brief moment in the public spotlight regarding the Russian airforce and Indonesia. He could have shown great leadership but ended up responding with an almost Tampa tantrum. #auspol #russia #indonesia

When #Dutton trots out his family to help make a point, and then says family shouldn't be brought into the political argy-bargy of campaigns, is there a word for that? Hypocrisy comes to mind. I could be wrong. He might just be wanting to set up a GoFundMe page so that his son can buy a house.

Dutton claims that he wants wage rises. He says that "We have an independent umpire with wages and many a vibrant economy to make the wages growth." However, he fails to tell us or be asked why there isn't an independent umpire on house prices. (1/2)

Dutton is ducking dodging and weaving, but the blows, some self-inflicted, keep coming. He looks to the corner for support and his seconds have no idea. One more blow and he'll hit the canvas. He will get up, however, he and his campaign are running out of puff. #auspol

How many losingwars has the US dragged Australia into when it hasn't been our fight? Vietnam, Afghanistan and two in Iraq come to mind. Did we win those? Did we actually achieve something for the loss of Australian lives? (1/2)

#Dutton will give more details on Coalition housing policy at campaign launch in the final week. By then many people will have voted early. Not a good strategy to win votes. Unless of course, the policy hasn't been written yet, or will be detrimental to people whose votes the Coalition needs.

Natural attrition for public service cuts. I mean if the body overseeing the patient welfare in the aged care industry is slashed, the number of deaths in aged care facilities will rise, meaning that less aged care workers and their overseers will be required. Dutton's nest of vipers at work.

To Handle Me With Care by The Traveling Wilburys So the pollies are doing the rounds They rise like zombies from the ground Everywhere you look they can be found And act like they care Reputation’s horrible They are barely tolerable With policies deplorable Wish they were not there 1/5
