    Anyone else get filled with rage when you see Dutton up on TV spouting nothing to the camera? Yes, people are doing it hard. But just saying that they’re doing it hard is worth nothing. What are your policies? You can say you can manage the economy effectively. How mother fucker? HOW?

    Utterly vapid gasbagging from an utterly vapid potato.

    Albanese isn’t perfect, and if you can vote independent, do so, but Dutton just isn’t a good person. That’s all that matters. Anyone who’s ever met him and couldn’t offer him money or media attention he just shrugs off and walks past. Don’t vote for empty souls.

      Who can’t vote 3rd party under a preferential system? Everyone should… I don’t think I’ve ever voted directly for a major party in my life. Labor is always last out of everything left-of-Labor.

        Well at least where I am, the Libs have covertly run independents to confuse the playing field and offer a moderate right candidate or something. Independents isn’t a guarantee for success, there is at least a 1% chance you’ll get someone who’s only slightly better than a party line drone.

        And there’s also the Greens.

    I hope our mandatory boring means we are less likely to vote Dutton in. Hopefully whats happening? In the US is enough of the deterrent for those of us actually paying attention and not wanting that BS to rip through online our safety nets. Sure if someone wants to audit the government agency with forensic accountants by all means, but we don’t need the same BS that Elonia is pulling and we certainly don’t need to be repeating any of the backwards US policies they are enacting.
