  I’m sure if elected he’ll find some pretext to bring these policies back (or something even worse).

    Yep, good to hear the in-laws echoing criticism of Dutton this weekend - because they’re appalled he’s intending to copy Trump and Musk

  Dutton is a hard right conservative. People like him want crack down on everything, wind back social programs like Medicare, get stuck into workers pay and conditions and screw up our relationship with major trading partners (like China). It’s pretty obvious that when he came out with those brain fart policies, he was speaking from the heart. The upshot is that he will revert as soon as he is PM.

  “Instead of removing 41,000 workers, the Coalition says it will now rely on natural attrition – or workers quitting their jobs – to reduce the public service.”

  Oh great so instead of getting severance pay they just make your job hell and wait for you to give up and quit

  Great news honestly.

  The implications is that their strategists have told them that the stench on Trump and Musk is going to sink them unless they can differentiate themselves.

  Shit is gonna get real in the US this week.

  The further Dutton has to distance himself from Trump the better.

    Except he’s only doing it to get elected. Once in you know he’s going to hitch back up to the Trump train

      Sure.

      At least there’s not going to be a wave of Trumpian style election promises though.

      I’m hoping that him backing down from stuff won’t play well with his base. They like someone who appears tough.

      Albanese drawing a hard line on the biosecurity/pharmaceutical stuff with the US is a nice juxtaposition.

  The importance of internal public sector roles such as communications is something we need to continue to talk about to people who are worried about governments wasting money. We need to make it apparent to everyone that they are essential for basic, frontline public systems to work effectively. Our schools, hospitals, pollution control, roads… all rely on ‘backend’ systems and communication between different arms of government.
  The major tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas (yes, we’re talking the US, not a poverty stricken nation) is becoming a problem because there are no communications between public health departments and agencies - because Trump has halted their funding.
