"This strategy isn't about policy; it’s about inflaming culture wars to energise his base and distract from his lack of real solutions to Australia’s economic and social challenges."

Never a truer word spoken. Dutton is anathema to any right-minded, compassionate, rational and truly caring person who is concerned for *all* in our nation and who values equity and equality, collaboration rather than division and people before profit.

Trump's behaviour, ideas and rhetoric are appallingly divisive, abusive and prejudiced, as well as containing many lies and disinformation. Dutton follows that model and if allowed to *lead* the LNP to electoral victory will seriously harm not only Australia but the collective of rational national governments that seek collaboration and synthesis that benefits all rather than division and atrocities such as the US is funding Israel to commit in the Middle East.

Do not let Dutton and the LNP win the next election. I don't claim that Albanese and the ALP have done everything well and accept that it is reasonable to consider that they have done some things very poorly. However, of the only two parties that have any real chance of forming government, if you think things are bad under the ALP then believe me, they will be so much worse under the LNP. If you doubt that, you need only consider what appalling decisions and damage Trump has managed to create in only a matter of weeks.

Thank you, George, though you say far more than I do and usually more competently. However, if I can contribute usefully, that does please me. ☮️

George, you are too kind but thank you for, as is true of most of us, I think, my ego enjoys the odd stroke, now and again, though I do my best to keep it in check. 😜

Ye, nah mate! One fool can’t poison Australia - Australia is a vile dumb settler colony and the European inhabitants are transient. They will be here as long as there is money. It is a rotten grotesque society - poison can only be an improvement.
