No surprise. It’s the same broken record on endless replay in Australia‘s pathetic right-wing echo chamber. Murdoch‘s Newscorpse rags are steadily fading in relevance, as is the policy-bereft LNP for whom they serve as a propaganda machine. They have no vision and no plan but to stay in power for self-enrichment, and their only tricks are three word slogans and weaponising fear and division. This “story” stinks of a last-ditch desperate attempt to arrest their plummeting polls.

Even if the reported story were fact, Australia has no more leverage over whom the Indonesians allows base rights to on their sovereign territory than Indonesia does in preventing Australian from becoming a US military outpost which we have been doing for decades. Dutton’s obnoxious and abrasive personality would have even less influence with our neighbours. So what does he plan to do differently? Let me guess, they will reveal the details after the election. Meaning they haven’t thought about it and have no plan and no solution. Just idiotic thought bubbles, like on every other issue.

And now this in the Fairfax media:

Coalition demands ‘incredibly important’ state rule out Russian warplane visits

These LNP morons are not even in government yet that idiot James Patterson has the audacity to make “demands” of our neighbouring state, Indonesia, to give assurances about their sovereign matters !!!

Imagine an opposition politician in Indonesia demanding assurances from the Australian government that it won’t play host or provide access to any more US military assets or facilities …

Honestly, I’m utterly disappointed and unimpressed with Albanese and his government, but comparatively they leave the LNP fools in the dust. Dutton and his minions are a national embarrassment and are totally unfit to govern Australia. That’s why Albo and Co and doing so well in the polls. The opposition are a collection of imbeciles.

To a sociopath, facts are of interest, only to the extent that they can be weaponized

In this case, Dutton wishes to show his American Master what a good boy he is, keeping the Australian population stoked for a war that in no wise benefits them.

Russian man bad.

Real power doesn't change hands it remains where it always was - the monied elite - from that aspect it doesn't make an iota of difference who ends up in Kirribilli.

The main difference between the two is that Albanese is far more polished then Dutton.

Albanese embracing AUKUS played into the globalist agenda and I don't expect Dutton to be any different from my perspective neither of them are fighting to be independent from their present masters but to maintain the rule from afar as the submissive bootlickers that they truly are

Both were dragging their heels when it came to standing up for Julian Assange.

And remember how Albanese tried to ram the digital bill through, there should be quite a bit of material available on his government attempts at eroding civil rights.

Sure Dutton is no better, where are the real alternatives?

Excellent article George. Dark times indeed if Dutton et al win. Dark times anyway as long as we remain a pathetically complaint military outpost of Trumpland.

divisive politics, of which dutton and his 'crwth' are the apotheoses, are fading fast as cratonic solutions to a liveable planet. tribalism will soon be over as increscently multifarious groups realize our respective futures will be dumped into the trash tip of human history w/out increscent levels of cooperation, not fragmentation spawned by hispid acrimonies.
