What they call an ‘applied’ social scientist. Disciple of Brandolini's Law. Also captivated by invariably BS-infused politics and media, which is a bit of a contradiction. The only ‘abundance’ is stupidity. Everything else is precious. Long-termist.

Dutton has always been underestimated. At first we all thought he was just another charm-free LNP weasel. A thug with delusions of adequacy. Wrong. He was an epic clusterfuck, as popular as anal warts. Ironically he’s had a bigger impact on the party than Robert Menzies - just not in a good way.

Worst leader in decades alright. He destroyed the Liberal Party by pushing them all the way to the hard right & turning them into a fringe party. There is no prospect of them ever governing again, all thanks to Peter Dutton & his colleagues who were too weak to call him out.
