Apart from leaking to the SMH and the Age like a rusty colander, this would have to be the most tiresome little man in the Australian public service
Hyperbolic, publicity mad, sinophobic, constantly beating his own drum when absolutely nobody has asked - don't ever get between him and a headline

The orange felon claims he’s made 200 trade deals so far.
Which really means he hasn’t made one single deal because there hasn’t been one single trade agreement announced. He’s a pathological liar and a fraud.

A reminder that Andrew Hastie - despite his natty haircut - is anti-gay marriage & comes from a family of deeply religious creationists, with a father who has quite the track record of patronising women

Andrew Hastie explains reason he doesn’t agree he “got it wrong” to say that women are not capable of combat roles in the ADF, saying it’s coz he is just being “honest”
Suggests it’s just his own personal misogynistic views
But says don’t worry, it’s not Coalition policy! 🤦♂️#abc

Lordy. I’ve just realised it’s 50 years since I covered the 1975 federal election campaign, Fraser v Whitlam. For the Nine Network, with the late Peter Harvey. At the time I thought Fraser was an arsehole…but he was head and shoulders above the current Dutton rabble.

🟠 Draining Australia of gas: exporting over 80% of Australia’s gas
🟠 Getting over half the gas they export royalty free
🟠 Never paying PRRT on the gas they export
🟠 Price gouging us for our own gas
