The only thing that’s going to get you fired from a Trump 2.0 cabinet is disloyalty to Trump. No act of incompetence, mismanagement, criminality, or malfeasance can get you fired. As long as you are loyal to Trump, you can pretty much do anything.

So Dutton has done a backflip on working from home. He is completely out of touch with Australian workers . He would slash the Public Service,outsource work to more expensive private contractors and punish the lowest paid Aussie workers in a heat beat .
Don’t trust Dutton .
Don’t risk Dutton .

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
