I just can’t believe we’re doing this.
Not a single credible expert says it’s good for us.
The only reason we’re doing it is so Labor is seen to be strong on defence & so they don’t get wedged by LNP/Murdoch/Stokes/Nine/ABC (they will anyway) #auspol

So when do we get to the point when legacy media all realizes that he really did intend to do all the crazy shit he said he was going to do during the campaign that they ignored or shrugged off because it was just Trump being Trump hyperbole?

I’m more disappointed in Albo than most. But the notion that the illiterate, racist thug and Queensland ex-cop Dutton would be a better PM is a joke. Dutton is a flake, an inch-deep cynical opportunist funded by fascists like Gina Rinehart. He needs to be kicked into the dustbin of history.

The amazing thing about Peter Dutton's claim here is that while he make it sound like a difficult task, this would actually be a slower roll-out than what was likely achieved in Australia 2024.

Wondering what Millionaire Peter Dutton up to today?
I've just been perusing Peter Dutton's speeches & media releases over the past two years and he loves to take a dig at "wealthy elites"
I am here to beg you - every one of you - to always, always refer to him as Millionaire Peter Dutton from now

Some conservatives are calling him out for his crypto scam,even crypto bros calling it a scam.
Maga are pissed that his inauguration has been moved indoors as they’ve spent thousands to get to dc.
