Desperate Dutton turns to scare tactics in his own electorate

The opposition leader hopes to frighten and divide the community, writes David Grogan.

The Sydney Morning Herald
With the Liberals distracted, the teals quietly snuck up in this blue-ribbon seat

It is one of the Liberalsโ€™ safest Victorian seats, but suddenly the electorate of Flinders is in play.

Earnest chat on RN Brekkie early this morn twixt Sally & Melissa on Sat's election, with them entirely discussing potato/Liebs vs elbow/Labs as if that's the whole story. It's just endless bullshit propagation of the enduring myth of 2PP, utterly... wilfully... ignoring that these loser parties now command <60% of the electorate support. If i weren't such a pacifist i might have begun violently chucking cushions. ๐Ÿคญ

I utterly deplore that the creep-peeps wot go on n on n on about Laura Norder, in election run-ups, never ever ever bother to mention or acknowledge upstream causal matters. For these nasty arseholes offenders just wake up & decide to do crime, without any factors explaining it. Ergo their pathological fetish to simply incarcerate greater & greater numbers, but do nothing whatsoever about the structural causal factors, plainly exposes their cynicism &/or idiocy. Fuck them sideways.

@timrichards Fwiw i would prefer fixed four year terms. I acknowledge potential downsides, but i balance that against the certain, demonstrated, age-old downsides of the stupid current system, wherein if we're lucky we get five minutes of governing & policy work, separated by over two years of electioneering. The current system is totes dysfunctional.

I'm still catching up with my timelines, but already have gleaned a sense that a swag of Oz fediversers chose to watch a show last night twixt a potato & a sellout.

There just ain't enough money, chocolate, nor coffee available to ever induce me to endure any of those pointless meaningless spectacles. Ugh. Dunno how you peeps could stomach it, much less actually want to ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฏ
