It's Election time in Australia. It's traditional don't elect Potato Head season (for all those who celebrate) where one paints the symbolic and sacrificial potatoes in bright and distracting colours.

How much bullshit does #Dutton think the Australian electorate can handle without throwing up? From his performance on the hustings to date a lot more than what we’ve seen/heard so far. Hence #PotatoHead is either a complete moron or he is take the piss and makes the electorate look like a bunch of f**wits. Neither position is tolerable for an aspiring PM. Australia… do your constitutional job!
Here’s hoping every Australian wakes up in time for #AusElection25
And then #Dutton said this:
“Aukus too has the potential to foster a new arm of our economy and transform our civil industrial base.
We will spend taxpayers’ money wisely – in a manner which has an economic multiplying effect, generates productivity, and can attract new investment.
My intention is to energise our domestic defence industry. And to re-tool the ADF with asymmetric capabilities to deter a larger adversary.”
I apologise for laughing… but there is no way these are his words. Oh, he did speak them in the House tonight, but they were not his words.. I seriously doubt #PotatoHead could offer a good explanation of the meaning of ‘asymmetric capability’ for use against China (the obvious target here).
Also, he is talking here about Tier two of #AUKUS with ne’er a mention of ‘phantom’ SSNs.

#Dutton ‘s agenda with regards to climate action and renewables is well known and documented. What I was alluding to in my toot is #PotatoHead ‘s dishonnesty. He doesn’t even bother disguising it… which says a lot for the mob who vote #LNP - More to the point, #CorporateMedia #Stokes and #Murdoch never point out the fact that the uber-hypocritical #Noaliation lies its arse off day in day out. The sooner the #LNP breaks apart into #Liberal (#IND) and #RWNJs (the rest) camps the better for Austrailan politics.
"Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has falsely claimed that interest rates are always lower under the Coalition because it manages the economy better than Labor."
I expect we'll hear lots of similar 'false' claims from #PotatoHead over the next month or so... that's what he does best... make things up to look better than Labor and say it often enough that the diehard #LNP crowd will believe it. (ALso know as #Bannon 's Gambit - spread enough shit and some will stick)
Ahhh... I pine for truth in politics. It's one thing to 'cherry pick' but it's another to outright lie like a #trumpist.

@Margaritak
I have an idea… why not send #PotatoHead as a ‘Special envoy’ to the #WhiteHouse to plead with #tRump to lift the tariffs given he is so confident about the outcome of that endeavour?
