Hands up if you’re tired of hearing what Peter Dutton has to say.

In short Dutton cannot be trusted. His support for the second referendum evaporated almost before the claim was made. He would have been sitting around the Cabinet Table when the legislation to allow offshore wind turbines was discussed and approved and he is now making claims that he will sort out Australia’s transition to ‘net zero’ after the election proffering a solution that doesn’t stack up environmentally or economically.
Dutton wants to burden the country with an uncosted, untried energy system that is many times more expensive than the logical alternative, while harping about the cost of living. Talk about champagne tastes on beer budgets!
Trust me – I’m a politician
Dutton has given up dogwhistles for bullhorns on the subject of immigration. His announcement of a fossil fuel-crafted energy policy is equally consonant with the global right.
The danger for the rest of us is that this forges a feedback loop. The right, fossil fuel-funded and connected, will increase the impact of the climate crisis. That rolling catastrophe provokes price pain and more displacement, which meat the right can feed upon.
The fact-based world needs to work out how we prevent the apocalypse the right is creating.

So we have an aging fleet of coal fired power stations that are getting increasingly unreliable and an Opposition Leader that has a solution that is optimistically available in the 2040s. Regardless of Paris commitments, climate wars and anything else – what does Peter Dutton think is going to produce power in years between the demise of old coal fired power stations and the nuclear future? It wouldn’t be renewables by any chance?
It’s a pity someone hasn’t asked the question.

The decline in the number of women elected to the House of Representatives, its reluctance to implement practical reforms such as quotas, ought to be a wake-up call for the Liberals, for whom History seems to have decided, “It’s Time.”
Of deeper concern, however, is the re-emergence of veneration for the strong man in politics, a fallacy once believed to have been consigned to the dustbin of history, is now enjoying a type of renaissance across the globe. George Santayana wrote,
You can be sure Dutton’s getting advice from America. Will he be turning to Pentecostalists and the Godbotherers again as they helped Morrison more than Abbott the mad monk but failed Turnbull? If he does will he be offending the Zionist Lobby?
It’s widely acknowledged that Tony Abbott came to be Prime Minister because he continually listed some ‘critical’ failures of the then Rudd and Gillard Governments using three-word slogans. Current Opposition Leader Dutton seems to be attempting to follow the same strategy however he seems to be having difficulty in finding a line of attack that cannot be easily debunked.
The Albanese Government has demonstrated that substantial policy changes can be made so they are beneficial to a lot more Australians. The political battle can also be won. The more beneficial change that occurs the more evidence there will be that Dutton’s scattergun approach is similar to the boy crying wolf. The ALP has a chance here to embed itself in government for a generation – the question is do they want to take it?

Peter Dutton and Selective Outrage ( By Rachel Withers and The Politics ) The media needs to take a good hard look at itself, and the racist moral panic it has enabled One can’t help but wonder whether certain members of the Coalition and the media were secretly thrilled to hear that two of the detainees released under the High Court’s NZYQ ruling had allegedly reoffended. The news has become the story of the day, dominating front pages and interviews and Senate motions, with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton hysterically ramping up his calls for the ministers for home affairs and immigration to resign, while stoking fears of further “attacks”. (One former detainee, a sex offender, has been charged with indecent assault against a woman in Adelaide, the other with drug possession. Both are “entitled to the presumption of innocence”, says the Australian Lawyers Alliance, as is a third ex-detainee who has today been arrested for breaching reporting requirements.) It’s worth pointing out, again, that offenders who have served their sentences are released into the community all the time.

Yes, and the biggest investor in the Quit Campaign is claimed to be the tobacco industry. Ask Peter Dutton and he will tell you the fossil fuel industry isn’t a threat to whales as much as wind farms are. He’ll quote you a fake study un peer-reviewed study. That’s Free Speech. It’s protected by law and worthy of front-page Murdoch-supported press and opinion.
The fossil fuel lobby has had a busy year on the eco-camouflage front. Earlier this year, interest started to rumble and rage against the stranding of humpback whales on the east coast of the United States. Suddenly, opponents of wind turbine technology – and renewable technology more broadly – had identified an invaluable, if tenuous nexus: a link between whale mortality and offshore wind farms.
The greatest threat to various whale populations lies in fishing, ship strikes, and oceanic disruptions arising from climate change. As, it would seem, those figures in eco-camouflage such as Dutton and Canavan, who continue to coddle fossil fuel companies intent on seismic blasting and offshore drilling.
The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, was left unsatisfied by the proposals. As a proud, demagogic hater of civil liberties, he feels that prolonged punishment is the preferred formula. How this will be done constitutionally is not something that bothers his minute, vengeful imagination. But he proved enough of a fantasist to link the release of the detainees to the threat of rising antisemitism in Australia, a cavalier effort verging on the imbecilic.

We have been down this road before. In 2006, Alyawarre woman Pat Anderson was appointed, together with Rex Wild, KC, as a board of inquiry with four terms of reference relating to sexual abuse of Aboriginal children in the Northern Territory. Despite the comparable incidence of such sexual abuse in the main and regional towns, the focus – at least in the media – was more on remote Aboriginal communities and on the suggestion made by a person initially identified as a “youth worker” that there were paedophile rings in the community in which he had been living and working. Long after, this story unravelled, with confirmation the claimed “youth worker” was in fact an assistant secretary in the Commonwealth government Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination, reporting directly to then Indigenous Affairs minister Mal Brough, and had not been residing in the community in question.

Politics is a game for Dutton by no means an application for the job of providing a service for a whole Nation
It seems the Coalition under Dutton isn’t planning to work with the government anytime soon. Dutton and his cohort are throwing whatever they think it takes out there to go negative. Any positive measures (such as a second referendum to acknowledge First Nations people in the Constitution) are reversed almost before they are announced. After all, absolute opposition eventually got Abbott the Prime Ministership. ‘Back to the Future’ was a successful movie franchise and Dutton’s betting it is a good political strategy as well.

He fell flat on his face even before his lap was completed claiming Albo was disloyal to our allies when UK Canada Germany India all abstained. Then America who voted No joined Albo in calling for a “Humanitarian Pause” while Dutton yelled “Keep bombing” He’s really is a tragic figure standing alone wedged because even Israelis and Jews are now protesting against Netanyahu’s War. Is he Major TJ King or Jack D Ripper out of Dr Strangelove?
So there he was, tragedy and farce all at once, the grasper, the lurcher, as though he can see it all laid out so clearly before him: the crushing election loss, the disappointment, the utter existential futility of it all. Dutton as Trump, minus the charisma. A man without a conscience, with no nagging sense of public duty, no talent for government or leadership, but plenty of scope for stinging humiliation.

Peter Dutton’s post-Voice victory lap
Peter Dutton politically wedged himself when he declared Albanese wasn’t supporting our allies by his recent UN abstention. He could only be referring to Israel and America because the UK, Canada, Germany, and India did the same and abstained. However, the next day after Dutton opened his mouth America joined Albanese in their demand for a “Humanitarian Pause” to what the Israelis were doing to the Palestinians both in Gaza and the West Bank. Dutton supports it. Even Israel is split on what Netanyahu is doing leaving Dutton to explain which allies he’s actually referring to. France can hardly be regarded an ally anymore the LNP screwed that. So who the fuck is Dutton referring to?
The Dutton/News Corp line on what is allowed to be said about Israel and Palestine here, the right-wing politically correct framing, is that Israel is automatically right, must be reflexively supported, and that Palestinians exist only as a security threat to “the Middle East’s only democracy”, and their suffering is trivial compared to that of Israelis.

Dutton is adopting the same approach that Tony Abbott used where you just disagree with everything the government does and makes it impossible for them to achieve anything. Of course, this might work well in Opposition but, as Tony showed, it means that once you take charge, you have no idea what to do, because just about the only thing that Abbott did was set up a number of Royal Commissions.

Peter Dutton ran a campaign telling us Indigenous people are Australians no different from you and me and that the ” yes “vote only divides us. He now wants a Royal Commission not on the sexual abuse of children in the Nation per se but one focused specifically on the Indigenous community. He wants a financial audit of the money received by Indigenous communities. He doesn’t want an investigation into the sex trafficking industry yes “industry exclusively White. He’s not interested in child molestation among the Church and youth groups or any government Institutions. Solea a Royal Commission into Aborigines who he and Jacinta Price shouldn’t be regarded as exceptional.
Why was Warren Mundine given $325K for a TV program on Murdoch’s Sky News? I’d go along with that if that’s what Dutton means by an audit into where $4.5B actually went. I suspect Stuart Robert might have an idea. Who actually did profit from the cash card might be a useful start. How much actually reaches the people in remote communities. Why haven’t the Child Justice Royal Commission recommendations been acted on? Are we Institutional racists when it comes to Health, Education, Housing, Jobs, and the Law are FN people really treated equally?
Be careful what you wish for Mr Dutton,
You are a product of settler-colonialism, a nation created first on lies The ones like Terra Nullius then through the removal and attempted elimination of the people who lived in the territory before you as evidenced in the frontier wars. Your ilk killed for this country. Settler-colonisers don’t just remove people off their land. They remove their historical places, monuments, evidence of their history oral and physical, all traces of their existence. “Boom oops sorry we didn’t mean that” said Rio Tinto in 2022. They demand Assimilation. Both you, Jacinta Price and Tony Abbott claim there are “Only Australians”. So if there is no victim, there is no crime. The criminals then are the “undeserving indigenous” and they need policing, a Royal Commission because you want to prove they are less than you. Just as was done when Terra Nullius failed. Indigenous Australians were fauna not human. If the territory culturally cleansed of the indigenous character given to it by those who lived then, it is open to be forced fed a new one and that’s what settler Colonists want ASSIMILATION

Dutton is sadistically politicizing trauma in exactly the way the LNP has always done. They did with Asylum seekers. Desperate people were left to suffer in Limbo for over a decade or more for the sake of LNP’s political need to win. “We don’t know” then meant not doing anything but “Stop Them”- It killed people then and is doing the same today. Asylum seekers were left incarcerated in tropical sweatholes that nobody was allowed to talk about. Dutton repeated that with Robodebt singling out the desperate for punishment and now it’s indigenous Australians who will have to feel the pain of his jackboot yet again. For how many more years?
Dutton has been the king of “do nothing as the Health, Immigration, and Home Affairs Minister we all saw and felt him doing nothing
Doing nothing is always an option – but generally not a good one. To blindly accept the divisive and fear filled arguments of Dutton, Price and their fellow travellers to do nothing is a disservice to your intelligence and the nation. If you don’t know – do the research and make up your own mind.

The attempt by Mike Pezzullo to reintroduce Defence Notices is a concerning act of trying to stifle press freedom, writes Dr Alison Broinowski.
Dutton claims “fraud” has been allowed by indulging in Divisive Indigenous Policies and is now calling for a “Robodebt audit” on the most disadvantaged people in the country
A political figure with a genuine interest in improving the efficiency of Indigenous programs would recognise this. But that’s not Dutton, and that’s not his Indigenous Australians spokeswoman Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who rejects the need for any Indigenous-specific programs or even an Indigenous affairs portfolio.
The No campaign has already peddled long-debunked lies massively overstating the value of Indigenous programs. That paves the way for the argument that it must be cut back, with an “audit” as the pretext. Notice Dutton’s language: “a travesty to see money taken away from those who are most deserving of it”, compared with those “misappropriating” it; “Australians have worked hard and paid their taxes, expecting that the taxes to be spent in accordance with the law”. That is, this isn’t merely poor policy on the part of governments acting with good intentions, but deliberate criminality — a fraud being perpetrated on taxpayers by malicious actors siphoning money away from “deserving” communities.
While one might wonder why the Coalition allowed this fraud to continue while it was in government, it acts as a rejoinder to the Yes camp’s argument that a Voice to Parliament would enable money to be spent more effectively, by identifying the real problem as deliberate fraud.

What always struck me at the time was that Mike Pezzullo was the most go-to Public Servant in the country when questions arose for Peter Dutton to answer. One wondered at the time, who was in fact the Minister. That was while Immigration was about to collapse and when Dutton took Pezzullo to Home Affairs it seemed necessary because Dutton was totally incompetent. There in plain sight it seemed Pezzullo for all intent and purpose was the Home Affairs Minister and not simply the Public Servant.
Journalists from The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and Sixty Minutes have at last exposed the efforts by Mike Pezzullo, Secretary of Home Affairs, to influence government in favour of conservative politicians and by insisting that press freedom be stifled.

What Peter Dutton and the “No” crowd have adopted in Australia
Fired Fox News commentator Tucker Carson, for instance, screeches manically that, because of immigration, “eventually there will be no more native-born Americans.” Immediately following that comment comes former Grand Wizard Duke saying, “We’ve got to start protecting our race.”
Donald Trump is then shown at a rally (with several Black people behind him wearing “Blacks for Trump” T-shirts) saying about Covid treatments, “If you’re white, you have to go to the back of the line. Discriminating against white people!” Again, there’s a cut to Duke stating, “There is racial discrimination going on right now in this country against massive numbers of white Americans.”
All too sadly, it didn’t take much effort then, nor would it now, to demonstrate that the racist “great replacement theory” that contends white Americans are being radically displaced by immigrants underlies an ever-fiercer defense of so-called Christian nationalist identity. And in our time, that defense has been essential to the rise of what has become the Trumpublican Party and the fierce growth of white racism that’s gone with it.

And my guess is that he’ll be blamed for any political unrest that a failed Recognition and Voice referendum will engender. And there’ll be plenty of that! He’s a goner, but his vitriol and spitefulness will never be forgotten. Being publicly dismissive of respectful requests by a 65,000-year civilisation is glaring, unmitigated arrogance.

LNP Politics amounts to “servicing the majority of Australians” while “providing a service” for a minority That’s been their business model during my lifetime and I’m 77. That’s a far cry from being the providers of services we as Australians expect and pay for yet haven’t been the beneficiaries of today. Their CV and example of service history has been lower than a limbo bar on the ground and shows why and where we are today. Yes is necessary as an increasing number of Australians are on a slippery slope of economic disadvantage experienced by Aboriginal Australians.The LNP doesn’t want that to change.
Infuriatingly, the Coalition doesn’t even try to hide its ideological inconsistency. Sunrise host Natalie Barr grilled Dutton this morning, demanding to know why he would spend millions on another referendum for something First Nations peoples aren’t even asking for. “I think it’s the right thing and the respectful thing to do to simply acknowledge our history,” Dutton said. He claimed it was “the wrong thing” to enshrine a Voice in the Constitution, but offered no further explanation.

Peter Dutton will be forced to address corruption allegations next week when parliament resumes because 2 whistleblowers, which includes an acting AFP Commissioner, have shined a light on corruption during Peter Dutton’s time as Home Affairs Minister and the suspect $billions paid to dodgy contractors.
Ministerial Incompetence is of Olympic Dimension
The revelations were made in the Home Truths series of articles by investigative reporters at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and 60 Minutes. The articles by Michael Bachelard, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Ballinger raise apparent malpractice in two of the department’s responsibilities: One is systemic abuse of the visa system by criminal gangs; the other is dubious payments for the letting of contracts to run Australia’s offshore immigration processing and detention centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea.
The most politically sensational of the reports? That the Australian Federal Police told Dutton as home affairs minister in July 2018 that an Australian businessman was under investigation for bribery, and that Dutton’s department awarded the same man’s company a multi-million-dollar government contract a month later.
There are not enough moggies that Murdoch can throw on the table to misdirect the stench of corruption and conspiracy coming from a decade of LNP rule. Dutton Morrison Robert all run for cover hoping advisors will find a solution or that the attention can simply be deflected. There’s Abbott lurking in the background waiting to be called back. Who else would dare want to lead this nest of snakes?

The Home Affairs Department handed a multimillion-dollar offshore detention contract to an Australian businessman just one month after federal police told then-minister Peter Dutton that the man was under investigation for bribery.

The payments were made to secure preferential access to millions of dollars worth of phosphate for his company Radiance International.

Peter Dutton the twisted man with a twisted tale
In August 2022 Peter Dutton was interviewed in Adelaide. In a wide ranging interview he stated, many times, that if a Royal Commission was set up to look into Robodebt, then Bill Shorten should be the first minister to appear.
Asked several times about Scott Morrison’s responsibility for the scheme he repeated his charge that Shorten, alongside Tanya Plibersek, had designed the scheme.
Clear differences have since been identified between the two iterations. In an AAP Factcheck, it was found that Labor’s scheme required the input of actual human staff in determining whether there was indeed a debt, and another crucial difference was the burden of proof was moved from the government to the welfare recipient.
Scale was another. When the system was automated, the number of referrals and debts raised rose from 20,000 a year, to 20,000 a week.
