Blaming Donald Trump for conservative losses in both Canada and Australia is being too kind to Peter Dutton
Blaming Donald Trump for conservative losses in both Canada... #australia #auspol #dutton #peterdutton
#Liberal MPs will meet in coming days to elect a replacement for the defeated opposition leader #Dutton after the party’s historic #drubbing in the federal #election.
I suggest musical chairs.
Whoever wins gets to decline the poisoned chalice of #leadership of a thrice gutted party.
The shallowest end of the gene pool to choose from.
Yup. That’s why #Dutton kept well clear of his proposed #NuclearSites during the election campaign - because they were SO wanting nuclear in their areas - NOT! #auspol
Did I mention that Australia defeated Voldemort on the weekend?
Australians have long memories in politics. Over the last 20 years, they have got to know the vibe of the #Coalition very well. They could sense that #Trump is king-pig at the end of slippery pigsty-slope inhabited by hard-right populists like #Howard, like #Abbott, #Morrison, #Dutton and most of his Liberal National colleagues, particularly since the moderates lost to Teals, or to #Liberal factional warring.
When Dutton worked out that his Trump-like politics might be problematic, he made a concerted effort to put away the #MAGA hats. This attempt at pivoting was the reason the Coalition’s campaign looked like such a mess. Asking Dutton and his colleagues to hide their MAGA is like asking the Labor Party not to defend Medicare. Dutton tried #backflipping from #policies, tried to stop talking about #nuclear, worked to present a different face.
But ultimately, in the final two weeks, this shapeshifting became too hard and Dutton gave in to his base instincts. He dived back into the culture-warring like a pig in mud with his attacks on #welcomeTocountry ceremonies and his #preference deal with #OneNation. All this did was remind Australians how Trump-like he is. #auspol

"Incoming #Labor MP Ali France offered a heartfelt tribute to her late son, after winning the #Queensland seat of Dickson from #Opposition leader Peter #Dutton."
Nationals leader David #Littleproud said they lost the election because Labor destroyed the character of #Dutton. He was clearly channeling #Trump's Witch Hunt energy in the interview.
They clearly had no issue when Alan Jones, radio shock jocks, and Murdoch's media deliberately smeared and demeaned the characters of Julia Gillard, Bill Shorten, Penny Wong, Tanya Plibersek, Grace Tame etc etc. 
It is unbelievable that people in rural areas continue to support the #National Party, despite the party always supports the big mining companies at the expense of farmers. The National shows little regard for farmland and the environmental health essential for farming.
Since #murdoch's #Skynews already said #Dutton's defeat was due to #LNP not using the Big Gun Barnaby Joyce during the campaign, a leadership #spill is unavoidable.
“We’ve tried #Dutton - what else have we got? Well not much, because if #AngusTaylor is the answer, it’s a stupid question.”
#Dutton, the unhinged #NuclearGrifter is no more. @chrisnelder @TransitionShow

Dutton rose on Howard's coat tails. I say a just reward for his bastardry.

Trying to imitate #Trump in #Australia is lazy, offensive & the way to find yourself ejected out of #auspol #Dickson #Dutton
#Australia #PM #Albanese makes stunning comeback with #landslide win.
#Trump loomed large over the election, with comparisons drawn between the US president and defeated opposition leader Peter #Dutton.
#auspol I’ll be watching #Insiders this morning for the first time in ages.
Why? #schadenfreude (the pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune)
Watching the Insiders panel try to explain away a massive #Labor win will be quite enjoyable.

The Libs were the dregs of the dregs before they were wiped out last night.
They’ll need to choose a new #leader
from the few talentless survivors.
