because labor bad is the only policy he has and by god, he's gonna jam it everywhere.
While it doesn’t make sense and still hasn’t for a decade they keep going on about soul searching and looking at the party values and reevaluating it when they lose and yet they haven’t changed a thing about how they campaign or present to the average people.
All they do is smear campaigns and talk bad of Labor and that’s it.
I don’t understand why they keep following this path.
Because it easy and it works.
Look at Trump in the US.
You don't need a platform you just have to be against things (including best interests of the voters).
The last 30 years of gutting education is paying dividends for populist candidates
Sadly due to decades of media bias there's plenty who will just ignore that it's Dutton saying it and still agree at the kneejerk outrage against Labor
If political beliefs were aligned with objective truth the world would be a very different place.
Ex-cop turned childcare magnate feels slighted and has a tantrum? Seems straight forward.
The fact that he's the best the LNP has to offer as far as leadership speaks volumes of the party.
The fact that he's actually a contender for PM speaks volumes of how brainwashed this country is.
He's trying to start a culture war to divert attention from the class war we should be having.
The wrong people (in his opinions) are benefitting.
He doesn't care about the average Australian and just wants to make noise for the sake of making noise.
The average Australian won't read past the headline.
People have short attention spans and rely on minimal information.
The voice was an absolute bungle by Labor. But if that's the worst thing they've done it pales in comparison with the decade of LNP fuckery.
Sadly it will be in the media and people will focus on it.
Yeah they will. Contrarian polticis is definitely a thing.
Someone might be better off under Labor but will vote LNP cause Labor = communism
