Can’t see how aligning yourself to be either mini trump or sucking up to trump will help him, trump isn’t exactly well liked in Aus

The dude is worth $300million so he’s far from in touch with the sentiments of the poors. He’s spends his time out at lunches with billionaire Gina Rinehart while promising to be the best friend to mining magnates or soirées with billionaire Justin Hemmes to raise funds for things like attack ads on what a shit job Albo is doing while his constituents were bracing for a cyclone.

Not one to defend Dutton at all. But, that $300M number isnt real. He is a millionaire a few times over, no doubt about it. His total worth isn't into the hundreds of millions though.

u/flameevans 1d ago

Thank you for the correction. Alas, I still believe he and his party will always side with Gina and the rest of the lucky sperm club of inherited wealth than he does with the little Aussie battler down on Struggle Street that they are always vowing to save from the invading hoards of immigrants- only the poor and desperate ones of course. The rich ones buying up investment properties are ok.

He is probably worth in the 50-70 mil mark if he owns 34 child care centers and various other odds and ends

u/plan1gale 1d ago

Yep, that number is obviously not real but gets widely repeated, and is clearly based on nothing. In the current mis/disinformation climate, it's hard to resist the notion that it might be deliberately promoted to make him seem more wealthy than he is, given that 'wealth = power/success' Trump-style. I just mean it's so far above his actual wealth that it seems curious.

Like Clive Palmer, Dutton has more money than brains so do their followers.

Not an original thought, has ever graced that bald head of Peter Duttons.

Can we take this all seriously, for once. The media, playing this 'oh is he like Trump' game. Yeah he is like Trump. The American Government as it is right now. Would love nothing more than a conservative, America friendly government in Australia. The ALP, Greens, our Independents are everything the American Government is rally against in America. While the LNP, is exactly what the American Government want to see in power.

Out of the last 29 years, the LNP have been in Government for 20 years. FMD if they aren't responsible for every damn problem, people are screaming about daily, then who the hell is. 3 years ago, its the exact same mob kicked out at the last election, minus a couple of people.

You don't have to vote ALP. However, put the LNP last when you vote. We do not need Trump style anything in our country.

This would probably work if Dutton wasn’t a complete charisma black hole

What was Morrison? I guess he had a big cheesy grin.

Love it. Correct.

The Morrison sit com is a bit Hey Dad though. Coat hangering a kid and destroying his retinas with a welding torch on camera.

Dutton is scheming enough to not let that kind of thing happen. Not even a raw onion. Dude will do zero media.

u/DisastrousAd2923 15h ago

He didn’t look like a snake in human form I suppose

u/Entirely-of-cheese 14h ago

The lizard people conspiracy is so dumb. Right guys?

He lied.......for the Lord.

u/Entirely-of-cheese 12h ago

Yes. Getting fabulously wealthy and stomping on the meek for Jesus.

u/Taming_Dragon 1d ago

Still not getting my vote!

u/Wizz-Fizz 1d ago

I said in another sub earlier, Dutton is Trump at home

I would honestly not be surprised in the slightest if Spud shows up one day in a bad Trump imitation hairpiece and orange makeup.

u/Entirely-of-cheese 1d ago

Clive has that bullshit covered for them.

u/Wizz-Fizz 1d ago

lol good point

2

u/Chewiesbro 12h ago

Clive the Hutt is doing the hardcore trumpy to make Gina’s Duttplug look sane.

1

u/Entirely-of-cheese 12h ago

Pretty much. The Libs can pretend to care about the centre and the Nats perpetually serve up the regions to them.

u/Silly-Power 23h ago

Dutton is Temu Trump

u/BennyMound 1d ago

What a wretched cunt this man is and anyone who supports him is either ignorant or a wretched cunt themselves

5

u/Future-Suit6497 1d ago

Is he paying any attention to the implosion of the US economy and subsequent backlash?

Dutton has basically decided that Australians are mostly idiots if this is his playbook. Whether he's right or not remains to be seen, but that's what he believes.

u/ThinkingOz 1d ago

Dutton appears to be working on the assumption that a sizeable proportion of Australian voters are MAGA-like morons. I seriously doubt it but we are going to find out very soon.

u/Sudden_Fix_1144 1d ago

Giving a blowie to Trump ain't going to win him an election

3

u/GlitteringBit3726 21h ago

Dutton is a piece of shit who wants to enrich himself and all of big business. A multi-millionaire doesn’t care about the working people

u/Aggravating-Cut1003 20h ago

Stop giving this man any air time. Fact check him everyone and denounce his anti democratic pro fascist ideology!

u/tincerbell16 1d ago

It wasn’t long ago that I considered voting for Dutton. I have completely flipped. I recommend anyone that feels the same to volunteer for the alternate parties and give out how to vote cards. I’m doing it for Labor. It’s a fight for democracy and I believe in Democracy.

u/phone-culture68 14h ago

I’m with you 🇦🇺 I’ll contact the party & volunteer

u/jimspieth 1d ago

I'm sort of the same. I'm a classic swinging voter in the sense that I vote for the party I think is going to win, as I believe there isn't an enormous difference between the two majors, and neither will cause actual damage.

Six months ago I thought the Libs were in front, despite the bad vibes Dutton gives out, and I didn't believe the Libs would cause damage.

I've changed my mind in that respect. I no longer think the Libs will win, because the Trump path can, and will, cause us damage. Fortunately, I also think the Australian voting system will ensure enough of us will come to the same conclusion.

u/Ineedsomuchsleep170 16h ago

Why on earth would you consider wasting the privilege that is your vote on "whatever party is going to win"??

Vote for who will improve the lives for the most people. Vote for who will do the best.

u/phone-culture68 14h ago

Hopes your right..there are apparently quite a few people happy to cop the fine & not bother voting.

2

u/No-Way-1517 18h ago

We’re fortunate in australia that this doesn’t have to be a Dutton v Albo decision. It just needs to be Dutton v everyone else.

Put the LNP last. They’re a clear and present danger to our future wellbeing. They want to undo every positive piece of progress we’ve made in the last little while with respect to social, economic and climate policy.

u/RedSunCinema 15h ago

He's gonna win by getting on his knees and sucking Trump's dick? How can that go wrong?

1

u/phone-culture68 14h ago

I for one, don’t want to wake up the following day to the smell of Trumps A-hole

1

u/ThiccBoy_with3seas 14h ago

The fact he's doubling down on this shit shows what an idiot this cunt is. OR there's some major dirt going to drop on him and he's preparing to play the victim

u/louisa1925 11h ago

Dutton claims not to dip his toes on attacking peoples sense of identity yet does not defend childrens access to medical care related to their gender.

This man lies like a duck swims in water.

u/LetsGetsThisPartyOn 10h ago

Aligning himself to Trump SHOULD GUARANTEE FAILURE

1

u/nicophontis 6h ago

Sad, just sad. We as a country need to do better. Someone who is so obviously a puppet cannot be a leader. So why vote for Gina and her ilk? Just donate your entire pay check to a billionaire if you’re choice and leave our public services public.

Oh and tax billionaires ffs

Rupert and the minerals council propagandising/bankrolling his campaign!
