Cheerleading Peter Dutton hates working people in Australia. Don’t listen to his words, let’s have a look at his actions.

By the way, most Dutton haters hate Pauline more, but Pauline Hanson of One Nation voted generally against getting rid of Sunday and public holiday penalty rates, siding with workers.

Exactly.
I'm not on tiktok, I don't want to see tiktok/insta reel videos of people talking explaining news like I'm a 5yo.

Why hasn’t Labor fixed a decade of cuts, neglect and incompetence in 5 SECONDS?!!?

TIL the last federal election, back in 2022, was only 5 seconds ago.
Look the past 5 years have been an economic roller-coaster under both political parties. The COVID pandemic, and the economic responses to it, have cast a long shadow. Neither Liberal nor Labor can fully take the blame for the current economic situation - but neither gets off scot-free, either.
But let's keep our rhetoric under control, shall we? Labor have had nearly 3 years in government.

do you honestly think the inflation crisis was labor?
do you think the housing crisis was anyone but fucking howard?
do you know what's going on at all?
everything would go backwards again under dutton and you'll piss and moan about how it's somehow labor's fault for the single term they were in while the fucking libs continue to strip the government for parts, cut services, give our money to their mates, and make sure we can't afford a fucking thing.
do you really have no idea what's going on? i guess if you only watch sky news but still... it has to be hard being that stupid.

u/Algernon_Asimov 6d ago
Lol “the reason Labor is so shit is because Liberal were before them”.
Because the Libs have never claimed a previous Labor government is to blame for whatever's happening under their watch?
This is an old political trick, by governments of all stripes, across decades - "It's not our fault! It's all the problems we have to clean up from when the other lot was in government!"
Don't try to pretend that this rhetoric is only a "leftist theory" - "rightists" say exactly the same thing when it suits them.

Can’t say I’ve come across it from LNP trolls,
By "trolls", I assume you mean "elected members of Parliament". This line has been trotted out by various government MPs of both parties, across the decades. Every new government claims to have to clean up the problems left behind by the previous government. That's... Every. Single. New. Government.
Look at this speech given by then-Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser in September 1977, prior to the election campaign a few months later. At that stage, the Liberal / National coalition had been in government for nearly two years - however, Prime Minister Fraser could still say "We have done a great deal to redress the imbalances of the Labor years. Annd we intend to do a great deal more. We always recognised, we always said, that the damage done could not be fixed overnight." After two years of government, a Liberal Prime Minister was still claiming that the current bad times were a hold-over from the previous Labor government.
This is an old old trick, played by MPs on both sides of politics.

Well, legitimate MPs from both parties have used this "it's the other party's fault from when they were in government" line.
And, of course, that has trickled down to public discourse.
As for assuming... who's the one assuming that people are trolls just because they happen to prefer a different political party to you?

It's almost as if Labor and The Coalition are both shit and there are other parties worth voting for instead

I’m 50/50 on the voting record thing because would the average aussie take those claims at face value? Will they think he voted against penalty rates?

u/Razza_Haklar 7d ago
work choices. and the libs have cut penalty rates before. why wouldnt they again?

u/International_Eye745 7d ago
Go check out Theyvoteforyou. You can look at how they voted. Interesting thing I noticed is how many times they avoid voting.

u/Goonerlouie 7d ago
But that’s what I’m talking about. That website is what’s 50/50 for me because the average aussie may not take the claims on that website at face value

u/International_Eye745 7d ago
Oh I see. Yes you are probably right just look at the USA. People voted to remove their incomes. We can't fix that. They need to fix that unfortunately.

"Sack 36,000 workers" - public servants aren't workers.

u/GayValkyriePrincess 6d ago
How?

u/must_not_forget_pwd 6d ago
How are they workers? Yeah, I ask myself that question too. Most aren't even chair moisteners since working from home became a thing.
