Peter Dutton, dressed in a tight fleshy coloured human mask, stands in front of a lectern at last night's televised leaders' debate in front of a red ABC NEWS logo and a blue Australia Votes logo. He has his glasses in one hand as the other hand touches his head to adjust the zipper set into his skull on his human-suit.

Just to reassure people, Peter Dutton has as much chance of leading the Liberal coalition to victory as I have of becoming the Pope

He's spent the past 3 years grabbing headlines without putting in the work on substance & policies and now it's coming home to bite him

A guaranteed failure of a man

And if MAGA bastards in the US (one of you in particular) think you can interfere with our election results with your inter web and satellite thingos you can FRO.

We vote with pencils!

Run by an apolitical Election Commission.

And more often than not get the results on Election ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ Night.

Woman in the ADF make up close to 1 in 5 of the force now

They serve with distinction

I wouldnโ€™t wish combat on anyone but in our country if you are good enough you can volunteer to serve the nation in any capacity

To my American friends.

The Australian Prime Minister in response to the Trump Tariff placed on Australia said โ€˜this is not the act of a friend.โ€™

Australians would more directly call Trumpโ€™s unwarranted action a โ€ฆt act.

A. Immediately have your security clearance revoked.
B. Investigated / charged.
C. Depending on severity prosecuted / censure / reduction in rank / dismissal
D. Deliberate leak / action - custodial sentence.

Iโ€™d think.
