DUDDO
Feb 2nd, 2025 at 6:58pm
 
Watching him on Abc insiders.

His a dear shocked in the headlights.

It’s understandable his “Mr Potato Head “ nickname.

His not prime minister material.

I appreciate the effort of several focus groups ( taxpayer paid) in approving the new glasses to try and make him less aggressive but,
Duddo can’t even wear a tie!

That’s how serious he is about you I future 😞
Ugly is ugly baby no matter how you dress it.

I cannot take him seriously, he speaks like a robot and looks like one too!

The reporter isn’t trying to convince us he should be prime minister?

Come on - the clothes makes the man.

Lazy, relax, entitled, born to rule, incompetence.

Thank you, I will correct that as time permits shortly.

The lack of dress sense shows exactly how seriously they take their responsibility to the Australian people.

After his failed interview last night I cannot take him as a candidate for leading the Nation no matter how completely useless Abbo has proven to be.

I wish I could vote for Trump.

Mr Potato Head is most certainly not PM material, and it has nothing to do with his tie.

“ Peter Dutton claims the attorney-general apologised after accusing the opposition of politicising antisemitism. It didn’t happen, Dreyfus says.”

So who is the liar?
Duddo or Dreyfus?
Leading up to the election I think this needs to be resolved in the public domain so we can see who exactly lied and choose our votes with that information.

I believe Dreyfus is the liar and if proven should be removed from public service permanently.

Not when he stands up in Parliament & runs the old white guilt line about Aboriginal Stolen Generations.

He shot himself in the foot there & has now made many voters unsure as to him being the answer for a pandering, racially divisive, identity politicking has to go ALP.

No - That's not true - I know many died in the wool Labor voters, including myself, who will never vote Labor again after Albaneses efforts & lack there of.

A totally divisive ideologue driven PM & govt without a clue as to the mood of the electorate.

A person can become PM without being PM material...

I can't get over the way, instead of giving the balls a run for a change, he sucked up to the Aboriginal victimhood industry, exercising the long face over 'gaps' they create for themselves and each other in their ancient petty tribal ways - without addressing the real issues and taking a firm stand instead and saying that past efforts have failed and there needs to be a new way.....

Just goes to show that once the LNP are back in parliamentary control (have to choose your words carefully lest these idiots think they suddenly inherit POWER like some Fuhrer *again* and have free run over everyone and everything like AlboGroup) the LNP will do NOTHING that makes any actual difference... I noticed the first time New/Moderne Labor took the reins how the SHEILAS suddenly figured they had to right to DICTATE to people and to businesses... I guess most of you missed that basic flaw in the under-experienced in life feminist quorum.... and now just look at the joint... look around you for once...

So just expect the same old - only worse....

Footnote:-  You would (perhaps not) be amazed at how much support Jacinta Price is getting in the general community.... including amongst our local Abos.... some of us don't see skin colour ... we all know that a minority are causing all the troubles... and they all know that they suffer disproportionately from the crimes etc... chatted with two young guys yesterday at one of the lookouts about Landcare going on.... nice blokes and one had a gawky eye - probably from being hit ... bloody hell.

Shame, Australia - SHAME!  Shame that you persist with the loser's games in trying to work out Aboriginal problems... teach them to be winners.... many of them are worthy of that!!

It’s looking more and more that way at both State and Federal Level.   I look at the Federal Labor Front Bench during Question time and there they are - the same tired old faces that just rotate through portfolio after portfolio.   Labor will lose the upcoming Federal Election - and they deserve to.    Who ever the next Leader is, you have got to reinvigorate the people who are the front of the party!    Spend a couple of terms back in Opposition and come back with a younger, more savvy, more appealing front bench.

What is your point Baron....This has nothing to do with the illegal Robodebt scheme run by the Coalition???

Quote:
On 29 May 2020, Stuart Robert, Minister for Government Services announced that the Robodebt debt recovery scheme was to be scrapped by the Government, with 470,000 wrongly-issued debts to be repaid in full.

Initially, the total sum of the repayments was estimated to be A$721 million. However, in November 2020 this figure expanded to A$1.2 billion after the Australian government settled a class-action lawsuit before it could go to trial

On 31 May 2020, Attorney-General Christian Porter, who was Minister for Social Services when the Robodebt system was first implemented, and who had previously defended the scheme, conceded that the use of averaged income data to calculate welfare overpayments was unlawful, stating that there was "no lawful basis for it".


Huh Huh Huh
