'Temu Trump' strikes yet again!
There have been times in the past when I thoroughly disagreed with a lot of what Ross Gittins wrote. This is not one of those occasions.
His article explains exactly why Peter Dutton should not ever be let near the nearest Canberra roundabout to The Lodge.
Dutton’s pathetic claims on 15 April about the Indonesian “revelations”, suggesting it is a failure on the part of the prime minister, the defence minister and the foreign minister not to know about a questionable report in an aviation journal, when even the Indonesian defence minister and/or foreign minister were unaware, is a singular example of why he is totally unfit for high office.
This is a person who throws entire communities under the bus when one person that is “alleged” to be part of a particular community is accused of a crime.
His chief apologist, the shadow Home Affairs spokesperson, who is a walking IPA policy salesman, is still trying to smear Wong, Albanese and Marles over this Russian base nonsense which even the Russians have now denied.
Paul Keating put it best, describing Dutton as “a charlatan” and “wicked and cynical”. Add intellectually moribund to that, as well.
