Nothing inadvertent about Dutton
Your correspondent Fiona Colin says (19 Dec. 2024): “The Coalition, either deliberately or inadvertently, is creating another cost: uncertainty, a commodity investors do not want.”
Ms Colin is too kind. The Dutton led team does nothing that is inadvertent. With the only ‘policy’ in the coalition’s kitbag being the flakiest of all takes on nuclear energy, sowing Uncertainty and its stablemate Doubt is their path to winning the next election. Anything but a firm foundation for the future.
Anyone experiencing uncertainty or doubt needs to question everything. For objective, factual answers, the further they look away from Dutton and his cohort, the better the answers are likely to be.
If you wouldn’t trust your life to Dutton, why would you trust your country to him?
Bring on that hung parliament!
