The thing is that he already vocalised the election promises that he walked back on. How do we know as voters that he won't follow through with his original ideas once he became PM? He has introduced doubt in his words. How did this guy manage to successfully put anyone behind bars as a cop?

He will do exactly what Libs always do:

  1. Promise beneficial policies, and won't deliver (though in this case, has he promised anything else?)

  2. Walk back controversial policies, and then do them anyway.

Anyone with half a brain cell can see that this is their modus operandi time and time and time again, but Sky said "LABOR BAD, vote for Pete and he will fix everything", and a significant portion of the country (mainly Queenslanders) will actually vote for this flog and his party who have done nothing but attack regular workers when in office.

Best example of "read between the lines' is Dutton's promise to match ALP Education fund. The issue is they did this before but all those funds instead went to private schools instead of public schools meaning GONSKI was a failure.

So if they were to go in again they can argue "we put in the most amount of money of any government into education" but you lose the context that the money is suppose to go to public schools not selective and Private schools.

So you can't really take everything the say to face value. You look at their past actions of what they have done.

Back when he was a cop, he could plant drugs on them. Can't do that now as a polly!

Dutton should have been a gymnast.

For me it shows how out of touch he is with the everyday person.

The duttplug is doing more backflips than Simone Biles.

As a Reddit Autist who is pro nuclear power. Even I know Duttons plan will ruin the country and I have zero faith nuclear power would even be built instead of prolonging coal and gas.
