MAGA was sold as strength. It's revealing itself as the most expensive political experiment in American history. The promise was dominance. The reality is irrelevance. x.com/microinterac...

Dutton is asking voters to look backward. That's the wrong question
Peter Dutton is asking voters to look to the past. Australia must look to the future this federal election.

Whether it’s his nuclear power scheme, national referendum proposal, public service cuts or back-to-the-office scheme, a lot of Peter Dutton’s policies look half baked. He’s unprepared for the election campaign, and unprepared for return to Govt. #unready #auspol
Coalition rethinks its return to work mandates
Policy feared to be unpopular in seats with high numbers of working professional women now only applies to Canberra-based bureaucrats

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has confirmed what Australia Institute research has long shown – there is no gas supply shortage in Australia. A reminder: - Australia collects more revenue from HECS than the PRRT - Nurses pay more tax than oil and gas companies - Big gas is taking the piss
