Not dissimilar here, with the "liberal" press working overtime to smear Dutton and (perhaps) make him unelectable.

The reality is that Albanese has broken Rudd's unreachable immigration marks by 60%, and signed radical migration agreements with the ultra-nationalist Modi. The successfully-embedded fake narrative is that Albanese and O'Neil are "fixing" dangerous Dutton's "broken" system.

Google "Murphy + Dutton", and see why this hyperventilating Guardian hack has just been rewarded with a plush sinecure in the PM's Office.

I hope Donald Trump regains the Presidency. If he does, the Albanese government is going to have to smarten up. Mr Trump doesn't like supposed allies bludging off America. I would like to see someone like him leading Australia.

Given Communist China and the other bad actors getting more aggressive, the free world NEEDS Donald Trump. Petty dislikes and judgements must be put aside if Americans and the rest of us in the West are to be safe again.

Trump's competence as a manager is what stirs the jealousy of the incompetent Left ! Same here with Dutton.

"The West is in danger, but it is divided;  it has degraded itself with an unhinged reaction to Covid, followed by economy-wrecking climate hysteria; it has also lost its power of deterrence, and is as strategically weak as it was prior to WW2. Internal dissension and self-sabotage lays the West open to surprise attacks."

Only Donald Trump is willing and able to do anything about the dangerous situation. There might be "nicer" people, but they haven't shown themselves.

Yes Graham, he was elected to office on the promise to destroy elitism. Yes, he lowered taxes and also grew the national debt massively.

He is in my opinion, a compulsive liar, a tax cheat, a womanising misogynist and a climate change denialist.

He collects money from his shrinking support base, allegedly, for this or that political campaign, millions which seem to be rerouted into his private bank accounts as grift.

His run for the Presidency seems to be for the immunity of office.

Hunter Biden may be guilty as charged? But as I understand it, he is getting no assistance from his Father and will have his day in court. Until then he is presumed innocent.

From mine, and listening to the rambling that has become Donald Trump, I believe he is not a well man and on health grounds alone, not fit for office.

I believed him when he first ran for office and was pleased that he won. I believe Joe Biden beat him last time only because he wasn't Trump and part of the elites than run things on capitol hill.

At the end of the day when all the facts are on the table and proven beyond a reasonable doubt, Mr Trump may well do time for tax fraud.

Until then, I'll keep an open mind and not rush to a final judgement.

That said, I believe this is a problem that the (hugely divided) American voters must decide. I hope they will do so with open minds and opened eyes, and open ears, then let the proven facts prevail.

Sadly, Graham, one can fool some of the (very low IQ) people all of the time. No personal offence intended.

I don't see Dutton as unelectable and not even on the same planet as Mr Trump. His promise to look at/embrace nuclear makes him my choice at the next election that counts.

How do you know when a politician is lying? His/her lips move.
