I agree. I don't think that Peter Dutton would
make a good Prime Minister of this country. In my
view he's very divisive and a tad too ambitious. I may
be wrong but I get the impression that his own
interests come first instead of the nations.

We'll see who else will dare to challenge at the next
election on both sides. It would be interesting if
some new blood rose from the ranks. There's enough of
them around.

Voters decided the referendum result, not Dutton or any other politician. Or, should I say that 60% of the voters decided it, and the other forty were influenced by the bullying and name-calling of Yes activists. So, people criticising Dutton should be criticising their fellow Australians - at least the ones who think for themselves, unlike their critics.

To answer the question - even though I don't know why it was asked - Dutton is a disappointment, like all but a very few Liberals. He would be better than Albanese (who wouldn't) but he would not be a good Prime Minister if his performance as Opposition Leader is indicative of his courage and leadership skills. All politicians have forgotten that they are supposed to be serving the people, not pushing their own beliefs.

If I had to choose a better leader for the Liberals, I would go for Bridget McKenzie. All the men are wimps.

What Australia needs now is to be Labor-less !

Foxy, I think Dutton is a noncharismatic leader and that might be the
best thing about him.
I think he does a workman like job as he did with the boats.
I think he could do with some instruction with public speaking.
Not too much or it would spoil him.
Unlike virtually all the other members he has really been at the sharp end.
That has probably made him internally resilient and confident.
Almost all pollies have been trade union reps, political ladder climbers or solicitors.
Not the best qualifications for running a country.

"Would any of you want him [Dutton] as a future leader of this country?"

Wrong question. In our system, it is a contest between two. The options are Dutton or Albanese. The correct question is which of those two would you prefer, remembering that the leader brings with him/her all the baggage of the party that elevated them to leadership.

Frankly neither option is the slightest bit appealing but that's what we've got. When the time comes we'll need to make the choice between the lesser of two evils. In a better time, in a better country, better people would be elevated to the contest, but alas....

Dud Dutton's track record speaks for itself! PATHETIC! As for Albo, well take him, or leave him, not much of a choice there.
