Shadow Minister,

You're backing the wrong horse. Dutton is a long-shot.
The odds are against his winning.

Hi Foxy,

"Perhaps he (Constable Dud) should go back to police work."....Nah, he was doing the late night Macca's run to pick up 'Happy Meals' for Sarge and the lads down at the cop shop HQ, when he rolled the squad car. Then he tried to sue the taxpayers for zillions for his; "loss of burgers!"

He was useless as a copper, went in as a Constable Clod, 10 years later he came out the same way. Daddy Dutton had to sack a couple of hard working fellas in the family business, just to give the useless son a job!

Village idiot,

LYING and Defaming people again I see. Compared to the failed bank tellers, criminals, racists, half-wits, and convicted paedophiles in the greens the coalition is looking good.

Foxy,

Dutton doesn't have to win the next election if Albozo loses it. So far Airbus Albozo is doing that for him.

Shadow Minister,

Predicting elections is risky at the best of times.

But in Dutton's case compared to the current PM?

You can't seriously believe Dutton has a chance.
Dutton is the kind of man who picks his friends -
to pieces.

Foxy,

I haven't been predicting a Coalition win, and given that no government has been tossed out after a single term in nearly a century I rated it as highly unlikely until recently. Even now the odds are in favour of a Labor government.

However, Labor's focus on ideological issues such as the "voice" and its dismissive response to the bread-and-butter issues such as the cost of living, inflation, interest rates and power prices has alienated many voters and without a major reprioritization, the collapse of the Labor vote is only going to get worse.

Labor can rescue itself, but a major effort is needed and the window is closing otherwise Albozo could make history in the wrong way.

Hi Shadow Minister,

Well you could be right. Any government can make
mistakes - and I guess the current one is
certainly facing many challenges especially with
inflation and prices on the rise and as you say -
the bread and butter issues are important.

However, we'll have to wait and see what develops.
The past record of the Coalition has not been a
good one in this either. Not sue if elected, they
could do any better. Albanese is more experienced
that Dutton in dealing with government problems.

Before I go - how long did Tony Abbott serve as
Prime Minister?
