This is what Dutton tried to prevent here alas, he's being ridiculed for it by the insipids. Remember how the ridiculed Howard ? Same crap-different flies !

Well Dutton would certainly be an improvement on the the clown we have at present for PM. Turnbull should never have been elected as leader of the LNP, he is further left than Shorten and a republican to boot. Shame on the Libs.

Dutton has shown good promise as Immigration Minister, so let us hope he continues in the same vien. There may be hope for Australia yet. We need many more like him.

Immigration needs to be cut to zero net and the best way to achieve that is to stop entry of those that will not integrate and show contempt for our society and laws.

I doubt welded on Liberal voters are as far right as Dutton, however doubt too they even know how far to the right of Liberalism he is, tomorrow we will have a new PM that may yet not be Dutton, then we will see an early election, after that more likely than not a Labor government, Duttons task may be as leader of the opposition

Gotta get up early in the morning if you're going to fool me Toni, the potato is the one third from the left, top row wearing a tie. The rest are all Peter Dutton pics.

Hi Foxy, you will find Mehreen is a different personality to her predecessor in the Senate. One thing I like about her is she's a listener, and always gets the facts before putting up her argument. Talking about racism, I can vouch for a personal encounter with a pair of racists, and Mehreen some years back when she was running for a lower house seat in the NSW Parliament. Her and I were doing a Saturday morning campaign stall at Erskineville (Sydney) railway station, when Mehreen was verbally attacked by two red necks, the language from them was atrocious, personally insulting etc. Mehereen took it all in her stride, all very calmly, not biting back. I, on the other hand told the pair to p off in no uncertain terms, my language was not so circumspect.

You can be tough in politics without outwardly appearing tough. Dutton liked to foster the tough hard man image, in power anyone can be tough on the weak and vulnerable in society, Now the dud thinks it time to foster a more caring and sharing image the old softy Pete persona will be rolled out, it wont wash with the voters.

There's another contender for the job of Prime Minister
who the Liberals should consider if they want to change
their current leader and that is - Julie Bishop.

I don't think she'd have any problems winning an election,
the trouble is winning her party. I think her political
skills are very strong but she's hampered very much by the
politics of the Liberal Party and I think that they're likely
to get in the way of Australia having a very capable Prime
Minister.

It's always interested me how debate around the leadership
of the Liberal Party over the years has always revolved around
male aspirants - Julie Bishop has not been considered the
serious contender when she has so often been the natural
successor.

I would like to see her as the lady in charge, the Liberals'
first female prime minister. If Labor could do it - and
so could other countries globally - including New Zealand,
why couldn't Australia?

Dear Paul,

Thanks for that.

I watched "Q&A" on Monday evening. They had a panel of
writers from the Writers' Festival and among them was
Maxine Beneba Clarke (born in Australia)
who's recent book - "The hate race,"
I've ordered from my local bookshop. She writes about
her experiences of growing up as a person of colour in
Australia. It sounded like a must read. And it should be
an emotive journey. I can't begin to imagine what
she must have gone through - compared to myself - even
though I have experienced racism - at least I was not a
different colour like she was.

Many people claim that there's no racism in this country -
we can't tell that to people who have experienced it.
