" "Dutton has over seen years of torture in off shore
detention, joked about the impact of rising sea levels caused by
climate change on Pacific Islands and refused to participate
in the national apology to the Stolen Generations..."

Well since the off shore detention system was implemented by his predecessors (eg Rudd/Gillard), that the Pacific Islands are growing not sinking and the stolen generation is a myth, his responses seem pretty commendable.

I'm not sold on him but he's looking better all the time.

I think that among Malcolm Turnbull's achievements can
be listed - his success in restoring the government to a
position where it became competitive in the polls.
Before the ousting of Tony Abbott the government was
regularly trailing Labor in opinion polls.

Then there's also the $1.1 billion innovation package which
reversed the Abbott government's threat to science and
research funding - this package -
provides certainty for the CSIRO and
collaborative research, It also promises new enterpreneurs
visas to bring international talent to Australia.

Let's not forget that our Prime Minister attended 3 world
Summits and met with key world leaders on a one-to-one
basis.

Malcolm Turnbull also shelved plans to de-regulate
university fees. Same-sex marriage legislation passed on his
watch. The Building Industry Watchdog was restored. Taxes
were cut for small and medium businesses. The child-care
system was improved and a new school funding model was
introduced. New conversations about tax, energy, and building
bridges (at least attempted) with the cross-benchers has
been attempted - and the list goes on.

Peter Dutton is simply not in the same league as Malcolm
Turnbull.

seems like the abc has a great hatred for Dutton like they did Abbott. He must have heaps going for him in my opinion. Sad to see another PM knifed but they say you reap what you sow. The abc underminded Abbott and now are starting their tantrums because their labour lite man has been undermined.

runner,

Criticising a politician does not equate to "hatred."
And, a tolerance of criticism and of dissenting
opinions is fundamental to democracy. A demopcracy
requires its citizens to make informed choices.
If citizens or their representatives are denied access to
the information they need to make these choices, or if
they are given false or misleading information, the
democratic process becomes a sham.

It is therefore important that the media, and especially
a public broadcaster like the ABC not be censored, that
citizens be informed, that citizens have the right of
free speech, and that the public officials tell the truth -
no matter how much you may not like it.

// He must have heaps going for him in my opinion// Don't tell me runner, he's not another one of your bible basher's is he?

Dutton may have disqualified himself from parliament;

"Asic records show RHT (According to Dutton’s register of interests he, his spouse and children are beneficiaries of the RHT Family Trust.) which operates two childcare centres that receive payments from the government due to changes that took effect on 2 July giving (government) subsidies through centres rather directly to parents."

"Section 44 of the constitution prevents members of parliament from having an “indirect pecuniary interest” in an agreement with the commonwealth."

Dutton could be out before he's in.

Spanner in the works, Scott Morrison is now counting his numbers as well.

Foxy you know that the abc's hatred of Abbott went on steriods when he stopped the migrant invasion when every 'liberal' commentator on the abc and every other journalist said it was impossible with their mocking tones. They also hated the fact that the carbon tax was done away with again pouring egg over every liberal face who said it could not be done. 'Liberal' just can't swallow multitudes of the dogmas that are proven false. Look at the outpouring of hatred and tantrums towards Trump by Hollywood.
