Dutton dumped on Turnbull big time today
Was it, even if every word is right wise
I think the Government would have liked clear sailing between now and the election
As we wait for Turnbull or his supporters reply was this needed
Dutton may have his reasons for the spray, he knows holding his seat will be hard
Maybe he is saying he still wants to lead the party
Or maybe this is his farewell shot, interesting times we live in

Dear Bellly,

Was Peter Dutton Wise?

No!

The MP must feel under pressure to keep his
Northern Brisbane seat. He appears to be trying
to justify his behaviour to his voters. Unfortunately,
his timing is not good - given an election coming up.
The voters don't need to be reminded of what happened.
The Party does not need this right now. They need to
present a united front. Unfortunately, Mr Dutton does
not appear to be thinking of the Party.

I did not post this to be confrontational
In fact would like to see true Liberal and yes Conservative views
What did Dutton want out of his actions
Some one on my side of the fence claimed Sky wanted to soften his image?
No way, polls and his margin in his seat, seem to point to it being unlikely he can retain it
Surely these self inflicted wounds are not helping his party

The short answer is no.

The problem that the liberal party has with the electorate is that they appear disunified, and irrespective of how bad Turnbull was, slagging him off only makes Dutton feel better.

"The MP must feel under pressure to keep his Northern Brisbane seat."

Perhaps you're right Foxy.

A politician who has nothing to lose is wont to suddenly learn the virtue of the truth.

And he merely spoke the truth about his departed leader.

I say he was right.

Too me he is slightly distancing himself from the main Liberal stooges, the average Liberal voter can clearly see Turnbull for what he is a train wreck happening nearly every day.

So if Dutton can still be the liberal candidate but show he was against Turnbull he may not suffer the backlash from liberal voters the other stooges will come election day.
