Linda Burney has blasted Peter Dutton in parliament following his speech on The Voice, for providing “every bit of disinformation misinformation & scare campaigns that exist in this debate”
Dutton even said with a Voice we won’t be able to “rejoice” when we sing our N.Anthem🤦♂️
Angus Taylor raises point of order on “relevance” but fails.
Jim Chalmers: “What would he know about relevance?”
Paul Fletcher then raises point of order on “offensive words” & demands Chalmers withdraw.
As you can imagine, he is not made to withdraw. What a joke. #QT
Tony Burke: “if the word ‘relevance’ is now going to be unparliamentary, there’s not many words left.”
Sussan Ley reacts to the PM’s response to a question on “new taxes”, she can’t bear the countless new taxes Albo reminds her that were raised by her govt, the 2nd highest taxing government in history (The highest taxing was Howard’s)
Peter Dutton starts mouthing off something under his breath after a failed point of order on the PM.
PM Albo: “he’s had his angry pills Mr Speaker”
Reminds Dutton that he promised to “smile some more”
Dutton gets angrier with another point of order & fails again. 🤣🤦♂️
Speaker gets fed up with constant interjections & interference & lashes Opposition leader Dutton repeatedly. 💥 He goes on to issue a general warning.
Albo sneaks in another “he’s very angry Mr Speaker” - LNP erupt again & speaker reminds opposition of the gen warning.
Tony Burke also throws in that there’s nothing against standing orders in saying someone is “angry”
It really flares up the Spud, steam coming out of his ears.
An angry Peter Dutton demands the PM stop saying he is angry, coz it’s making him angry! 😤
Speaker: “The leader of the opposition will resume his seat” #QT

LNP’s Julian Leeser has attacked the PM at #NPC with the same irrelevant demands for details, looking as though they clearly haven’t learned lessons after #Aston
Says PM Albanese is denying Australians details on The Voice.
They are doubling down & going down with the ship
He’s also attached Albo for not “legislating” the voice and doing it via a referendum, implying they area lockstead heading for a No stance.
*attacked.
Leeser also spent a long time saying all the things he and his party have done for Indigenous people, trying to make out as though they are the real movers on Indigenous issues & that Labor is making it all about them.
Peter Dutton before the Aston by election
‘Result will be a verdict on the leaders, no question about that!’
Peter Dutton after the Aston by election
‘Labor’s fault! I’m not budging! Too bad so sad mwahaha’
If no other Liberal puts their hand up, the party cannot be revived.⚰️
Happy Monday all. A lot happening today including Julian Leeser at the NPC, who would also have thought he would go into this on a high after an Aston win, but instead will face scrutiny on this in addition to scrutiny regarding his obstructionist attitude on the Voice.
Archer has spoken and said the party needs to go back to the Centre, (Turnbull too) but she knows it can’t happen under Dutton so I imagine she is waiting for a better leader.
Dutton says that “Alan Tudge held a personal vote that obviously fell away”
But assured Liberal supporters that his party will be an
“Election winning machine” by 2025.
🤪
The Guardian is reporting on “non-stop rumours” that Scott Morrison will be the next disgraced Liberal to call time, meaning another by-election in #Cook could be on the cards.
Happy for Dutton to hang on as leader at least until that one’s over 😂
#RobodebtRC Former DHS Secretary Renee Leon who was sacked under sweeping departmental changes by former PM Morrison while keeping Kathryn Campbell onboard, says she was sacked because she believed in
“Frank and Fearless Advice”
She’s thrown Campbell under the bus, but now is on the defensive.
Greggery asks about what she knew about legal issues with Robodebt in her time as DHS Secretary.
She says it never crossed her mind that the scheme could be illegal.🤨
Now thrown Musolino under the bus, saying once she finally became aware of legal complaints, she referred this to her.
They didn’t go any further for now, but if she’s leading to eventually say she was assured its legal & accepted it, without checking, & as Secretary…right.
#RobodebtRC Tudge’s former COS Andrew Asten insists that even though hearings commenced months ago, he had absolutely no idea he could ask for records from the Commonwealth, nor that he could be represented by a lawyer.
Hmmmmm…🤔😒
And this guy is now a Partner at the Boston Consulting Group.
Seriously, how could he not know that. If he’s not lying which I suspect he is, then he is an absolutely dipshit, no?
Or perhaps both. FMD these arseholes. 🤬
And being a Partner, he obviously is well aware of legal stuff.
Might I suggest he didn’t obtain legal representation to be able to more easily justify why he didn’t know you could ask records from the commonwealth?
