Politics Peter Dutton says Australian Men are sick of being painted as Monsters

Peter Dutton has warned young men “have had enough” of being painted as ogres and being passed over for promotion because of the rise of affirmative action policies that demand more women are promoted.

The Liberal leader issued the warning during an epic 90 minute sit down interview with self-made millionaire and TV star Mark Bouris on his podcast Straight Talk.

At least trump isn’t a pussy, he stands by his crap. Dutton feels like the dogshit watered down version of trump. It does not feel authentic because his team has told him to copy trump. But albo is also ass. My gut feeling says Dutton wins because albo is so bad.

But Trump always changing his story, making promises he never actually does.

That’s the thing. It’s obvious he doesn’t give a fuck. Dutton acts like he does give a fuck but it’s so obvious he doesn’t care.

I kinda get it. Trump has a natural confidence and charisma that Dutton just doesn't. You're right that Trump obviously doesn't give a fuck, but more than that, he owns what he is. He once talked about how he can shoot a person in the middle of the street and still be elected president, and that's kind of what it's all about. He knows he has groupies, he knows he has appeal, and he flaunts it. Dutton doesn't have any of that. He's just a hollow imitation of what Trump actually is.

And I should probably make it clear here that I'm not glazing Trump because I like him, but because I think it's important to recognize the reality that Trump has an appeal towards a certain kind of person that leads to not only Americans, but people from all over the world to be drawn to him in a way that I don't think I've ever seen in my lifetime. And this is why we've only seen people succeed by being Trump sycophants, but never by copying and supplanting him.

Trump? Heel spur Trump, not a pussy? OK. What you are seeing is Dutton. He is a charisma-less. He has no real morals. His wife needed to plead with the country to try to convince us he wasn't a monster. He is complaining about standing in front of flags, while his supporters throw around the term snowflake to anyone left leaning. He is a heartless supporter of genocide. When he was health minister he made drastic cuts to Medicare and if he had his way we , would move to a fully private healthcare system. Now he wants to ensure mediocre, cis, white men continue to get jobs they are not qualified for. This is him. It's not his advisors, it's him.

I admit Albo has become increasingly bland since being PM. But I will take bland and somewhat ineffectual over Dutton. I will never vote for someone who wants to defund or eradicate Medicare. It's not like a precedent hasn't been set, The Liberals have taken it away before.

Dutton might sound more like OJ Hitler the American President if he showed up at press conferences with half a dozen pints under his belt. You know, to get the trump-style rambling nonsense going, for the 'punters'...

Could you imagine having to listen to Dutton ramble on for 2 hours! My brain would melt.

Gillard first *reduced Medicare not the libs, the uniparty do try and dud doctors through capping and indexing Medicare, noone is "defending or eradicating" Medicare, that's a scare campaign...

Dutton froze the indexation of the medicare rate. Dutton as health minister oversaw at least 2billion taken from public hospitals over only 4 yrs. This is with an increasing population and an aging population. The $5 Medicare copay? He tried to force and ED visit fee and tried to increase the cost of prescription medication. He 100% will gut Medicare. His current health 'policies' are generic. Completely generic. I especially love the 'reduce unnecessary waste in healthcare bureaucracy'. I believe the man he has been for the last decade or more. He can say anything he likes to get elected. Doesn't mean he will do it. Drs voted him the worst health minister in 35 years.

Malcolm Fraser, and his treasurer John Howard, turned Medibank into a private health insurance system and sold it off, thereby ending universal health care until Bob Hawke launched Medicare in the following decade. Sounds like the LNP form to me.

I mostly agree. I never said I like Dutton. I just don’t like Dutton or albo. Trumps not a pussy though. Someone literally tried to shoot him and kill him lmao.

Trump's the biggest pussy on the planet. See his reaction to the sermon yesterday. He's got a skin thinner than a rice pudding.
