because labor bad is the only policy he has and by god, he's gonna jam it everywhere.
Ok but even as a political move it doesn't make sense because no one is going to line up to agree with him, including many who might ordinarily vote liberal.
While it doesn’t make sense and still hasn’t for a decade they keep going on about soul searching and looking at the party values and reevaluating it when they lose and yet they haven’t changed a thing about how they campaign or present to the average people.
All they do is smear campaigns and talk bad of Labor and that’s it.
I don’t understand why they keep following this path.
Because it easy and it works.
Look at Trump in the US.
You don't need a platform you just have to be against things (including best interests of the voters).
The last 30 years of gutting education is paying dividends for populist candidates
Sadly due to decades of media bias there's plenty who will just ignore that it's Dutton saying it and still agree at the kneejerk outrage against Labor
If political beliefs were aligned with objective truth the world would be a very different place.
