Another assassination attempt? This time the Feds shot the POS.

Is Dutton up to the main job?

Paul Collits, Politicom, 14 September 2024

It Is increasing likely Airbus Albo will become One Term Albo. He deserves to be rapidly turfed into the dustbin of history. Peter Dutton has made a big impact as opposition leader. But what will Dutton do next? Dutton has a choice. Is he going to be happy just tinkering around the edges, or will he go big on the issues that really matter?

Gough Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser and (arguably) Tony Abbott all demonstrated the chasm between bashing a garbage opponent and governing with (positive) impact. It is important to add “positive” here.

Whitlam had impact – he nearly ruined the country.

On the positive side of the ledger, Dutton intends to do something (hopefully nothing) about climate change.

This would be huge, but the job will not be done. There is a mountain of work everywhere.

Let us just take the creeping authoritarianism of government. Surely, next to stopping a world war and killing the pandemic planning industry stone dead, this is the biggie for any incoming government.

The tyranny of the State grows everywhere, by the day.

Here, the portents are not so good. Recently his three senior senators all voted against – yes, against – an inquiry into pandemic governance.

This was unspeakable, and let us assume it was done with Dutton’s approval. Certainly, with his knowledge. Same old Liberals, we must conclude. It gets worse.

This was The Spectator’s Alexandra Marshall back in June: “Dutton’s praise of the e-Safety Commissioner spells disaster for the Liberals.”

Alexandra referred to “the main event”, which she believes is “mass global censorship of the public conversation”.

And the stakes have become higher since. Not only have we had the passage of the Digital ID legislation, but now Anthony Albanese wishes to control the internet. He will have no greater ally in this than e-Safety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant.

Dutton has a choice.

Is he going to be happy just tinkering around the edges, or will he go big on the issues that really matter?

Righting the sinking ship that is our democracy and restoring fundamental freedoms and rights to individuals and freely associating groups.

This is core Liberal Party business, one would think. Yet all the right words on this issue are spoken by a couple of backbenchers and by the micro freedom Parties.

The latest move, tyranny-wise, post the coming of digital ID, is the proposal to stop youngsters from accessing social media, and the war against so-called misinformation and its dis- and mal- siblings via further online restrictions on free speech and beliefs.

This is merely the Australian front in a global attempt by the political class to take over the internet, and so reduce it to eunuch status. It is about the only institution left to conquer.

The family is gone. The media is gone. The political Parties are legacy only, but still they’re doing what they do.

The churches? Woke and corrupt. The universities? Enough said. The schools? Gone to pot generations ago. But, we still have the internet.

The banning of teenagers from social media is said to “protect children”.

If you believe this is about protecting children, you will most likely also believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden.

Despite all of the mealy-mouthed “defence of children” pap from the likes of Labor’s Communications Minister Michelle Rowland, the real agenda has been laid bare by George Christensen.

* The Albanese Government announced a ban on children using social media, but delayed it for two years, likely to set up Digital ID first.

* Digital ID is needed for the ban to work, linking identity to social media accounts and ending online anonymity.

* This move isn’t about protecting children; it’s about government control over everyone’s online activity.

* Both Labor and the Liberals support Digital ID for age verification, showing this is a bipartisan agenda.

* The push for Digital ID is about creating a surveillance State where the government and corporations monitor everything we do online.

* The real goal is control and profit, not child safety, driven by corporate media and government interests.

Context is everything. Look at the props being erected around this proposal. Digital ID especially.

It will mean that everyone fronting social media will have to prove their age and identity. You see where this is going? Facial recognition? Bill Gates 60,000 satellites across the world will certainly help.

Here are a few examples of the political class’s undoubted commitment to caring for children:

* Forcing vaccines on them, with permanent damage such as myocarditis to follow them for the rest of their lives;

* Locking them out of schooling for two years, a time that will forever stunt their development and learning;

* Driving the transgender agenda and ensuring that children “suffering” gender confusion can go behind their parents’ backs to get going on puberty blockers and the rest;

* Shoving gendered pronouns on five-year-olds;

* Bringing prancing female impersonators into libraries and classrooms;

* Transforming the school curriculum into a “how to masturbate” education for all.

* The political class’s commitment to children’s welfare is there for all to see. Really. And voters fall for this?

Back to Peter Dutton’s choice.

Pushing the energy envelope to include nuclear was a big step. But our current mainstream politicians, at least those leaning Right, feel constrained to keep things hovering around what gets defined as the “centre”.

The ultra-progressive wing of the UniParty feels no such compunction. Just look at the gender wars.

Here is an issue, a hill on which to die. Whether Dutton can break free of the Liberal Party’s recent past tilt at stakeholder tyranny is his moment of truth.

And whether he can bring along the wets as well will be the measure of the man.

And this isn’t just a test for the Libs. The establishment, Liberal Party-connected punditocracy will also be under scrutiny. Where will Advance Australia be, for example? Will champions emerge from the mainstream? What on earth would it take to frighten them?

Will they sit this out while the ruling class construct a fully integrated architecture of totalitarian control?

This has to be rejected in total and called out for the threat that it is.

“This is core Liberal Party business, one would think.”
That can change from day to day. Just ask John Howard.

Apparently, he got within two holes of Trump. The question everyone is raising is how did he know Trump’s schedule.

@charliekirk11

Sources I spoke with informed me that the USSS advance team was scouting the holes ahead of President Trump as he was golfing. Agents spotted the suspect in the tree line in possession of a semi-automatic rifle which they believe to be an AK-47 or similar. The agents either exchanged fire with him, or else it was only the agents shooting at the suspect—this remains unclear. The suspect immediately fled into the trees and initially managed to evade agents, but was quickly apprehended and is now in law enforcement custody.

But they’ll get her across the line if it takes them a month after the election to manufacture the votes. We’re already hearing about how long it’ll take and how bad the post is!
Kamala Harris Is Much Worse Than Anyone Ever Thought

Hardly a surprise, unfortunately.

New study finds top medical schools value left-wing activism over science

The FBI is nothing less than an anti-American infiltrator.

@nicksortor

NEW: The FBI is putting up BILLBOARDS written in HAITIAN CREOLE here in Springfield, Ohio encouraging people to “report hate crimes”

THIS IS INSANE.

Instead of handling the REAL, VIOLENT crime that’s now running rampant in Springfield thanks to Kamala’s illegals, the FBI is focusing on “victimizing” the Haitian population in order to push a narrative.

WHY?!

I see the Libertarians did quite well in greater Sydney council elections.

Does anyone know how Muslim Vote candidates fared?

Scant news in the msm.
