Dutton Always Framing Stuff In The Negative For Voters

Read Time:3 Minute, 54 Second

Australia currently has the worst vehicle emission’s standards in the Western world. Why is this so? Politics, of course. This basic health and environmental issue has been made a political football by the right wing LNP. The Coalition continually appeals to the lowest of the low comfort zone of their voters. You never see this mob ask anything of their voters to raise their standards for the betterment of the community. No, it is always framed in such way as to reduce everything to what it might cost in the short term in dollars. Peter Dutton the alarmist politician crying ‘wolf’ about possible price increases and exaggerating the amount for all its worth. Dutton always framing stuff in the negative for voters. Scare campaigns are Pete’s best friend!

Peter Dutton’s Designated List Of Handy Demons

What you get is a third of the nation only concerned with their own hip pocket and never acting out of what is best for the whole country. Me me me.  LNP Coalition voters put everything in the context of – ‘what’s in it for me?’ The Right never dig deeper into issues or bother to see things from another perspective. Blaming others and scapegoating particular groups are also prominent stratagems for their campaign strategists. “It is all the fault of?” Victim blaming is big on the Right’s menu these days, as well. Refugees, immigrants, LBGTQI folk, Indigenous Aussies, and opinionated women are all frequent targets for demonisation. Scare campaigns are an LNP Coalition speciality.

Blaming Stuff On Scapegoats & Demons

Bloody greenies and their concern with emissions are used as scapegoats for any efforts to clean up our air for the health of our children. The Dutton camp appeal to the lowest common denominator in the tradie and the working man. Quite apart from the fact that many of these folk earn a lot of money and can afford to drive decent work vehicles. I don’t know too many tradies who don’t charge plenty for their services to begin with. Unlike child care workers and aged care workers who actually earn too little in Australia. The bullshit around this issue is typical LNP Dutton dishonesty. Victimhood status is the latest thing for the well off to steal and appropriate from the needy. Getting to the front of the queue in the ‘what about me?’ stakes is another way of avoiding wealth distribution. The LNP are all about making noise for those who are already well placed in terms of getting ahead.  

Painting An Alarming Picture Of The Future With Pete

Peter Dutton always framing stuff in the negative for voters. Establishing vehicle emission standards in Australia is pretty bloody basic stuff and should have been done years ago. Playing politics with this stuff is the way of the Right. The boy who cries ‘wolf’ never stops trying to alarm the electorate. Now, it is establishing a child sex offender register and tackling black market tobacco. Dutton was in positions of power for 10 years and did nothing about this stuff for a decade. He was Home Affairs Minister!

“With the opposition continuing to make fighting crime a pillar of its campaign, Mr Dutton is also committing to a dedicated “strike team” to tackle illicit drugs under a $355 million package that would see federal police placed in state and territory agencies, supported by specialist financial investigators and prosecutors.”

Funny how an election can spur a bloke to make promises about stuff previously considered not important enough when they were in government previously. Emotive issues to get the voters out and a demonised group of nasties to blame! Aint that the Peter Dutton ex-cop way! Promising to put the boot into baddies on your behalf. Don’t hold your breath, however.

“Why they call Dutton ‘Temu Trump’? Because he and his party long to remake Australia in the US mould. White supremacy, bro machismo culture, demonising minorities, downward envy, and users pay for absolutely everything. Big business runs the show globally with oligarchies taking over whole sectors. Big Tech sucks the life and your money out of everything. There is a subscription for every part of living in the West. “
