Not to dismiss Dutton at all but if he gets the gig and wins the next election on xenophobia, that just says who we are, voters don't get a free pass here any more than they do in the US. There is an open question about whether the media can do more to help voters.

The man does not respect the rule of law despite his history as a policeman. Dutton is cruel in the pattern of the evil enforcers of Apartheid in the land of my birth. I’ve watched this developing with dread since Howard. MSM wilfully blind.

Mmm... I’d say “the man does not respect the rule of law, HENCE his history as a Queensland policeman.”

Agreed, Dutton is a clear & present danger. AND Dutton has Murdoch on his side. https://twitter.com/BernardKeane/status/1032098144857673728 …

The only way Dutton would have a chance in a million would be if the media debased themselves of any integrity to promote him & worked overtime to tear down Shorten & Labor Wait... Dutton puff pieces &

Dutton will be PM unless a concerted effort to oust him from politics is made. Never underestimate the tenacity of a zealot.

Turnbull should drive down the road now to the GG and end this shit once and for all! Bring on

Not dismissing him. Simply terrified of the possibility of scum like him governing as PM. Leading us all to hell?

Absolutely, Bernard, just like then people in the media are deliberately trying to make him look like a real Mr Nice Guy, while many on the Left are turning a blind eye to the xenophobia and racism in the community that would probably see him elected. It terrifies me.

No, like Abbott he must be fought. Pity you and many others with the public profile to do so were asleep at the wheel in 2010 and 2013.

Scary. Could be Australia’s “Trump” moment. Having Dutton as PM is not ok on any level. We will regress.

In the same way the US left dismissed Trump.

A few indicators this is not currently the case: 1. an effective and united Opposition (and dogged good polling) 2. the Plebiscite 3. Super Saturday by-elections 4. The response to Anning and Katter

I dismissed Abbott and had a bad fall down my steps when he won. I was drowning my sorrows that night. I blame him now for my bad hip.

You should blame him, sounds 100% his fault. Of course sorrows had to be drowned
