Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.

This is how Dutton wins:

When are we going to take our lips off the gas nipple we’ve been attached to for far too long.
It’s time to move forward. Archaic energy sources are killing the planet.

IndoDreaming. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are the ones to have for small scale setup.
Contrary to most people thinking batteries don’t last very long, well they do, if you know how to operate and manage them.
Most disposed batteries are the result of the owner not knowing how to manage the battery, essentially prematurely destroying and killing what they’ve paid for.
You need an understanding of how your particular battery receives charge , stores energy and releases charge.
Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries have an inbuilt BMS ( Battery management system), know how it functions and your batteries will last a very long time. AW

Dutton claims residents that fit Solar Panels are Fucking Rich Arseholes that bludge off the Poor!
Ok..but [L] and ALP mostly subsidise "Us Poor wealthy boomer Card Holders"
Idle Rich are mostly prohibited from nearly all substantial Govt Solar rebates!
tbb's neighbourhood is a case in point...
2007 tbb had card & received [L] Rebate & knows 2 doors up > Asset rich cardholders were denied.

Mostly Chinese Newspapers but a few Oz news sites ran Dutto's undeclared Property Empire!
Just saying all have seen this like a million x over...then why do ALL media pretend not to see...Wot!
Dutton's Family Home Photo is dated 2020...(The same year as Point of Sale...big deal tbb!)
Stands to reason as all other Dutto's Property Photos are shared from Real Estate Sales...well durr!
That's just standard ethical practice...nuthin' suss...Well that's the point...Huh!

Pause : ( Double / Triple Check )
Photo clearly depicts [2020] Date / Year of Dutton's Camp Mountain Family Home Sale
No journo would risk taking a photo of a [SOLD] home owned by next non related innocent buyer!

1. Real Estate or Commercial entity [Core Logic] released this Photo : Caption dated 2020
2. From Dutto's Camp Mountain Home [ Year of Sale ] Dated 2020 (Check!)
3. Dare not spy drone new buyer's private property to be implicated in Dutto's Property Fraud Empire.

Like imagine your own home identified as a rorted property scam on Oz / Chinese Front Page News >
Fuck Off > Flying drones over my Property NOW! Sue all of you pack of bastards...all know that...right!

Ok! Just establishing this is a 2020 Photo of Dutto's Camp Mountain Home [FOR SALE] 2020.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14436153/Peter-Dutton-property-...

Now...does everyone see Dutto's Home with 30x Solar Panels...pretty hard to miss that...but all did!
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/02/25/23/95587159-14436153-image-a-24_...

Dutto brought Camp Mountain Home for $710,000 & lived there from 2003-2020 Sold for $1.8m

Factcheck...no Pre 2003 Estate Mansion owner would fit 30x Full Price panels from their own wallet.
[L] rebates never started until 2004 > 2007 + (Affordable for Card Holders > Not Estate Mansions)
History records these 30x clusterfuck panel layouts came on with later posh commercial rebates
tbb is calling Dutto's Bluff...

Saying that Dutto ran his Family estate on 30x Solar panels

tbb can knock out 25% bill with 5 Panels (20x Panels would break even...easy!)
Dutto banked money from 30x Roof Top Solar & upped the sale price as a Power income earner!
Are we all on the same page here...Why not call it out...all say aye!

Put the Questions to Dutto...
Did Dutto install Solar Panels to earn undeclared Camp Mountain Solar Power credits!
Did Dutto up his Profit from Camp Mountain [L] Solar System income earner at point of sale!

Is Peter Dutton...a rich bastard bankrupting the whole Valley with undeclared Solar Power profiteering!

It’s funny that’s there’s no real debate. Just both sides talking with no fact checking available.
I did like how Chalmers pointed out when Labor in opposition made the $275 claim off their modelling Energy Minister Angus knew the regulator would be setting price hikes but it was kept quiet/delayed until after the election. Didn’t help them but they’re still flogging that dead horse now in the lead up to this election.

She might not be liked by Aboriginal people in places like Kempsey or Bunbury.

But dude she was very popular among a wide range of Australian's during the voice, far more popular than any other Aboriginal leader at that time, most of which we will never hear much from again.

Odds are she will probably never get a shot at the top even if she wants because well very few in politics do, but let's puts some perspective on things she is 43 Albo is 62, she has plenty of time if that's her goal, and she is already a far better public speaker than both Dutton and Albo (who is a very poor public speaker especially under pressure which is a real weakness fir a PM)

Again Jacinta is young 43 Albo is 62, she is in early days of her political career Albo is coming towards the end of his political career.

Jacinta is gaining experience all the time and a far better pubic speaker already.

As for popularity in a poll done year ago she was more popular than Albo.

Crazy enough Wong was the most popular followed by Lambie followed by Jacinta

"senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is third with a net rating of 6 per cent and strong name recognition after her campaign against the Indigenous Voice to parliament."

"An exclusive survey also reveals the challenges for the government in holding support ahead of the next election, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese slumping to minus 3 per cent in net likeability "

Anyway the fact you guy's hate her so. much only means she is doing a good job, and even if she doesnt become PM, she helped save Australia from a lot of grifter's (i cant even remember their names now, oh yeah the worse Marcia and just completely useless Linda and others, gone and forgotten )

Her talks at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship shindigs go down well.
(Most supporters like that the Christian message is kept subtle at conferences so as not to appear to be an organisation with a religious agenda. That being said, some on the advisory board like Jordan Peterson, get criticised for not having adequate Spirit/Gospel and for him not being a believer/advocate. But with Jacinta, they don't seem to mind that she's vague about her beliefs. Not sure why.)

The more pertinent question to ask is whether the Liberal Party continue to exist within that time frame. After the last election I was thinking the LNP would split into a "moderates" Liberal Party and a more right wing "reactionary-like" political party not dissimilar to the ALP/DLP split but the moderates have mostly left parliament so the continual creep to the right has/will continue. It is now the electorate who will decide whether they want Trump-like politics played out here

..incidentally, and in the spirit of the bargains and rorts on the gumtree thread, the AFA League's rather fetching little enamel pins (with the striking navy star of david on white), have increased in value over the last few years, and can fetch over $100.. getting rarer, the AFA league only lasted a year, before being absorbed into the United Australia Party:
