As a loyal Liberal supporter and party member, I am beyond ashamed and furious. Peter Dutton just ran the most pathetic, disconnected, tone-deaf campaign in Australian political history. No focus on NDIS fraud, exploding immigration, home invasions, cost of living, housing shortage, or the daily fear many Australians live in. Instead, we got irrelevant policies, empty soundbites, and a smug attitude. AND HE LOST HIS OWN SEAT. How incompetent do you have to be to blow this election? Labor handed it to us on a silver platter — scams, crime, inflation, immigration chaos — and Dutton still found a way to lose. This was political malpractice. The only person who could lose this election was Peter Dutton… and he did. No more career politicians who live in a bubble and have no idea what real Australians are going through. #DuttonDisaster #LiberalParty #AusPol #NDISFraud #ImmigrationCrisis #CostOfLiving #HousingCrisis #CrimeWave #ElectionFail #LeadershipChange #WakeUpLiberals #DuttonMustGo @LiberalAus @LiberalVictoria

Dutton’s nuclear fantasy for QLD could literally run out of water in a heatwave—leaving towns one disaster away from meltdown. He calls this a plan? RETWEET if you’d rather not be irradiated for the sake of his ego. #DuttonDisaster #NuclearMadness #AusPol

Oh I don't know, whats a bit of deception when you're desperate Hayden.🤡 After all his runner #AngusTaylor is his first & only hope. Someone who portrays himself like #Trump as having the Art of the Deal. #duttonthedud #DuttonDisaster

Trump just made your Macca’s burger more expensive because Australia won’t drop its beef standards. Meanwhile, Dutton’s promising to “stand up” while backing $22B in fossil fuel subsidies. Mate, you can’t fight for the country when you’re already sold out. #DuttonDisaster #AusPol

🎙️ BREAKING: The Daily Telegraph's New Torque Torque Man Is Just #RayHadley in a Retirement Wig Well well well. Look who's back — Ray Hadley, the fossilised foghorn of the Right, wheeled out of retirement like an old jukebox that only plays “ALBO BAD” on repeat. Yes, Ray Hadley RETIRED in December 2024. Announced it. Celebrated it. Took the gold watch and probably said something about “spending more time with the grandkids.” But now — April 2, 2025 — here he is, fronting “The Ray Hadley Midday Show” like he never left, streaming “exclusively” on the Daily Cryograph App™ and pushing Murdoch’s election panic propaganda like it’s 1998 and Pauline’s polling again. Let’s call it what it is: 🧟‍♂️ The Reanimated Ranter – brought back to life by News Corp to feed pensioners their daily dose of Labor loathing, gaffe whispering, and purple T-shirt paranoia. 📻 In “Episode 1: You want to be our Prime Minister again?” Hadley opens with fake concern about Albo mumbling at a press conference and spins it into a full character assassination. His big scandal? ➡️ Albo was “confused.” ➡️ Tanya Plibersek’s campaign volunteers wore purple shirts. Yes. Purple. Which apparently breaches some unspoken AEC aesthetic. Meanwhile, Ray's plugging #Liberal candidates by name, cheerleading marginal seats, and subtly implying one candidate could win Bennelong because he’s of Chinese heritage and so are many voters there. Not racist, Ray — just deeply strategic and racially loaded. 📻 Then in “Episode 2: #Dutton needs a Houdini act to win” Now comes the pivot — the classic #Murdoch Underdog Redemption Arc™. Ray admits Dutton is tanking. But that’s not failure — it’s drama. Cue Houdini references, NRL metaphors, and… oh look, it’s another smear bonanza: ➡️ Mike Cannon-Brookes is a “climate hypocrite” for owning a jet. ➡️ Tony Burke is accused of “political bastardry” for fast-tracking 13,500 citizenships — with Ray claiming it was a sneaky vote-buying scandal to help Labor in southwest Sydney. But here’s what Ray doesn’t tell his audience of angry retirees yelling at clouds: 🔹 It never happened. It couldn’t happen. 🔹 Chris Lord, Australia’s top immigration official, has publicly confirmed there was no fast-tracking for political purposes. 🔹 The claim was invented out of thin air by Peter Dutton, flailing for a headline. And instead of challenging the lie, Ray Hadley parrots it like a good Murdoch soldier, adding dramatic lines like “worst political bastardry in 30 years” to crank the outrage dial up to 11. This wasn’t analysis. It was a full-blown conspiracy theory with AM radio seasoning, fed to an audience already conditioned to believe Labor are up to something dark if people with brown skin get to vote. ➡️ Albanese is blamed for a UN vote that Ray says "supports Hamas" (??) ➡️ Offshore wind = evil. Casanova Bowen = the villain. You can almost hear the Sky News After Dark music swelling underneath. 🧨 The Truth? This Isn’t #Journalism. It’s Propaganda Pantomime. Ray Hadley is not a reporter. He’s Murdoch’s microphone mannequin, shoved back onto the stage to play Greatest Hits for a rusted-on audience that thinks every gaffe is the end of democracy — and every Dutton stumble is a brave act of statesmanship. He didn’t come out of retirement for the good of the nation. He came out for a Murdoch contract and a right-wing panic campaign built on two things: 🔹 Manufactured outrage 🔹 Pensioner baiting 🔥 Final Noisy Note: “Peter Dutton needs a Houdini act to win”? Nah mate — he needs an exorcist to rid himself of every bad idea, policy void, and angry onion ghost from the Liberal Party’s past decade. And even then, he’d still lose. Ray Hadley can yell all he wants — but this ain’t the 90s. We see the spin. We smell the desperation. And we sure as hell ain’t buying what the Daily Telegraph's Torque Torque Man™ is peddling. #RayHadley #DailyTelegraph #MurdochMedia #DuttonDisaster #NoisyTrunk

#DuttonMisinformation #DuttonMustGo #Vote1Labor for a better future. Under Dutton energy prices will RISE CUTS to worker's rights & wages & women's rights SLASH Medicare Bulk Billing #FeeFreeTAFE SACK public servants many of whom support their rural community #DuttonDisaster

The only thing Dutton cares about is, not letting Albo to be our PM again. #auspol25 #auspol #Dutton = #TrumpLight #StopDutton #DontRiskDutton #DuttonDisaster #CostOfDutton #LNPNeverAgain

Dutton whinges about crime but voted to cut police budgets while letting corporate criminals off the hook. #DuttonDisaster #CrimeHypocrisy

Dutton whinges about crime but voted to cut police budgets while letting corporate criminals off the hook. #DuttonDisaster #CrimeHypocrisy

Another Dutton culture war stunt, another distraction from his lack of real policies. #DuttonDisaster #AusPol

Introduced by Labor with more help to come…… As long as Dutton doesn’t get his hands on Medicare #duttondisaster

#LNP efficiency & handouts for the wealthy. Less for YOU means more for THEM. The Liberals are historically the worst economic managers. #LNPGrifting #duttondisaster #AusVotes2025

With his lack of cyclone response & his efficiency minister in the spotlight for rorting, I guess he's doing his vanishing act again. When the going get's tough ... #Dutton does a runner. Calling his opponents weak is his only defense. #duttondisaster #PutLNPLast #AusVotes2025

Peter Dutton wants to gut public services in Australia – but we don’t have to guess what will happen. Just look at the US. Thousands of jobs slashed. Families struggling. Critical services in chaos. #StopDutton #DontRiskDutton #DuttonDisaster #CostOfDutton #DuttonPriceTag #Auspol

He’s got nothing…. Don’t allow LNP to ruin Australia’s economy….again #DuttonDisaster

Darken hell. See the mess your mob left? Labor is at the moment cleaning that up. You’ll get in power cut and privatise and leave us worse off… again. #LNPNeverAgain #duttondisaster #lnpbackontrackwithracism

Well if you went to release it on a day of disaster, as you say, why not release it the next day? If you have the detail who not release it today? Come on then??? #auspol #auspol2024 #duttondisaster #duttonisaliar #nuclear #liberal

#DuttonDisaster 😩

So true. An LNP govt would be another #DuttonDisaster
