@josiegirl62 @GVG1 @PRGuy17 with due respect Josie -- there is nothing funny about the. thought of Dutton being in the police -- he is an untrustworthy cowardly man now - can u imagine what he got away with as a copper!!? a frightening image.

@alexmitchy_ Well. I have 4 kids; one died, he had a severe mental illness. I could outline the status of the rest. But for fucks sake every fucking child is a blessing! SCOMO represents the worst aspects of contemporary Australia. He and those near him have no grasp of life in the real world.

They were dragged to the RC into Aged Care kicking and screaming and at the end of the day drew a sigh of relief when covid struck as it gave them cause to keep on doing SFA about the industry; just as they are doing now: they know it will be some else's problem come late May!.

@juliemonry No. Not at all. He allows Ministers to deal with matters related to their portfolios - its called leadership and giving Ministers appropriate control: unlike SCOMO who was a control freak; surprisingly he achieved nothing at all, ever inspite of his finger in every pie approach.
