He couldn't read the room; she can. Zoe Daniel also has extensive experience as a foreign correspondent for the ABC. I think that combination of considering local and global matters gives her excellent insights.Zoe Daniel's insights in this article are well worth your time, in my opinion. She deftly shows the interrelationships between Trump, Trumpism, Peter Dutton, and Dutton's mindless mimicry of Trump when he talks about DOGE and DEI.

They won’t do it because it will upset lobby groups, vested interests and the corporate far right media. This of course translates into votes given they are constantly in election mode.There are three things Australia desperately needs to do in my opinion:1. Abolish negative gearing on residential housing 2. Increase capital gains tax on investment properties - not the family home 3. Re-introduce a carbon price These three things would dramatically improve the quality of life and prospects for millions of Australians, especially the youth of the country. It would get people off the streets, out of cars, out of tents and caravan parks, and it would drive steep investment in a low carbon future - all these things would be a massive boost to the Australian economy

It appears Peter Dutton has made his battle lines for the next election and it’s based on the premise that voters care more about the cost-of-living that they do about the climate crisis. To begin with the LNP have ‘no’ credible policies on either. Their energy policy is based future nuclear power plants but years ahead on the distant horizon with the need to build more coal fired plants to get us to there - no renewables. I can’t describe how dumb and destructive that idea is. Not only will it result in very expensive electricity for everyone - households and business, it will drive up the CoL, inflation, emissions, environmental destruction, pollution and require billions more in taxpayer subsidies. Now we have them as the party going to lower the CoL - but the problem is the coalition has ‘no’ credible policies on this - they have no answers. Can you imagine the LNP making large corporations reduce their profits, or make fossil fuel companies pay their fair share; as an eg. They have always claimed they are better stewards of the economy; but what we are getting from Dutton is disastrous for the economy. They had 10 years in office until 2022 and left behind a trail of destruction - now they are offering worse. No - Peter Dutton’s campaign strategy is totally negative and will blame everything on his opponents in an attempt to do a Donald Trump play by enraging one group of citizens against the govt of the day - ‘but’ like the Republicans - have zero policies <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-13/teals-coaltion-climate-policy-election/103973420" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-13/teals-coaltion-climate-policy-election/103973420</a>
