Three challenges for Dutton in landing the backflip on working from home The opposition leader has made a necessary decision to stage a big policy shift so he can assure voters – especially women.

Further evidence Dutton is creating his policy on slashing federal public sector jobs by over 41k on the run

His draft #BudgetReply had $10b over 4yrs saved but instead he said $7b pa once the cuts were fully in place, without saying how long it’d take

Hi Bee 🐝, thanks heaps for taking one for the team and watching the #BudgetReply and live tweeting, good onya!

Dutton also reminds voters he was asst treasurer in the Howard years, which blew the mining windfall and put in the policies that are the reason houses are unaffordable unless you're a millionaire.

I can definitively say (lol) that Dutton's Budget Reply was not one for the seat of Kooyong...

Or any inner-city previously "blue ribbon" seat...

Like aside from the court of public opinion, will this actually see fuel prices drop by 25.4c/litre at the bowser?

Somehow, I'm not convinced.

#AusPol #BudgetReply #AusVotes2025

Look, this might be a silly question, but doesn't Dutton's pledge of a 12-month 50% cut to the fuel tax for rely entirely on the fuel companies reducing their prices to match?

What exactly is there to stop the petrol companies from gobbling up some/all of the extra money?

Denise, thanks for taking the bullet for those of us who have a trauma response when listening to Temu Drumpt. #auspol #BudgetReply

Dutton unveils gas reservation scheme and vows to sack 41,000 public service workers in ‘sliding doors’ budget reply But Coalition leader held fire on other major policy announcements, declining to reveal targets for net overseas migration or defence spending

Gee #Dutton plans to sack 41,000 public servants. Like we want to wait another 3 hours on the phone to ask them about our parents aged care package that will now take another 6 months to get assessed.
Great idea 🤬🤬🤬. #auspol

So, if you cut #FuelExcise, there's an immediate dip in inflation.
But if you then put that fuel excise back on after a year, that dip is immediately reversed.
And the point of it then ends up being...?

Peter Dutton wants to reduce gas exports to keep it in the Aus market. I wonder if he's aware of this?👇 #BudgetReply #Auspol #notodutton

Dutton reminds us that Labor is vulnerable on cost-of-living LATIKA M BOURKE: Peter Dutton’s Budget reply speech needed to reassure voters he was focused on the one topic that mattered — cost of living. In doing so, he reminded voters that’s where Labor is vuln...

My #BudgetReply analysis for @thenightly.bsky.social

latika.me/DuttonBudget...

A #BudgetReply with all the hallmarks of a man so desperately relying on the average punter having next to no memory of what he/his hapless (crooked) Shadow Treasurer have spruiked in the past.

+
Lost count of the number of times he mentioned LABOR.
No doubt the CHQ folks captured/will use it all.

Coalition business lunches tax break to business is for $20K per year or $384 per week

That is the same amount an unemployed person is expected to live on for a week

That is so out-of-whack it's not even funny

Dutton must be pulled up on his #BudgetReply claim "We won’t cut frontline service delivery roles" while promising to cut 41k APS jobs which includes new frontline jobs in Services Australia, veterans affairs, biosecurity, customs, NDIA & more. You can't cut them w/out hitting frontline jobs #auspol

Dutton will be a disaster for Australia #auspol #abc730 #BudgetReply

In case you wanted to read it, here's Dutton's #BudgetReply speech in full www.smh.com.au/interactive/... #auspol

Anyone watching his #BudgetReply who believes he's fit to govern this great country of ours needs to be locked in a room & made to watch what's happening in the US under the leadership of the 47th Pres

'Determined & dedicated'
🖕
The LOTO's reply when asked to provide a SINGLE word to describe what he represents
🙄
Yep.
Sums up who he is, how well he listens/respects anyone asking him questions.

FERGUSON:
You are about to enter into your first election campaign as leader. I want you to give me a single word that you think defines you that would be attractive to the voters.

DUTTON:
Determined and dedicated for our country.

That's not a single word. #AusPol #BudgetReply #ABC730

I do not want @PeterDutton_MP to keep me safe. Australia is one of the safest countries in the world & his fear mongering is nauseating. Stop stoking fear & telling lies, less hypocrisy & negativity, #PeterDutton. #BudgetReply

Hope his hand is steadier than his public speaking capabilities! #temutrump #budgetreply #auspol

Does #spud even know how the Australian Constituion work? States make criminal laws for the states, not the Cth! #budgetreply #auspol

#BudgetReply

Now he's done with his 'trashing LABOR #BUDGETREPLY ',
he's now hyperventilating with
#ABC730's Sarah Ferguson about how good gas is!
🤯

Based on the $ savings mentioned in the #BudgetReply, it's very obvious the Coalition hasn't submitted a costing to the PBO for their plan to gut tens of thousands of public sector jobs & it's some error riddled back of the envelope calculations they've done in the last two days #auspol
