IN FULL: Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton clash in ABC NEWS Leaders Debate

Dutton is not even close to the well rounded leader we need. Liberals have changed their policy base and need a slap in the face reminder they speak for us, not the other way around.
Vote independent or greens. Interesting Greens are actually talking about the actual problems: corporate tax, capital gains policy, shredding of our environmental policy to allow salmon farming.

Shame shame shame, we know how to fix this. They are scared they will loose their mates.

after this election when more than 33% of the vote will be for minor parties and independents and less than 33% for each of the major parties, will we finally ditch the 'two party preferred' narrative, and the two party debates?

I would rather vote for Mickey Mouse than these two characters.

Wealth inequality
Gary's Economics

Dutton is just attacking the PM and creating non-issues and fear mongering about minority governments.
Dipping into super for housing will inflate house prices and force people onto the aged pension

I remember what it was like last time Liberals were in power. I do not want to go back there! No Way. Tax brakes for the rich. Cuts to medicare. Cuts to family. Inflation going up. Interest rates going up. Cuts to the ABC. The only reliable TV broadcast to rural areas. Lots more. Takes more than three years to fix the damage liberals did.

The saving of 25ct/l fuel saves the average Australian $230/year. No truckie or tradie will pass their saving on to the customers in financially difficult times.

Neither of these two are a good choice for Australia.

But for the people cheering for Albo, don’t forget how useless he is. A few examples:

– Albo’s ridiculous implementation of the voice campaign (whether you were pro or against)
– The tax cuts (which removed the low & middle income tax breaks) that resulted in most people paying higher taxes than before. So only a tax break for the rich really!!
– bragging about a budget surplus and highest taxation of Australians ever during our greatest cost of living crisis ever.
– Implementation of massive pay increases for teachers and train drivers (because so many quit during covid) but continues to screw over our nurses and public health doctors.
– Albo promises to fix housing prices but does nothing. Could be because of his own real estate portfolio??
– has resided over the single largest 4 year drop in living standards for any western country in the past 4 years. (Look this one up if you don’t believe me. It’s wild!!)

It is my opinion that Labor and Greens will destroy this country.

We need a change of government. Having Liberals in power with more members of the freedom coalition to hold them accountable is the best case scenario I see.

Vote for freedom affiliated parties like the libertarian party, freedom coalition, Gerard Rennick People First and One Nation. Get these lying corrupt morons out of power and out of politics!!!

I’ll be voting One Nation. As we all should. Screw the uni-party.

Can someone do a percentage on how many questions actually got answered and deflected and/or pushed to the opposition?

1. When its a global inflation driven by the debt crisis, don't believe Aussie pollies can fix it!

2. Immigration volume was roughly the same in the last 2 decades – give or take a few thousand here or there.
It dropped extremely low during the Covid years, and a slightly higher to correct that.

How does that explain:
a) severe shortage in building numbers, (more building needed)
b) huge sky rocketing of property prices, (its been an investors market, rather than for people to live)
c) shortage of quality builders and trades, (aging population, negligence of the VET sector)
d) shortage of materials in global supply chain, (covid and post covid delays)
e) one of the lowest population density in the world (we have a huge country for not even 30 million people – if you do the math, land shouldn't cost more than $30,000 for a hobby farm – its definitely artificial inflation – and in the long run, owning a home will create generational wealth)

This goes to show it is supply and demand issues – artificially created through market pressures, nothing to do with immigration.

caps on immigration citizens first

Stopping foreigners from buying homes for 2 years will do nothing Mr Dutton. You have to reduce the amount of homes people are allowed to buy. A lot of well of people are buying properties like crazy pricing everyone else out of the market. Reduce the amount of properties that are eligible for negative gearing at the minimum. Owning a property should be a right for every Australian, not a privilege just for the richest.

It would be interesting to keep an eye on the spending/revenue graph, it looks like, if things continue and there's not another plandemic, the gap looked to be closing…

Good for David Speers asking the difficult questions, and staying sane during the debate!

Dutton insulted Putin and Russia immediately, even though it was fabricated lies. That's reckless and irresponsible.

Dutton should publicly apologise to Putin and Russia, for making such a disgraceful false accusation.

Dutton is dreaming good luck

dutton always repeats the exact same thing "are you better now or 3 years ago" in fact we are better right now than we were 3 years ago, inflation is lower, taxes are lower, interest rates are dropping adn etc. DONT FORGET the mess the liberals left in 2022
