Peter Dutton, Does Not Want to be King of the Castle By James Reed

Macrobusiness.com.au puts it roughly, questioning opposition leader Peter Dutton's intelligence, but we need not go that far. It would seem obvious that with an immigration-fuelled housing and accommodation crisis generated by mass immigration, that now is the time to be making king-hits against the Albo government. But Dutton does not do it. Why? My hypothesis is that he is too personally weak for his job and needs replacement.

Can I suggest Senator Price who did such a great job in the No side of the Voice referendum? How about Australia's first female Aboriginal prime minister? I bet the Left will choke on that one, as she is a genuine conservative!

"Is Peter Dutton an idiot?

We know the LNP is as crooked as a dog's hind leg. But that is not enough to explain why the opposition leader is ignoring his best and only chance of rolling the Albanese Government.

Albo has jumped the shark on mass immigration, creating an unprecedented housing shock.

Everybody I know is talking about this. Everybody I know personally knows somebody who is either being turfed onto the street or is suffering extreme financial anxiety at the prospect.

This is a catastrophe unfolding in the most basic needs of households. They are shocked and enraged that a Labor government has done this. The mood is fast rising toward revolution.

Dutton must declare the need for an immigration freeze to enable housing to catch up. He should dedicate his government to holding immigration below 100k per year until the rental crisis is ended.

For home owners, this is equally beneficial, given it will drop interest rates much faster and boost house prices. Don't listen to the stupid RBA. There is zero danger of a wages breakout.

The wedging of 'Albo the houso' phony is as personal as it is political. The move destroys his and his party's credibility in one king hit.

Equally, it wedges the Greens, which will go full woke mad, alienating everybody.

The corporate parasites will grumble, which adds even more to LNP cache. And all Dutton needs to do is mutter about coming AI job losses to shut them up.

Perhaps Dutton is holding this policy shift back to ensure Albo's dills don't do it when he suggests it. But so what? If it's his idea and his policy, he can build on it with a better version.

This is a red-carpet ride to power for an unelectable bollard.

If it does not take it, there is no brain within."
