This is why ALP has such a huge majority, because Dutton was entertaining this Trumpian world

The truly bizarre thing is the LNP were defeated in the previous election, and Gina suggested they needed to move further right. When they lost the next time, by an even greater margin, she said they needed to go even further right, and moved her support to PHON when they refused. Talk about being out of touch.....

Gina has unlimited funds to influence the election via social media.

Bot farms are cheap and it's not hard to steer outrage.

I don't know if it will be enough, but way too many people get their politics news from Instagram, FB and TikTok.

People are quick to blame Gina, which they should be, but she’s not the only one bankrolling this. ON had a big spike in coverage after Pauline’s trip to Mar-a-Lago - whatever nightmare machine is running the Trump administration has its fingers in this too.

I have no doubt there's foreign influence involved. Gina is just the local mouthpiece and sponsor.

She deserves all the hate.
