    I wish Dutton would stop being so reserved and cautious. He'd win in a landslide if went further to the right.

    In what way, exactly, is he “behaving” like Trump?

    I’m curious:

    The likes of the ABC, Guardian, etc. are constantly saying that the Libs need to be less “right wing” and effectively move to the left in order to be more popular (completely wrong, by the way).

    Do they also say, given the obvious unpopularity of the Albanese government, that Labor needs to move more to the right to become more popular?

    That’s very sexist.

    Despite the fact that I’ve never seen a psychiatrist (in a clinical sense. I’m sure I must have seen one visually somewhere), why would you assume it would be a “he”?

    Regardless, only lefty’s see psychiatrists.

    And it obviously isn’t helping them… :p

    Well you can take it to the bank that Qld Liberal government will be a 1 term mob - complete FU with the Olympics proposals and little chance of any of it getting built on time.
    Wait till the first prices come in - it'll be a doozy!

    I doubt that. It'll come in on time and under budget if they ban union involvement.

    We don't have anywhere near enough bodies in the construction industry - registered builders in Qld increased 1.05% between 2020 and 2024. That's effectively a decline given the increase in demand.

    And you're happy about destroying the only large green space in the inner city, plus demolishing the heritage listed Centenary Pool?
    Plus you're OK with $3.7 BILLION starting price for the new stadium? Wonder how soon they'll start demolition on the Gabba because they'll need to get that land to market quickly to get some cash back...
    Paris only spent E4.5 billion (A$7.5b) for the entire games.
    The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games ended with a surplus of at least €26.8 million, with revenue of €4,480.7 million and expenditure of €4,453.9 million.

    They should just scrap the whole thing and save the taxpayer a lot of trouble.

    Olympics is a joke. Full of sports no one cares about except once every four years.

    Brisbane is like a rat with a gold tooth with these stupid games. Nothing good will come of it, the years have gone buy when the labor boofheads shuffled their feet and stuffed around and now the libs have to polish a turd.
    Every country that has hosted is worse off economically after the games than before - Fact. Sorry except LA. One, privately run.
    Your right, the trades are in short supply now, the skill level of the average guy on site borders at the level of a simpleton. I deal with it everyday.
    You won't be able to get a house built anywhere, you can't get steel when you want it even now, the cost build on the unwanted infrastructure will triple, the CMFEU will have a field day, and in ten years the cost of maintenance will be millions loaded onto the already struggling taxpayer, just like Sydney Stadium now, that costs 30 Million a year to keep it above ground. All this so we can play games for 10 days. You'd have more success re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
    Billions wasted, that could be put to much better use like Health care, roads, Defence, Aged Care, Public transport,ETC ETC, at a time when our Gov debt to GDP is over 40%, imagine running your own business based on these figures, insanity.

    Dutton speech last night was laughable - he is so stuck in the past he's rabitting on about reducing immigration so there's more jobs for Australia - the problem now isn't JOB shortages , it's STAFF shortages!
    And then trying to blame house costs on foreigners - foreign purchases were less than 1% last year.
    Nuclear power stations - in whose back yard?
