I'm sure if elected he'll find some pretext to bring these policies back (or something even worse).

EDIT: Oh and "wasteful spending" starting to be linked to Trump/Musk/DOGE may be a good thing in the near to medium term, since it draws a line between cuts to public service and the US (which is currently toxic).

Yep, good to hear the in-laws echoing criticism of Dutton this weekend - because they're appalled he's intending to copy Trump and Musk
