Leader of the nation’s racist uncles, Peter Dutton has taken a break from claiming that calls to listen to First Nations voices is a bid to cause division within the nation, to instead demand a national debate on giving ministers the power to deport dual-citizens.

The man whose party screamed about ‘upholding the rule of law’ now wants to completely bypass the rule of law, so that he can shift his fear-mongering messages from ‘send them to prison’ to ‘send them out of the country’.

“This referendum will be different,” said Dutton, “the last one wanted to give Indigenous leaders the unchecked dangerous power of giving advice on issues impacting their community, whereas this would give ministers the small power to just completely ignore court rulings and deport citizens on a whim.”

For some reason I read that as “allow citizens to deport ministers”, and I thought: I could vote for that!
