Dutton - he's a traitor to Aussie commitment, to our national integrity, to our troops and their Afghan mates - locking him up is too good for him - take him there and drop him off - first alerting those he has prevented from being brought here AS THEY SHOULF HAVE BEEN months ago - from at least two+ months ago I have been signing petitions to Morrison and his gang to bring our Afghan mates here - and nothing! He's no longer deserving of the epithet "The Honourable..." We should add the letters DIS-Honourable each and every time he is addressed! We should never have been in that US-engineered war - but given that we were - the least we can do is look after those and their families who worked for us! As Malcolm Fraser recognised our obligations out of the Viet-Nam engagement... Jim
A couple of years ago the local Murdoch rag had a front page story that Dutton's wife had declared "He's not a monster". Do we need any more proof how wrong she is?
Yeah, it's not all desert wastes and craggy peaks there. Some sights were beautiful. Remarkable. Rice paddies, melon patches. Swift running rivers, massive fields of pot or poppies. Soviet war machines, left as if yesterday. A spectacular green mosque in the middle of a desolate field. A ford, traversed by camels. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
Hard to believe his family made a bomb with child care centres.. How’d you be sending your kiddies to a centre with him in charge ? Only if they’re naughty perhaps…
Firstly from a fellow writer-that's some nice writing there JB. And yeah...Dutton. I don't like the guy, I don't like his politics, his racism, his amplified dog whistling to the worst of us here in Australia. He reminds me of the local coppers that used to like giving me a "touch up" for being a weird ethnic kid with bright coloured hard and funny clothes in my rural hometown. But even this surprised me, I thought somewhere in that nasty oprtunistic nogin two things would kick-in.
1) the whole digger/ ANZAC experience about mateship blah, blah (which Donaldson exemplified the best of in spades)
2) From a higher and long term strategic sense: it's propably not a good move to put the idea out there for anyone considering putting their lot in with the next generation of diggers in their latest overseas operation, that 'thanks for your help mate but you're a disposable brown darky we'll sell out and abandon for nothing more than a couple votes from some angry racist flesh trumpet'. Maybe that Donaldson fella should try spud's job, couldn't do worse.
he's still that local copper. the one who liked belting around the streets with a couple of indigenous kids in the back of his paddy wagon for entertainment.
Some references further to this story, please, John M. Dutton is Bjelke-Petersen era - nothing along these lines would surprise me - along with the property/govt contract rorting, either - he's studied the progress of some of ugliest from very close at hand.
This is from the Betoota Advocate. It doesn't put him in the driver's seat, but in a very whiffy place somewhere near it.
In 1994, three Murri boys, aged 12, 13, and 14, were ordered into paddy wagons by six of Dutton’s police colleagues in Fortitude Valley. Each boy was driven in a separate patrol car to a swampy area in Queensland’s bayside. The officers threatened to throw the boys into the swampy wasteland, and threatened to cut their fingers off. before being abandoned after their shoes were taken from them. The boys later retrieved their shoes and began to walk home. They finished the journey in a taxi paid for by a security guard they met along the way.
Dutton has never clarified if he was a member of the ‘Pinkenba Six’ – but appears to have remained close with the officers, one of who (Mark Ellis, Pictured) ran a failed campaign as a One Nation candidate in the recent QLD state election.
Thanks for this John...I will add it to a file on his complicity with these perpetrators of KKK-terror on little children. It's why Manus and Nauru and locking up in hotels and so on for asylum-seekers and children like the Biloela Murugappan family come so naturally to him and his Svengali civil servant buddy Mike Pezzullo. And to the Pentecultists or Pentecultist-lites such Morrison, Robert, Hawke, Andrews - too! Cruelty with crocodile tears! Those Schindler-like figures who for various motivations assisted people to reach Australia/Australian territory - still being mentioned by the cunning Morrison!
Spare a thought for the families of those who have sacrificed all for Australia and those who have terrible injuries, both physical and mental who have to deal with our government to recieve the help they need to regain a fulfilling life.
I tell myself I hate war stories. But I'm kidding myself. Your writing powerfully coveys the drama, risk and cost of brave people in the most challenging circumstances.

Well she’s right… he’s not a monster, just an ankle…
Ugly man...ugly mentality.

He is a despicable human being.
'human' is a generous description

I always have the idea he's a CGI dude. Somehow uncanny.
One other thing JB...This is so powerful. Total gut punch.

Spud's not worth pissing on.
