Re: The Australian Politics Thread
The thing is Dutton is getting easy treatment by the media and public because no-one really takes them seriously. But come election time, when people are looking at the Coalition as an alternative government, it will be hard for them to avoid scrutiny of their previous term in office. Robo-debt alo...

Nice warm up for Georgia. Maybe even give their young players a run out Last time the two sides met it was a comfortable 43-19 win. Georgia are overreaching themselves here. This.
