Dutton constantly berates Sarah Ferguson/ABC for being pro-Labor during an interview on 730. Next day, David Speers pens a Dutton-friendly piece on the ABC website. Just in case you were wondering why things happen.

Dutton took the 'least bad option' — and now his election plan is coming into view

Dutton may not have produced much policy detail in the 21 months since the last election, but he's talking a big game about what's to come, writes David Speers.

No, fuck off. There is no “both sides” here. There is no “sensitive” version of what is happening to women, men and children in these camps. There is no sensible centre. So no, we won’t pretend otherwise.

Could we maybe start the new year by just dropping the increasingly insensitive, on both sides, Auschwitz / Manus diatribe.

After the disgraceful performance of the MSM during the campaign, the yelling and grandstanding & the failure to report key issues adequately, they might want to lay off the whole ‘isn’t Twitter toxic’ angle until they’ve had the decency to honestly address their own shortcomings

Labor's *real politick* argument has always been they can't do X bc "the media" will bash us and destroy our electoral chances. It is an excuse that no longer holds. I mean, seriously, how much harder could they bash Labor? And yet⬇️ Progressive policy is possible.

Still trying to get my head around all those hagiographic stories over the last week about the changed, transformed, post-ideological Scott Morrison and team. Everyone one of those accentuate-the-positive stories is a abrogation of journalistic duty, given what we actually know

Between this, the strike/lockout thing, the Rebel Wilson outing, it’s almost like there are structural/cultural problems at the SMH.
