Peter Dutton has committed his party to a return to government at the next election. This development is welcome. The damage being inflicted upon this nation by the Albanese government, which we pointed out over a year ago comprises a core group of some of the least impressive individuals to ever run this country, is immense and needs to be stopped.

Mr Albanese presides over a government of the ‘three i’s’: every policy can be explained within the parameters of ideology, idiocy and incompetence.

Take climate change. This week Chris Bowen flies off at taxpayer’s expense along with 70,000 other globalist jet-setters to Dubai for the annual climate gabfest, Cop28. (Why any self-respecting politician would attend these events is beyond us – it was a Cop that heralded the beginning of the end for Kevin ‘rat-f-ckers’ Rudd and of course it was at Glasgow’s ignominious Cop26 that Scott ‘net zero’ Morrison sealed his own fate).

Mr Bowen’s trip is fuelled not only by an abundance of fossil fuel (of course) but also by Labor’s flawed and foolish climate ideology. In Mr Bowen, the climate zealots have a man of limited work experience outside of Labor party undergraduate politics and of limited ability who is the perfect patsy for implementing hugely expensive and almost certainly futile green climate measures at the behest of the renewables industrial complex. His career to date boasts a litany of failed and destructive policies in every portfolio he has been gifted, from the silliness of GroceryWatch to the deaths at sea during his time as immigration minister to the money-grabbing, vote-losing franking credits fiasco. Mr Bowen’s ideology is compounded by idiocy. The fact that the USA and the UK at this climate meeting are pushing for nuclear to be a key component of reaching net zero means that instead of us being in lockstep with our most important Aukus allies, and instead of using Cop28 as the perfect launchpad for an Australian nuclear industry, Mr Bowen will be standing on the sidelines, a ‘nuclear Nigel no-friends’. The idiocy is then shrouded in incompetence. Having vandalised vast swathes of agricultural land with his transmission-lines madness and touted offshore wind farms as the solution to his renewables quest, Mr Bowen has met stiff resistance from many of Labor’s natural constituency and is now running around proposing silliness like floating windmills miles out at sea or even greater taxpayer expenditure on solar farms. Future nuclear-powered generations will look back on his hare-brained follies, along with Snowy 2.0, green hydrogen, carbon capture and so on, with a mixture of incredulity and amusement.

Next, take Labor’s hapless immigration and home affairs ministers, both clearly floundering and out of their depth; hardly surprising from a party that brought us over a thousand deaths at sea and an endless flotilla of leaky people-smuggling boats. Following the chaos surrounding the release of long-term detainees (including rapists, murderers and pedophiles) by the increasingly activist left-wing High Court, the Albanese government is now voluntarily importing hundreds of Gazan refugees into this country, despite the fact hat a recent survey showed a terrifying 75 per cent of Palestinians support Hamas and the 7 October atrocities. How are Australians, and more specifically Australian Jews, meant to feel secure with Labor in power?

On the economy we clearly see the three i’s hard at work as well as on industrial relations and especially on Labor’s defence policy, which expert Greg Sheridan derides as ‘criminally negligent’.

Meanwhile, everyday Australians increasingly struggle to make ends meet as the Prime Minister jets around the globe with no discernible benefits to the nation. Back at home, emboldened by the absence of any moral leadership and moral clarity from the government, foolish youth (urged on by teachers and unions) and imbecilic actors don keffiyehs to parade their obscene ‘support for Palestine’, in the process terrifying Jewish communities and giving succour and encouragement to the vile rapists, torturers and murderers of Hamas and their acolytes.

From a purely political level, the self-evident failures of the Albanese government, including the huge own goal of the Voice referendum, make a change of government increasingly likely, as the trend in current polls suggests. But there is a long hard slog ahead and there is certainly no room for complacency.

Peter Dutton himself is an impressive opposition leader, exuding an air of common sense and mainstream values. The Voice victory and the way he stood back to allow Senator Jacinta Price to shine bodes well for his prime ministership.

Arguably, it is only the Liberals themselves who stand in the way of a Coalition victory at the next election. If the so-called ‘moderates’ – the Birmingham-Leeser-Bragg brigade – repeat the errors of the past and attempt to water down or ditch conservative policies, the Libs will lose.

Left to his own devices and political instincts and free of any stupidity or sabotage from the Teal-soaked bed-wetters, Peter Dutton will likely be our next prime minister. And it can’t come soon enough.
