The cognitive dissonance is strong in this party.
And looking to placate the conservatives, mostly the older generation, is a terrible idea overall. They are kinda dwindling due to, you know, age? Not to mention they like Pauline Hanson more. That’s sad, now that I think about it. Being less popular in your target demographic than that woman.

May be the GLTBIQ and other decent communities who believe in Equality for All will start, say about three months out from the election, a campaign to rid our Parliament of this unrepresentative senator and those like her.
OK, say Dutton wins the leadership of the Liberal Party (Oh! sad day).
Those two former and dumped Prime Ministers Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott (NSW voters only you can rid the parliament of him) who stayed around simply because they were miffed that their own Party’s did not want them and then Rudd set about destroying the ALP Federal Government and Abbott the Federal Coalition one.
Traditionally Parliamentary Leaders, including Prime Ministers, have automatically resigned from Parliament so that their successors could get on with their job unhindered and without being undermined at every opportunity as both Rudd and Abbott have done.
What’s the betting that should Malcolm Turnbull get defeated by Peter Dutton he will do the Decent, the Honourable the Right thing and resign from Parliament altogether?
Problem: Peter Dutton will lose that precious One Seat Majority in the House of Representatives and will face an immediate Vote of No Confidence – a vote he will, inevitably and oh-so-deservedly lose.
Dutton holds his own seat by just a teensy-weensy little margin of just over 1%. and in all probability the Voters will, again oh-so-deservedly, toss him out, just as they will toss out the Coalition government!

Duttons, Abbott’s and that senator Concetta something’s treachery will have all been for nothing. Dutton will be one of, if not the, shortest Prime Ministers this country has ever been cursed with.
In NSW only the Voters can rid us of these ultra-right-wing, power mad neo-fascists and it is up to the GLTBIQ Community to help.

Now that she’s resigned, perhaps she should consider joining Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. It is more in tune with her base values.
