So now that Jane Hume is blaming Labor for Peter Dutton saying “hate media” for…reasons still to be explained, it might be worth reminding you all that Dutton is heading to the teal seats for what seems the first time this campaign.

After spending the campaign at petrol stations, talking big dumb utes, construction sites and factories (his first week was basically all high-vis) Dutton is now heading to the inner-city, seemingly remembering they exist.

At this point, it seems like much of the Coalition campaign is centered around deflecting criticism in the wash up that they didn’t do something – so to the teal seats Dutton goes. Even though the Coalition didn’t send a representative to the Women’s Agenda forum last week on women’s issues. It’s so pesky that women are 50% of the voting population. Just very annoying for the Coalition to plan for.

Meanwhile, the Dutton media bus has become stuck on a bike lane barrier on Martin Place. Dutton isn’t on the bus (the leaders’ usually travel in different cars/buses) but still – the metaphors for the campaign are all there. DAMN THOSE WOKE BIKE PATH BARRIERS
