Great observation skills . That ' s the line she says in the tv show at that exact moment . <| sep |> My 8 D ~~~~~' has a few inches for you . <| sep |> ddr 3 and 4 are not the same . you need either , depending on your motherboard . But the performance difference is marginal . <| sep |> Any of the tiki bars should serve you up just fine . <| sep |> It began when , during a Sky TV interview , Dutton began unloading on his own side . It was , of course , utterly premeditated indeed , the rumour in the department is that he ' s not clever enough to improvise anything . Nevertheless , in a truly inspired moment of freeassociation the Immigration Minister insinuated that , in some vague way , Malcolm Fraser himself was somehow responsible for the horde of boats descending on our shores during Kevin Rudd ' s period in office . Although the situations were utterly different and although the Vietnamese boat people who came to Australia have well and truly been integrated into the community and despite the fact they ' ve produced far more than their share of successful doctors and lawyers , it was a Dutton who remained completely untroubled by facts and improvised on his theme . He thought he was riffing like Jimmy Hendricks , or perhaps , given his newfound identification with the oppressed , Bob Marley . So what , one may fairly ask , is the cunning strategy behind such a blatant nonsequitur ? Firstly , escape the bounds of normal human existence and examine what he was saying from the pointofview of a person utterly disengaged in politics . Let ' s call this mythical person an average voter . To them it seems now bear with me here as if Dutton ' s genuinely contemplating this issue philosophically . It almost appears as if he ' s pondering ways of ensuring the floodgates don ' t open again and this has led him to reexamine the actions of his own side . The fact that Fraser left the Liberal Party behind on immigration long ago is irrelevant , as the fact that Dutton was five years old at the time the target of his ramblings came to office . The former PM ' s death last year simply means there ' s noone alive to contradict his disjointed thoughts . And finally , the very incoherence of the argument remains successfully hidden . Quite naturally it provokes shocked condemnation from anyone who ' s actually thought about this issue for more than a moment , but that ' s its genius . So let ' s look at what Dutton ' s achieved . Firstly , he ' s managed to reinsert illegal immigration into the political debate . That ' s always a plus for this government . Never mind the detail , the moment voters take the threat of people smugglers seriously , Labor loses . So award him one ' tick '. Secondly , he ' s managed to outrage the left . Senator Sarah HansonYoung ' s response was particularly visceral , bathed in redhot anger . I ' ve yet to see , however , any polling backingup the assertion such displays of fury change a single vote . So that ' s a second ' tick '. You can see Dutton ' s very excited by Trump ' s ' comefrombehind victory '. He knows this is the last slim chance the government has of pulling off another term in office . Something must be done ! Dutton thinks he ' s the man to do it . Unfortunately for this government , the reason Trump won had nothing to do with his policies and everything to do with his opponent . In a system of voluntary voting , like the US , the key to victory is convincing your supporters to get out and vote . Hillary Clinton couldn ' t . More than five million fewer Democrats turned out to endorse her in critical states than voted for Barack Obama some four years earlier . The critical factor behind Trump ' s victory had nothing to do with him harnessing the sort of voters that Dutton ' s attempting to appeal to here and everything to do with her failure to energise supporters . Dutton ' s blowing the dogwhistle like crazy who cares when both parties share the same policy ? This is the real issue the government must face as it attempts to get this last session of parliament over as fast as it can and send voters off to the beach . This incident demonstrates , however , that the wheels have fallen off the Turnbull ' project '. It ' s becalmed devoid of any sense of direction or purpose . Nor is there any indication the PM will ever manage to restore the mojo he lost giving that dreadful speech on election night . At that moment we all saw how he could lose control and give himself over to a tantrum . He ' ll never rebuild his rapport with voters . By all accounts Dutton thinks he ' s got the magic touch to lead the party out of its hole . Do you ?
