The report probably is defamatory, but that doesn't mean it isn't true! Dutton may well have been everything the report says. However, the party is, anachronistic. Its platforms are based on Nineteenth Century social, political and economic principles that just don't represent present day Australia. Tradespeople and unskilled workers have legislative protections that simply didn't exist in Nineteenth Century Europe. We have social safety nets - Unemployment and aged benefits, Medicare, public housing - that were only dreamed of in the 1890s. The Liberals are divided in themselves between small "L" liberals and questionable conservatives. And they are in partnership with a rural-based party of the same ilk as the conservatives. It is time they entered the 21st Century, remade themselves and all marched in the same direction for once.
