Nearly 40,000 students took the day off school last Friday to participate in strikes around the country.Mr Dutton said it was"100 per cent right" to suggest people would be left to sit in the dark if coal-fired power was stripped from the grid for 48 hours.
"Let the teachers tell their students that and go out on strike - but their mobile phones aren't being charged," he told 2GB radio on Thursday."This is how stupid the debate's gotten, it defies common sense."
This article could have simply said Dutton lays the boot into Australian students. Would have been totally believable!
Time coming when we will be rid of Dutton and his mob!
maureenchuck1 It's not like they are voters in the next election of 2....the liberals have a couple more elections then they are finished in Australia
PeterDutton_MP so glad your use by date is coming up and blessed that among those 40,000 children that went on strike are our future leaders
That would be the minister’s jackboots
If he doesn’t get it all the more reason for the kids to take action!
dazza50 Who cares what Dutton thinks. Or is that a contradiction in speech. Dutton thinks.
KetanJ0 Why does he hate everyone? If it’s not refugees or Muslims it’s kids. Kick him out.
Could a politician be more tone deaf? Dear people of Dickson, PLEASE get rid of this dreary dinosaur at the next election!
“laid the boot into” ? Who writes this deep seated aggressive propaganda? This enables the very thing we aim to destroy, right wing extremism. I can refrain from comparing politicians with vegetables, when I criticise the target, you can stop using fascist tropes. auspol
robotbum Peter Dutton is in no position to quote common sense.
Dutton is pissing in the wind. And no one is listening any more. ElectionNow
How to win friends and influence people !
Hundreds of 'illegals' landing in our airports. Hundreds of tonnes of drugs been shipped into our ports. Billions in tax, wages, & social services been stolen by his mates and Corporations. Millions of hectares of farmland sold to vulture capitalist. Etc... Priorities 1 o 1
.PeterDutton_MP is just jealous since it appears he never went to school judging from most of his comments. auspol ClimateChangeStrike
He's right
Wait until these kids realize what they'll have to give up for their cause! God forbid we tear into the earth to mine because that wouldn't be right, but wait you mean parts of my phone are made from gold?! But what about the latest phone release?
It's not his portfolio. He's just being a dickhead for fun.
Won’t be around after the election. No even in opposition. Pete’s gunna loose his seat.
Me thinks Mr Dutton defies common sense!!🙈
Dolt. Out of touch. And I could go on
I supported my children to attend these, and future strikes. We must decarbonise the economy
sackdutton
He must be wondering how he is going to deal with his share portfolio when these kids refuse to buy into unethical super funds
AntiAbbottAust You will be gone when these children live with the consequences of the NLP climatedenier policies you muppet. Election2019 will also see lots of first time voters remind you of your disregard and contempt for their future PeterDutton_MP You have NFI auspol.
So, mr potatoes head puts the boot in and here I thinking that he couldn’t tie his own shoelaces up... I still like the Australia Day bbq added where Malcom sends his wife for more potatoes as he liked ‘bbqing them. Am I bad?
meanwhile dutton and his primary school mates are skipping parliament by the month load - on the taxpayer tab
This guy is so out of touch i am surprised his in politics
Inaction on climate change = 'defies common sense' Dutton literally defies common sense
Dutton being Minister for HomeAffairs defies common sense...BootLNPOut AusVotes2019 DumpDuttonDickson
Dutton employs a straw man fallacy with the expertise of longstanding experience.
PeterDutton having a go at school kids for daring to have a conscience? Maybe he doesn’t understand what that actually means, given he appears no to possess one.
why someone hasn't shot that climate criminal and his mates is what defies common sense. more than 1/2 the worlds biomass has vanished in less than 50 years with thatcher-ism/neo-con policy's
Can’t lead, can’t govern & cant get anything right! Potatohead is a dinosaur. - we need the students to stand up for their own destiny when LNP will not!
Too late mate! Because of the inaction of your generation on climate change, these young people have now turned it into a global movement They are inheriting all the damage and so why shouldn’t they take the streets.
What's this even got to do with his dept. Science denying, non governing embarrassment.
Yes PeterDutton_MP does defy common sense and often. The school kids make perfect sense and I support the climatestrike
Who cares.
cunningham_cch I guess it’s a bad week to demonise Muslims, so he picks on kids concerned for their future instead. What a miserable, arse-headed weevil that man is.
Y’know. If I was designing a communications and engagement strategy to attract future voters it would not really include insulting them. But here we are.
Dutton is irrelevant.
ema71080536 I'm waiting for the electorate to lay the boots into Dutton shortly 👠👞 👟👢
Left_of_Labor That'll pick up the young votes.
of course he did
Hey PeterDutton_MP I’ll stand with young people who want to stop destroying the environment that we live in, and stand against a bully that willingly locks up innocent people, including children, who come to us for help.
I find common sense to be terribly overrated.
In another world Herr Dutton would have sent in the army with tear gas and live ammunition.
Jackboot Dutton - Always has twitchy feet - any targets with truth on their side are fair game to Jackboot Old habits die hard
MSMWatchdog2013 Peter Dutton 😂😂😂😂
If he used commonsense he wouldn’t have torn down a elected leader and put a night watchman in charge .
Dutton is a ‘demented dingo’ ! These kids have more sense in their little fingers than he has in that mashed brain!
Education or environment part of the Super Ministry yet?
Peter Dutton defies common sense
Yet another reason to vote him out
Dutton is not famous for his common sense.
Left_of_Labor I’d be embarrassed if my kids didn’t protest. So there’s that.
Well someone with no common sense doesn't even know what that is
If Dutton thinks that criticising student protesters a week after the event will win votes or distract from various Coalition follies, he has a very low EQ and no political sense.
Left_of_Labor Dutton would not know what commonsense was.
Taking a post-Christchurch break from beating up on Muslim Australian citizens?
...and he is right...the grubs left their rubbish afterwards for someone else to clean up-indicating their COMMITMENT to the environment! NIL! Let them protest on a SATURDAY-there won't be a single leftie teacher or student there.
Dutton trying to prove his relevance again. If he’s not having a go at immigrants he’s having a go at kids.
Mr Dutton must be dumped by Dickson voters
Who cares what schoolies think, get a job, pay tax and vote when old enough.
Nobody cares. He’ll be gone soon. Then a Federal ICAC with retrospective powers will sort him out.
I doubt the kids give a toss what the racist potato thinks
MSMWatchdog2013 Poor man thinks we still give a damn about his opinions.
Well,Well, he is the one that has no common sense and he will be sitting in the Dark after the Election!
MSMWatchdog2013 What defies common sense is that Dutton is still in Parliament!!!
It's one day off school.I wonder how long his business lunches go on.!!!
Idiot. They should be Striking until Dutton explains how an Ex Copper gets $250 million +
Today's global warming kids, tomorrow's best uber eats customers.
MSMWatchdog2013 EARTH CLIMATE determines the future of ALL life on Earth! HUMAN children inherit the stupidity of their Politically blinded parents!
This knuckle-dragger obviously feels zero responsibility towards his own families future.
Of course he did. I bet the kids are quivering in their boots.
FFS! This was last week. Move on, spud.
Commandant Dutton defies common sense every day
What defies commonsense is the fact that we have to listen to a dinosaur masquerading as a potato. Just because we used to do something one way, doesn’t mean that we can’t grow, learn, & change our ways. Dutton is a disgrace to potatoes everywhere! PeterDutton_MP potato rotten
jackboot?
Dutton defies commonsense every day ... the irony
Maybe if the kids self emulated they'd get the attention of those morons. What a time to have a world wide Dick head leadership. Scumm.o don't want them in the SHIRE Yet the Biloela people have to beg to have their adopted rfgs back. I feel so maligned with this blocking
That’s a huge number of parents, grandparents and future voters Dutton has just alienated.
Dutton lacks common decency
Did you tell him that the horses have bolted?
Talk about 'the boot....?' Dutton is going to feel it fully inserted and at speed in his political rectum in about 8 weeks time. May it remain forever ensconced. We have no Planet B. auspol DuttonMustGo ClimateChangeStrike
auspol Of course he did. Why don't you ask him about his treatment of Aboriginal kids while a policeman? PeterDutton_MP is a wimp of the highest order. He only ever attacks those who can't fight back. chickenshit
It’s just so blatantly fake when Dutton tries the ‘considered & intellectual’ politician routine.
Someone should put the boot into Dutton.
PeterDutton_MP is so ignorant about democracy & global citizenship it’s laughable - he is a contemptible excuse for a human being
Dutton couldnt land a shot if he wanted to on climatebreakdown. He is so committed to denial, he ignores all social justice issues surround a changing climate which means he connects to -noone- except for his mates. The few who care for his opinion wont get him over the line.
Dutton is really trying to lose his seat
Funny thing is they will be shocked when they lose the next election. Muppets
Jack boot
The student strike is long over, a huge success by any measure. What confronts us today is the 'Return to White Australia' conspiracy on the part of neo-Conservatives. Murdoch plays the fiddle and Dutton dances to his tune. Decent Australians say enough is enough.
Not politically asute of the MP. However he may be deflecting scrambling for his immediate survival. Only thinking of today's election not tomorrow's when these vilified young adults will vote.
Well done to the students and their supporters, and don't leave it there, because this sort of ignorant comment should be seen as a call-to-arms! Auspol
He's only kicking the kids, because his favourite targets to lay boots into are burying 50 of their people right now, even this troglodytes minders are cunning enough to keep him quiet on that DuttonMayAsWellHavePulledTheTriggerHimself
Actually, as usual it is Dutton that lacks common sense. Ever heard about the transition that is now taking place. Him and his coal buddies know it will happen over a period of time but they like to paint the picture of gloom and doom as if it will all happen in an instant.
Dutton says people will be left in the dark without coal power... but no one is advocating pulling the plug without transitions in place. The 'extreme left' is really the libs own straw man arguments!
GailCoastie Peter Dutton spectacularly missing the point of the kids’ climate strike.
This man’s policies do not fit with a 21c parliament.
Taters lack common sense.
Info_Aus Dutton is irrelevant
This is an all too predictable 'Look! Over there!' distraction. RottenSpudDutton is up to his eyeballs in Racist Bigoted Muck.
EricMcFadyen He really has NO FKN IDEA!!!
more trees less assholes PeterDutton_MP
All the world's a stage but it's just not yours Dutton. Have you never seen people pedal powering their mobiles while riding to work on a 'shock horror bicycle.? To suggest that people would be sitting in the dark proves you know nothing about renewables.
THIS defies common sense: 'Let the teachers tell their students that and go out on strike - but their mobile phones aren't being charged,' he told 2GB radio on Thursday. Common sense is clearly not Pete’s strong suit.... 😂😂
Negativity!!
Peter Dutton should not be casting stones. The man has so much blood on his hands. May election can’t come soon enough.
Says the flog who jokes about water lapping at people's doors.
Peter Dutton's 'Common Sense' Driving around with an indigenous kid unsecured in a paddy van Spending billions incarcerating refugees without charge for....reasons Joking about rising sea-waters flooding the homes of our allies Spending millions denying medical care to sick kids
The kids are alright! ditchdutton ElectionNow
Why the distraction now? We know he targets the powerless and the vulnerable - the strike has come and gone. Are the accusations of guilt for inciting hatred and bigotry being laid at his feet too confronting.We are not looking the other way Dutton-looking squarely at you!
Dutton, if truth be told, is frightened by Australia's young people. Soon many of them will vote and it doesn't bode well for conservatives who dither and dodge re climate change.
Maybe the kids could make some potato batteries ...
The only way to tackle climatechange is to study hard and innovate, not to skip learning and become dolebludgers.
He’s right Dutton defies commonsense
Surely he is kicking himself in the face with this one.
ldundas96 Poor Pete
The Lib's professed and often repeated rhetoric on energy technology is they take an agnostic approach to technology solutions. Obviously Dutton, a zealot, didn't get the memo.
DeplorableDutton the dungheap from Dickson
Peter I do not think you are in a position to lecture on common sense
Does it really matter what Dutts thinks? He's on the way out and those kids are on the way in
good old Peter. From a government that has no climate change or energy policy after 6 years.
Unlike you, they believe in it and realise that it will soon effect them. It will soon be lights out for you spud head
Deflection
The indoctrinated children, the village gets them when they’re young and vulnerable, the manipulation works best then.
'tis ok. The metaphorical boot will shortly be laid into PeterDutton_MP Election2019 Auspol climatestrike
They have more integrity than you could hope for Mr Dutton.
DianneCostin No Words
Dutton is yesterday's dill and tomorrow's unemployed
Following that 'logic', Norway does not have any mobile phones then?
Um, familiar with the word 'transitioning' PeterDutton_MP? Would it not be 'common sense' to transition to clean/renewable energy? But hey, keep punching yourself in the face champ! You'll be back out on the beat with your copper mates after May.
It defies common sense that this jerk is in parliament
On the contrary, it’s power-mad, corrupt, lowbrow & inept PeterDutton_MP who “defies common sense”. The students are correct, the students are strong. It’s THEIR future
dutton
Hardly the week to be taking the moral high ground. Focus on keeping your fasc on a leash, and let the kids put their minds to saving the planet they’re going to inherit.
No it just dosen't fit in captain coals idea of what he'd like to run on.
