Political candidates personality profiles

Post by mellie » Sun Mar 02, 2025 12:12 pm

First, let's get one thing straight... all candidates are self-interested self- assured, and vested in selling not only their policies, but they're deeply invested in selling themselves as relatable fellow human beings we voters will identify and relate with, at least to some extent.

You can have successful ( within their own lives, business affairs , family life etc) candidates, however voters these days genuinly expect much more than a candidate who can get the job done.

Let's face it, there's plenty of successful Australian candidates who could demonstrate these attributes and who could with the right cabinet, take charge of our government without destroying it beyond all hope.

But what do we want?
Or more to the point ๐Ÿ‘‰.....what are some core attributes we as Australians have come to expect of our political leaders?

Ok, we could go on and on defining attributes we'd like to see in the individual who will represent us as a nation on the global stage forever...ie, a good suit, well groomed ( no facial hair) healthy , stable marriage, successful investment portfolio, well spoken ( articulate though not haughty or lay ) humble, the list goes on.

Let's keep it simple, what are 3 attributes that you either like or dislike in our key political leadership candidates?

Mine are as follows....

Dutton:
Assertive and decisive yet not haughty, snide + derisive ( Many candidates struggle with this)
Ie, Definitely Scott Morrison, Turnbull, Rudd and Albanese all struggled with striking this ballance, Dutton appears to have struck a humanoid ballance here, and I appreciate his humility.

Albanese: Overly self- assured "cocky" braggart, who struggles with taking any meaningful criticism or decisive action, preferring to boast about prior achievements ( many he really shouldn't be taking personal credit for) as these pseudo- credits belong to previous governments federal ministers and were someone else's ideas and ๐Ÿ‘‰ the finger towards others. Blame shifter!

Many of Albo's core promises are yet to reach fruition, are currently a work I process.... Apparently! As with all politicians, they table their aspirations, make promises ...however the key difference here is that Albanese's had 3 years to make good of at least one of them, yet what will be his legacy upon his exit?
What will he write his manifesto about? Probably Dutton ๐Ÿ˜†
What has Albanese masterminded, and brought to the table himself during his 3 years as PM?
Positive things this is.

Can anyone here think of anything?

* cricket's chirping *

Appart from desperately attempting to destroy the reputation of his opponent prior to the election?
See Albo's been so consumed, obsessed with laying the boot into Dutton, he's now panicking and trying to buy-back votes and preferences.... with even more promises, despite not keeping the promises he made last election. We were meant to forget all about these you see... ๐Ÿ˜Ž ... and focus on Duttons personal wealth portfolio. Like Albanese's own investment portfolio's are sparse? His fiances are rather interesting, similar to Teresa Reins ( Rudd's wife) who didn't think we'd check ๐Ÿ˜‰

Remember, they may not yet be married, however legally they're as good as given their living arrangements, despite it not quite being 5 years.

Muckraking is generally reserved for shadowy party members/ invisible ministers or media associates hiding in the wings, I think we were all a tad suprised to see our very own PM blatantly discussing his political rivals personal assets.

Perhaps Albanese has ambitions for a position on the ABC'S board of directors, or as a journalist for A Current Affair?
Four Corners even? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Albanese's lack of authenticity and professionalism isn't something that's entirely surprising, however the stench of desperation is palpable, however confident and self assured he tries to convince Australians he is. He just appears desperate, haughty and narky.

He's a has-been, already, and the campaign has barely started.

Talk about foot-in-mouth ๐Ÿ™„

Donald Trump wouldn't take this schoolboy seriously, not even when it were in our own nations best interests and the US,s.

He will join the conga-line of sour-grape ex- ALP shadowy minister's who failed the party, yet still have too much to say, about everything, especially Turnbull who still thinks he's Labors Agent - X who successfully infiltrated the Liberal ranks unnoticed by Australian voters. Painful bloke with more money than sense ...and a pension for ladies footware and sniffing boys bicycle seats.

Dutton mightn't be the prettiest candidate we've ever seen, but he's down to earth and decisive and doesn't appear to have a burning desire to cripple our economy with Leninist ideology in order to change our global world order to please/appease China who he considers his Big Brother from another mother.

Perhaps same father?

Who would know? ๐Ÿค”.... not even him!

See, I can be narky too, but I'm not running as a political candidate, and can say what I think without fear of being taunted or rejected by voters.

Picture Albanese at a press conference, with multiple journalists asking similar questions in rapid fire, " Prime Minister, when will Australians start to feel relief from soaring costs of living?" " What are you doing about Australias housing crisis?" "What about youth crime?" "Public education crisis, was this intentional to drive already struggling families into either despair or into the private sector?" " When are you planning on fixing public health?" " Children are dying in emergency departments due to lethal staff shortages and professional standards not being met." "Was the toddler who passed away recently from inadequate treatment at the northern beaches hospital emergency department Jewish?" " Prime Minister, what are those funny looking ferries circling our ports?".... wherby Albo just stands there failing to answer a single question wearing a " Peter Dutton sux" Tshirt and thinks this will be enough to get him re-elected. ๐Ÿ˜

" Well I have these shirts for $10 guys " " you can all now buy 3 Dutton Sux Tshirts for just $20" " All made in China and personally signed by myself of course." "Never mind those other questions you have there for me, we have more than enough Dutton Sux apparel to go around today, tomorrow and right up until I finally call the election." "Hmmm which I might draw out for as long as I can to pass bills unnoticed by you lot " " Here you go Malcolm, you know a thing or two about lifting shirts, will it fit over your head mate?"

Anthony Albanese says heโ€™s โ€˜openโ€™ to sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine
https://www.news.com.au/national/politi ... 93f90c5919


It is just as good that Albo will be kicked out of the office.
In reaction to Mr Albaneseโ€™s comments, Mr Dutton said he did not support putting Australian troops on the ground
Dutton at least has more sense on this issue.

Australians shouldn't be going to Ukraine full stop.
Their leaders a self- interested inflexible imbecile who lacks regard for even his own nations children, why on earth would Albo even consider this, even if only for peacekeeping?
Would he send his own kid there for a holiday even?
Check our travel advisory.

Albo knows his day's are numbered, so is reeking as much havoc with geopolitical socialist ( commies) as possible before he leaves.

The bigger the mess Albo leaves behind, the more chances of Labor getting back in the election after next, as Dutton will certainly struggle in Labors wake. Will voters get this?

Most expect newly minted governments to wave a magic wand and fix the previous governments deliberate trail of destruction.

There needs to be legislation imposed on both sides to prevent them from deliberately disadvantaging their opponents term in office. US and UK has the same problem.

Same old story, the Soviets ( commies) against Capitalism.....they believe the only pathway forward is to destroy Capitalism in order to restore their new world order, which isn't new at all, just the reds under our beds again, still.. .๐Ÿ™„

Their political process is more attune with terrorism than democracy, hence they're more sympathetic towards their atrocities ie, Hamas, Taliban, Muslims targeting Jews and terrorising them within our communities.

It's time to end the reds!

Should have been ended properly when we had the chance back during the Cold War.

There's no place for this bile in a modern, civilised, democratic Australia.

We need to start by performing a noxious clean upon their covert semi-militant factions, like student unions, LGBTQIA and other vulnerable groups who are susceptible to their brainwashing propaganda, and other minority groups. They're using democracy as a weapon against those who value their rights in democratic societies, perhaps we can create an alternative to unionism, which sadly has been infiltrated by the reds ( Left) aka commies for their globalist agenda? The UN vrs NATO.... time to really take stock of the damage being done, I believe we've underestimated their ability to indoctrinate our youth, via schools, universities, and on-line for those who feel disenfranchised and downtrodden.

Start with protecting our youth, and work our way up from there, eventually cleaning up or dismantling unions all together.
The left are behaving like cult figures complete with ideologies, recruiting kids online on sites where underachieving tech-savvy kids lurk who have little else to do all day long, given so many are on benefits.

Socially destructive cells of individuals who don't wish to form part of mainstream society, they're counter- culture, "alternative " give themselves labels like " neuro- diverse" "Queer" because they feel void of an identity, a purpose.

Let's give them a purpose, Australian kids are our future, cliche as it sounds, we need to focus on making this investment now, rather than writing them off because if we don't, they will become the next gen of Leftard ( red) army of voters who will finish off destroying what's left of our Australian way of life.

We may have no control over what other countries do with their vulnerable youth, or how they manage their destructive ideological breeding grounds, but we can at least manage ours by fumigating our public sectors, beginning with Education, Health, Law enforcement.

Never should we ever see a health care professional openly declaring Jihad on Jewish patients, purely based on their own religious beliefs. This is disgusting, both should be eradicated from working in ANY setting involving the care or education of potentially vulnerable people.

This is why Labors allowed our public sectors to fall into a state of serious concern to begin with, because it's all about creating disorder, chaos, calamity and once the system itself is so broken that it's deemed beyond the point of repair, their agenda is to rebuild their own governments departments from the ashes of a collapsed Capitalist system

Why is this so hard for people to get?

If it were anymore obvious, they'd be announcing their agenda on every billboard in the country.

Time to get serious about our watermelons ๐Ÿ‰.

I have written the above in the simplest way I possibly can, do we need to write picture books?

Yet still, there's this ignorant perception held dear to the hearts of too many Australians that the Greens really do care about our environment and are all about being thoughtful towards minority groups.

They're thoughtful alright, are thinking very hard about what vulnerable group of Australians they can infiltrate, corrupt and recruit next.

Another problem we have here in Australia is "jobs for the boys" we prefer to internally recruit people who have a ancestral connection to politics. The political class is not necessarily the best choice, we need to be recruiting people from a variety of different disciplines and backgrounds, classes etc.

If we are genuinely wanting the best talent to be working in politics.

Eg, Labors ranks are filled with ex-union thugs and miscreants.....Liberals are overly represented with candidates who come from moneyed families or the political class.

My grandmother had this amusing saying... ." You can't put brains in statues. " ... it's synonymous with " you can't put lipstick on a pig."

In other words, regardless of who they are or where they've come from, if they aren't naturally gifted with the necessary skills set for a particular occupation, then they'll be useless.

I think all prospective politicians should sit specific assessments, ie ...
IQ assessments
Full psychometric evaluations
Academic History check
Criminal history and DUI history checks.

Why not?

Everything matters, we need to install the best we have to remain valid, efficient in a highly competitive global economy, our taxes are paying for this afterall, why accept less?

Why employ some doofus whose Dad was a Mayor and had good connections?

We need to get rid of some of our dead wood, it's why we can't seem to be able to overcome the soviet problem, which never went away, it just re-formed and festered into something more "diverse " and rebadged itself like a criminal might re- badge a stolen car, replace it's engine numbers and numberplates to create the illusion it's something it's not.

It's still the same old Reds, with the same old political agenda.

The unions have a stronghold within our government sectors, because they're using democracy and freedom as a weapon against us.

Let's create an alternative to our tired old unions, something that's founded by those who genuinely care about the members and industries they represent, membership should be free, and rather than be organised by bikey mobs, degenerates and gangsters who profit from crime and union donations + companies folding, let's install people of good moral character, people educated and capable of doing the job properly and don't have known connections to bikey mobs, crime syndicates and who have clean ๐Ÿ˜€criminal records.

Wouldn't this be amazing

Time Australians stopped behaving like convicts, the convict culture in our politics needs to be resolved before any nation will take us seriously as an INDEPENDENT and CIVILISED entity.

We've always been little brother, or the colony, I think it's time to downsize our beurocratic paperweights and become ourselves.

And I think we need to start taking ourselves more seriously too, assuming that we want to remain competitive in a global market and context.

The Word thinks we're a pack of paid celebrities, buffoons ,who don't follow global politics because we're too busy lazing on the beach.

Sounds idealic, but it's not our reality and it's time the world knew it.

But first, we need to get real, and sort out our government that's quite frankly, a bad joke. Embarrassing!

Our criminal justice system is also embarrassing.

In the UK, a young naieve prison officer got 2 years for having sexual relations with a prisoner. 2 years without parole.

In Australia, a lowlife strangled his elderly mother to death and got 5 years, non parole.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/mum-murdered- ... 05311.html

Are we building prisons or renovating newly built railway stations and unnecessary infrastructure?
Perhaps we could stop sending billions of dollars to the Ukraine in aid, and start building some necessary infrastructure instead?

In a real world Mellie. That would make perfect sense.
But we are not in a real world anymore. Not since the 1970's.
