Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has ordered Victorian Labor to remove a meme from its social media accounts that mocked Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and his wife.
Tbh what I find grubby is pretending that this ad was actually attacking Dutton’s wife, and not Dutton himself. And I find Albo’s caving to pressure and strong-arming his party’s other branches grubby.
Also grubby is Dutton thinking it’s appropriate to use his wife to clean up his name but then think responding to that precise and is inappropriate. It’s a grubby double standard.

I might not have remembered her defence had Albo not conspicuously ordered them to take it down.
Could it be a cleaver use of the Streisand effect? Or am I giving them too much credit?
Never mind the sort of attacks that the libs/their propaganda wing are more than happy to level.
