Another day, another Peter Dutton lie

DUTTON: it shows how tricky and deceptive the government is. And frankly, they should have passed this legislation before now, but they haven't for their own political reasons. We can provide you that detail.
Peter Dutton Doorstop, 8 December 2024

The Albanese Government legislation created new criminal offences to outlaw doxxing with serious penalties of up to 7 years imprisonment.

Peter Dutton misled Australians today.

Either he didn’t know the laws passed the Parliament or he is so blinded by politics he just doesn’t care.

One thing we do know is that Mr Dutton couldn’t be bothered turning up to vote on the bill that passed despite the opposition of the Liberal Party.
