From VNV:

On May 19, court proceedings brought by the Dutch Airline Pilots Association (VNV) against the vaccination mandate introduced by KLM for new pilots were filed. The judge made a ruling today.

The judge ruled in favour of the Dutch Airline Pilots Association (VNV). This means that KLM may no longer ask new pilots about their vaccination status against COVID-19 and/or reject them for this reason, risking a fine of EUR 100,000 per violation. The court emphatically takes into account that the effectiveness of the measure can be disputed and that the invasion of privacy in this case outweighs the interest that KLM claims to pursue with this measure, since other solutions are also possible. In addition, in the judge's opinion, KLM is putting too much pressure on new pilots to be vaccinated.

This statement is important to the pilots because it once again makes it clear to KLM that acting unilaterally - in this area or in other areas - is not acceptable. We also see confirmation that agreements also apply to pilots who are not yet employed. We regret that this (once again) required a lawsuit.

Union VNV’s statement: Lawsuit against compulsory vaccination won

https://www.vnv.nl/nieuws/rechtszaak-tegen-vaccinatieplicht-gewonnen

The VNV is pleased with the decision of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal which immediately prohibits KLM from asking candidate pilots about their vaccination status and using this to reject candidates. The VNV endorses the government's position that vaccination is important, but that compulsory vaccination by the employer is not permitted. We were of the opinion that KLM did not comply with this and, moreover, violated our agreements about this, without there being any operational necessity.

Today, the court ruled that the infringement of the fundamental rights of candidates committed by KLM's conduct in the application procedure is disproportionate, because KLM has not been able to demonstrate that there is an operational necessity. The judge says about this: “The importance of KLM to finalize its planning with due observance of the collective labor agreement and to organize its business operations as well as possible is also present, but does not weigh as heavily as the rights of the candidate pilots. This is all the more true now that VNV has argued that there are alternatives that the candidate pilots and many of the pilots already working at KLM want to participate in, such as conducting (per) tests, which can also achieve the goal of effective planning. become."

Under penalty of a penalty of EUR 100,000 per violation, the court has immediately prohibited KLM from collecting and/or using information in any way about the vaccination status against COVID-19 and/or rejecting candidates because they indicate that they are not have been vaccinated and/or do not wish to have a vaccination. If KLM can demonstrate that operational problems will arise in the future due to travel restrictions for its personnel, the VNV is always prepared to look for solutions that do not disproportionately infringe on its (candidate) pilots.

Peter Westerneng, VNV President:

In several countries, judges have already put a stop to a (Corona) vaccination obligation. Not so long ago, several hospitals in the Netherlands spoke out against such a duty and indicated that they would not apply it. KLM thought otherwise and introduced a vaccination obligation for new pilots, after which the Dutch Air Traffic Pilots Association (Association of Dutch Airline Pilots) went to court.
After summary proceedings on May 19, the judge today rendered a decision and canceled the vaccination obligation for new pilots that KLM had introduced, contrary to agreements with the VNV. KLM is prohibited from inquiring about the vaccination status of new pilots and taking this into account in the application process, on pain of hefty fines.
Incidentally, the VNV is far from opposing vaccination, but it is an obligation!

Video: Fauci Openly Admits Biden Mask Mandate Is About Preserving “Authority”

“It’s more of a matter of principle of where the authority lies”

Appearing on Fox News Wednesday, Anthony Fauci appeared to admit that the Biden administration’s efforts to reinstate mask mandates on planes and trains is about preserving “authority” over public health decisions, not about keeping people safe.

Earlier in the week, the Justice Department asked an appeals court to overturn a federal judge’s order that mask mandates were unlawful.

As we noted in April, Joe Biden’s CDC extended mask mandates for Americans on planes and public transport, while the administration sought to simultaneously end all COVID restrictions for migrants crossing illegally into the United States.

Fauci said at the time that more time was needed and that mask mandates should be kept in place. Now he admits it’s not about health concerns, but purely about maintaining power.

Speaking with Fox host Neil Cavuto, Fauci said “One of the issues, Neil, that I have articulated in the past and I will in the future – it’s less about mandates on the plane than it is about who has the right and the authority and the capability of making public health decisions.”

He continued, “I believe that the Department of Justice is operating on the principle that decisions that are public health decisions belong with the public health agency, in this case, the CDC.”

“So it’s more of a matter of principle of where the authority lies than it is about whether or not there’s gonna be a mandate on a plane or not,” Fauci declared.

Watch:

When Cavuto further asked Fauci if he believes masks on planes are still necessary, Fauci responded “I do, I mean the CDC continues to recommend that when people fly, that they wear masks,” adding “The mandate has been pulled back on the decision of the court, but that does not change the recommendation of the CDC, Neil, or my own personal preference.”

These tyrants never give back freedoms once they seize power.

Guerini: missione Nato, nostri contingenti anche in Ungheria e Bulgaria

2 Giugno 2022 POLITICA, News, Vetrina

“Con la prossima delibera missioni saremo presenti, se il Parlamento sarà d’accordo, anche in Ungheria e Bulgaria con i nostri contingenti”. Lo afferma al ‘Tg1’ il ministro della Difesa, Lorenzo Guerini.

Missione Nato

“In Bulgaria avremo la guida di questa missione, sono missioni della Nato – spiega il ministro – per rafforzare la deterrenza sul fianco est. La deterrenza serve per prevenire i conflitti e per rafforzare le condizioni di sicurezza. Insieme a questo – sottolinea – c’è il lavoro che tutte le nostre Forze Armate stanno facendo in altri quadranti del mondo, con particolare attenzione al Mediterraneo in cui siamo impegnati per la stabilità, per la sicurezza e per la pace”.

Armi all’Ucraina

Quanto all’invio di armi all’Ucraina, “l’Italia sta agendo con tutta la comunità internazionale per rispondere all’aggressione all’Ucraina – ricorda Guerini -. Lo sta facendo sostenendo le sanzioni, lo sta facendo rinnovando tutti gli sforzi diplomatici per arrivare alla pace, lo fa anche attraverso il supporto alla resistenza ucraina, delle Forze Armate ucraine con materiale che serve all’Ucraina per difendersi dall’aggressione. Questa è la scelta che ha fatto il Parlamento e il Governo si sta muovendo nel solco di queste direzioni”. ADNKRONOS

Vaiolo delle scimmie, Pregliasco: tracciamento e quarantena

30 Maggio 2022Argomenti, News

“Sul vaiolo delle scimmie sicuramente stiamo vedendo la punta dell’iceberg. In questo momento è fondamentale, senza allarmismi, parlarne e riuscire a circoscrivere l’incendio finché è piccolo”. Se lo faremo, “credo che nell’arco di un mese o 2 in Italia potremmo avere un centinaio, massimo qualche centinaio di casi”. Se invece non ne saremo capaci, “nello scenario peggiore i casi potrebbero arrivare a qualche migliaio”.

Il virologo Fabrizio Pregliasco, docente all’università Statale di Milano, rinnova l’invito ad “agire ora. L’incendio va spento adesso mentre ancora è limitato”, ribadisce all’Adnkronos Salute.

Nell’ultimo aggiornamento sui focolai di Monkeypox virus, l’Organizzazione mondiale della sanità ha riportato 257 casi confermati e circa 120 sospetti in 23 Paesi. Contati atipici, in nazioni in cui l’infezione non è endemica, che l’Oms considera l’inizio di una diffusione destinata ad aumentare.

Tracciamento e quarantena

Il direttore dell’Irccs Galeazzi concorda: “Bisogna far sì che ci possa essere un tracciamento efficace, un’individuazione dei casi sospetti e dei contatti stretti”, dice Pregliasco. Contatti per i quali, ripete, “sarebbe opportuno predisporre una quarantena di 21 giorni“. Dopo la lezione Covid, “confido nella capacità organizzativa del Paese per tamponare i casi. E’ chiaro – precisa l’esperto – che moltissimo dipende anche dalla responsabilità dei singoli, in termini di comportamenti e di segnalazione di eventuali sintomi dell’infezione“.

“Il prossimo autunno sarà problematico sul fronte della pandemia. Molto, molto difficile. In questo momento di tranquillità e tregua dal punto di vista epidemiologico, sarebbe bene, questa volta, prepararsi: quando si deve rifare il tetto si rifà quando non piove o nevica. Questo dovrebbe essere lo spirito”. A dirlo all’Adnkronos Salute Walter Ricciardi, docente di Igiene all’università Cattolica e consigliere del ministro della Salute Roberto Speranza.

Vaccinazioni ai bambini

“Prepararsi per ottobre è fondamentale. Dobbiamo lavorare per essere pronti, quindi intensificare le vaccinazioni per gli ultraottantenni e per i bambini“, ha affermato.

“Per l’autunno dobbiamo guardare all’altro emisfero”, dove le stagioni sono invertite rispetto alle nostre, “che ci sta dimostrando cosa temere. In questo momento in Australia sono in crisi i pronto soccorso, nonostante il Paese abbia affrontato molto seriamente la pandemia con un lungo e duro isolamento”. Mentre ci prepariamo ad un’estate più tranquilla sul piano della pandemia “dall’altra parte del mondo ci arrivano segnali su quello che potrebbe essere il nostro autunno”, ha concluso Ricciardi.

As sanctions fail and Russia advances, Western media changes its tune on Ukraine

Western media outlets, once cheerleaders for Kiev, are increasingly warning sanctions are failing and Ukraine needs to make peace

As sanctions fail and Russia advances, Western media changes its tune on Ukraine

Even as the collective West continues to insist – against all observable reality – that the conflict in Ukraine is going well for Kiev, major media outlets are becoming increasingly uneasy with the situation on the economic front. More and more observers are admitting that the embargoes imposed by the US and its allies aren’t crushing the Russian economy, as originally intended, but rather their own.

Meanwhile, major publications have begun to report on the actual situation on the frontlines, rather than uncritically quoting myths like the ‘Ghost of Kiev’ or ‘Snake Island 13’ propagated by Volodymyr Zelensky’s office, as they did early on. There have even been hints, however timid, that the West should perhaps stop unconditionally supporting Kiev and promote a negotiated peace instead.

“Russia is winning the economic war,” the Guardian’s economics editor Larry Elliott declared on Thursday. “It is now three months since the west launched its economic war against Russia, and it is not going according to plan. On the contrary, things are going very badly indeed,” he wrote.

Elliott actually argues that the recent US announcement of sending rocket launchers to Ukraine is proof that sanctions are not working: “The hope is that modern military technology from the US will achieve what energy bans and the seizure of Russian assets have so far failed to do: force [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to withdraw his troops.”

Kremlin describes current relations with US

In a May 30 essay, Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins also said that the embargo had failed to force a Russian withdrawal, but argued the EU should “stick to helping Ukraine’s war effort” instead, while withdrawing the sanctions because they are “self-defeating and senselessly cruel.”

As Jenkins points out, the sanctions have actually raised the price of Russian exports such as oil and grain – thus enriching, rather than impoverishing, Moscow while leaving Europeans short of gas and Africans running out of food.

Note that Jenkins is wrong about the supposed effectiveness of Western weapons, given that Russian and Donbass troops have won a series of victories over the past month – from Popasnaya to Liman. On May 26, the Washington Post of all places published a shockingly frank account of how one Ukrainian unit lost more than half its strength near Severodonetsk and retreated to the rear. Its commanders actually got arrested for treason after speaking to the US outlet.

This reality couldn’t be ignored by even the Telegraph’s defense editor, Con Coughlin, who’s become somewhat of a meme for prophesying Russian defeat on a weekly basis. He is now saying Moscow might pull off a “shock triumph” – albeit in service of his argument that Kiev needs even more weapons.

The collective West’s failure to break Russia was apparent even to The Economist, not exactly a publication sympathetic to Moscow. The newspaper reluctantly admitted a month ago that the Russian economy had bounced back from the initial sanctions shock. Meanwhile, it’s the West that has to deal with energy shortages, spiraling costs of living, and record inflation. It’s Americans, not Russians, who can’t find baby formula in stores and can’t afford gas.

Perhaps that’s why this “spring of discontent” with the Western sanctions policy hasn’t been confined to the European side of the Atlantic. On Tuesday, the New York Times ran an op-ed by Christopher Caldwell in which he criticized the Biden administration for “closing off avenues of negotiation and working to intensify the war” by sending more and more weapons to Kiev.

“The United States is trying to maintain the fiction that arming one’s allies is not the same thing as participating in combat,” Caldwell wrote, pointing out that this distinction is getting “more and more artificial” in the information age. A day later, the head of the US Cyber Command admitted to conducting offensive operations against Russia on Ukraine’s behalf.

US cyber chief admits to attacks against Russia in Ukraine

The US has “given Ukrainians cause to believe they can prevail in a war of escalation,” Caldwell wrote, which is why Kiev isn’t eager to make peace. Indeed, when none other than Henry Kissinger tried to argue in Davos for settling the conflict quickly, Zelensky’s office cursed him out. He was soon designated an enemy of the Ukrainian state.

There have been calls for an off-ramp to the war even earlier – though few and far between, and lost amid the ongoing cacophony of media cheerleading for Kiev. Back on May 18, the usually hawkish Charles Kupchan of the Council of Foreign Relations advised Ukraine in the pages of The Atlantic to “take the W,” so to speak.

“Russia has already been dealt a decisive strategic defeat,” he wrote. “For NATO and Ukraine alike, strategic prudence argues in favor of pocketing these successes rather than pressing the fight and running the tantamount risks.” NATO, Kupchan added, should advise the Ukrainian government on how to end the bloodshed, and soon.

The very next day, the New York Times’ editorial board echoed his argument, saying a decisive Ukrainian victory over Russia was “not a realistic goal” and that US President Joe Biden should tell Zelensky that there is a limit to which the US will go.

“It is imperative that the Ukrainian government’s decisions be based on a realistic assessment of its means and how much more destruction Ukraine can sustain,” they wrote.

Ukrainian negotiator rules out deal with Russia

Judging by the official statements coming from both the White House and Kiev, however, the conversation Kupchan and the NYT advised never took place. Instead, the US continues to give Ukraine a blank check, of the kind Germany offered to Austria-Hungary in 1914.

Speaking of First World War analogies, a senior political scientist at the RAND corporation – a think-tank advising the Pentagon – made one in Foreign Affairs on Tuesday. According to Samuel Charap, the creation of Belgium as a neutral state by its neighbors was to everyone’s benefit for almost a century, with Britain willing to fight Germany in 1914 to preserve it. The neutrality arrangement proposed at the talks in Istanbul in late March could provide Ukraine with the same thing, he said.

Too bad, then, that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had personally intervened to scuttle those talks back in April, telling the Ukrainians that if they wanted to make a deal with Moscow, the

ELEZIONI DEL 2023: LA PROSSIMA TRUFFA ANNUNCIATA, COME LE ELEZIONI COMITES TRUFFATE DA DI MAIO

Il perché del ricorso al TAR di Roma per il Comites di Basilea e Zurigo

Per la prima volta nella storia dei Comites è stato inoltrato un ricorso al TAR per salvaguardare la legalità dei Comites. In specifico i requisiti legali dei membri per rappresentare la comunità italiana all’estero. Una prima in assoluto. Non è poco. I membri dei Comites di Zurigo e Basilea uscenti non sono stati all’ altezza di tutelare e assistere i cittadini truffati dal patronato INCA/ CGIL. Parecchi dei vecchi membri sono transitati ora nei nuovi Comites e l’ esecutivo è rimasto in pratica invariato.

I nuovi-vecchi consiglieri hanno testualmente dichiarato che se ne fregano dei danneggiati della truffa dell’ INCA/ CGIL e che proibiscono ogni discussione in merito. In speciale il Comites di Basilea è situato nello stesso locale e sullo stesso piano dell’ufficio Inca prima chiuso per fallimento e poi riaperto sotto un’ altro nome per eludere il risarcimento degli assistiti truffati. Responsabile dell’ufficio ignobile era contemporaneamente presidente del Comites.C’è da meravigliarsi se i consiglieri che fanno parte della lista di maggioranza dei due Comites fanno parte di una struttura della quale la legge ne vieta l’appartenenza per potersi candidare ai Comites. Struttura che supportava la loro elezione ? Ossia il patronato Ital-Uil gemellato con l’ INCA/ CGIL.

Parliamo della legge che costituisce i Comites.

La legge prevede che i dipendenti dello Stato italiano che prestano servizio all’ estero, ivi compresi il personale a contratto, nonché quelle che detengono cariche istituzionali sono ineleggibili. I corrispondenti consolari devono essere provvisti di un’autorizzazione ministeriale e dipendono dal Consolato di riferimento. Ossia sono a tutti gli effetti dipendenti dello Stato italiano. La legge è molto chiara.

Facilmente comprensibile perché la legge escluda i corrispondenti consolari dai Comites tenendo conto tra altri di un principio fondamentale fissato nella costituzione ovvero la garanzia della parità formale di opportunità dell'elettorato passivo allo scopo di eliminare meccanismi distorsivi della competizione elettorale tra i candidati. Il titolare di una carica o di un mandato speciale potrebbe, infatti, utilizzare la propria posizione di supremazia o di poteri del proprio ufficio per esercitare un’indebita interferenza sulla competizione ai fini della raccolta del consenso elettorale nell'ambito della comunità locale, e per questo la legge ne prevede giustamente l’ineleggibilità. Sul sito del consolato di Zurigo tra le funzioni dei corrispondenti consolari si legge che questi in particolare non devono approfittare della loro posizione per effettuare attività di propaganda a qualunque titolo a beneficio proprio o di terzi. Appunto si vuole garantire la parità formale di opportunità.

La legge prevede l’ ineleggibilità anche per gli amministratori e i legali rappresentanti dei comitati per l’assistenza che ricevono finanziamenti pubblici. Questo vale per gli amministratori e legali rappresentanti di sedi di patronato all’ estero che ricevono finanziamenti pubblici anche se vogliono fare credere l’incontrario.

In questo caso la legge vuole assicurare un altro principio base di ogni democrazia: la separazione dei poteri. La legge chiede ai Comites che si esprimano sulle iniziative del Consolato e sulle attività dei patronati. Se non ci fosse l’ineleggibilità i dipendenti del Consolato e di patronato di fatto valuterebbero il loro stesso operato. Esecuzione e valutazione concentrati sulla stessa persona. Il seme per attività illecite sarebbe pronto a sbocciare nutrito dalla mancanza di qualsiasi controllo.

Un esempio clamoroso di come la mancanza della separazione dei poteri possa avere un’ influenza deleteria lo dimostra l’ ignobile truffa del responsabile del patronato INCA/ CGIL e contemporaneamente membro del Comites di Zurigo. Il Comites di Zurigo istaurato per assistere e tutelare i cittadini non è intervenuto per i cittadini rimasti vittime di un loro membro. Nemmeno al Comites di Basilea la truffa è stata mai all’ordine del giorno poiché il presidente contemporaneamente era presidente dell’ INCA/ CGIL di Basilea. Un magna-magna intercomites.

La lista sostenute dall’ Ital-Uil vicina all’ INCA/ CGIL detiene la maggioranza nei Comites di Basilea a di Zurigo. I membri evitano ogni approfondimento dell’ineleggibilità altrimenti si dovrebbero autoescludere. Chi detiene la maggioranza nel Comites può dichiarare eleggibile chiunque anche un’infame criminale. L’affare della truffa INCA/ CGIL lo insegna.

In più nel Comites di Basilea sono censurati i verbali, è soppressa ogni iniziativa e ogni argomentazione non conforme alla linea, è zittita ogni differenza con la maggioranza attraverso calunnie e diffamazioni. Tutto è rivolto a fini sconosciuti che non sono quelli dell’assistenza e tutela dei cittadini.

Queste sono le ragioni che ci ha spinti ad affidarsi al TAR di Roma. Abbiamo promesso tutela e assistenza a chi ci ha eletti. Abbiamo promesso giustizia ai danneggiati dell’INCA/ CGIL. Manterremmo le nostre promesse anche se non piace a chi non vuole osservare la legge.

Siamo sicuri che i 98% degli italiani residenti all’ estero che non hanno votato per il rinnovo dei comites ci darebbe ragione.

US cyber chief admits to attacks against Russia in Ukraine

Cyber Command went “hunting” in Kiev, says General Nakasone

US Cyber Command specialists were deployed to Ukraine and conducted offensive operations against Russia, its commander and NSA Director General Paul Nakasone said on Wednesday.

In an interview with Sky News, on the sidelines of a cyber conference in Estonia, Nakasone also revealed that US eavesdroppers conduct information warfare, with the help of corporate media such as CNN.

Nakasone, a four-star general, heads both the Cyber Command and the National Security Agency out of Fort Meade, Maryland. He was in Tallinn on Wednesday for CyCon – the 14th International Conference on Cyber Conflict, hosted by NATO.

In the interview with Sky, the general said US cyber specialists have been deployed to 16 overseas countries at the invitation of their allied governments, to “hunt forward”: seek out foreign hackers and identify the tools they use.

“We went in December 2021 at the invitation of the Kiev government to come and hunt with them. We stayed there for a period of almost 90 days,” Nakasone said. This team left Ukraine in February, along with all other US troops, ahead of the Russian incursion.

Nakasone also confirmed – for the very first time, according to Sky – that the US was conducting offensive hacking operations in support of Ukraine.

We’ve conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum; offensive, defensive, [and] information operations.

According to the general, the difference between Russian and US information warfare is that Moscow lies while Washington tells the truth. As an example, he cited a 2020 case of “troll farms” he said Russia was developing in Africa. The NSA and Cyber Command responded by informing the FBI – but also CNN, which provided “a flashlight that suddenly exposes this type of malicious behavior.”

NSA promises ‘no backdoors’ in new encryption

In December 2020, Facebook announced a purge of accounts – allegedly both Russian and French – suspected of “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” in central and northern Africa.

Nakasone said that the NSA and CYBERCOM have been developing this “strategic disclosure” since 2018, when he took over as the leader of both. As other examples, he said the NSA also put forth information about what “the Russians were trying to do in our midterm elections” in 2018 as well as in 2020. Moscow has denied any meddling in US elections, electronic or otherwise.

“The ability for us to share that information, being able to ensure it’s accurate and it’s timely and it’s actionable on a broader scale has been very, very powerful in this crisis,” he said.

US intelligence officials admitted to NBC News in April that they have leaked intelligence to the media about the conflict in Ukraine that was either “not rock solid” or was outright made up on multiple occasions, in order to win an “info war” against Russia. The misinformation was part of an effort to “undermine Moscow’s propaganda and prevent Russia from defining how the war is perceived in the world,” they said.

The devastation wrought on Australia’s Coalition government on May 21 by the electorate had a stunning, cleansing effect. Previously inconceivable scenarios were played out in safe, Liberal-held seats that had, for decades, seen few, if any challenges, from an alternative political force. But the survival of one figure would have proved troubling, not only to the new Labor government, but to many Liberal colleagues lamenting the ruins. The pugilists and head knockers, however, would have felt some relief. Amidst the bloodletting, hope.

As he has done before, Peter Dutton, former Queensland policeman and failed university student, high priest of division and shorn of compassion, the face of Fortress Australia, survived the electoral challenge. Earlier in the night, it did not seem that he would hold on to the Queensland seat of Dickson. His opponent, Labor’s Ali France, looked ready to assume the reins. But survive, he did, as he has done previously at several ballots. His rival and obvious successor to take over the Liberal Party, Josh Frydenberg, did not.

Dutton, Australia’s new opposition leader, is a reactionary, though he must couch his ascent to the leadership in more accommodating terms. He is a reminder of a brand of politics that Australia’s conservative Prime Minister John Howard made the norm: callous, self-centred, free of vision and hostile to outsiders. Under Howard, illegal wars were launched, a national security state created, and torturous offshore detention centres established in Pacific outposts. His time in office was characterised by an oleaginous, ignorant smugness.

It was Dutton who seemingly wanted to stay on this mummified path. In the tribal wars affecting his own party, which saw an ongoing battle between Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull, both eventually having spells as Liberal Prime Ministers, Dutton played his dagger’s hand. Towards Turnbull, he was particularly vicious, cultivating hard line support for his own leadership credentials.

It was Dutton who finally saw off the meeker and more moderate Turnbull in August 2018, signalling his own leadership challenge with the subtlety of a hangman and the graciousness of a prison escapee. But his time to be leader had not come. Within the Liberal Party, Dutton was seen as electoral bile in various seats in Victoria and New South Wales, an extreme and extremist’s choice. He may have engineered the assassination in favour of conservative values, but the profits of leadership would go to Scott Morrison and his deputy Josh Frydenberg.

In his autobiography, A Bigger Picture, Turnbull explained why, in the palace coup, he preferred Morrison as his replacement. “Dutton, were he to become prime minister, would run off to the right with a divisive, dog-whistling, anti-immigration agenda, written and directed by Sky News and 2GB.”

Turnbull’s reading of politics, for all his qualities as a legal advocate, seemed cock-eyed. Morrison had his own penchant for division, dog-whistling and anti-immigration. And the former merchant banker, intellectually superior as he was, never saw Dutton as a viable threat, having “assumed people have a reasonable amount of self-awareness”. Given such awareness, Dutton never struck the defeated Turnbull “as being so self-delusional and narcissistic as to imagine that he could successfully lead the Liberal Party. More relevantly, it had never occurred to me that others would think he could either.”

Under Morrison, Dutton became all that is terrifying about the national security state and corrosive to democratic accountability. He ruled over Australia’s new super Department of Home Affairs and showed every sign of loving it. More national security legislation was passed, privacy protections eroded, surveillance encouraged.

Dutton also became the dour face of anti-China jingoism and bellicosity, often making spurious historical comparisons. (The 1930s has been something of a favourite.) When he found his way to the role of Defence Minister, he began trumpeting arguments for war, making it clear that Australia would unconditionally commit troops to a conflict against Beijing over Taiwan.

The process now is one of cosmetic tinkering: a nip here, a tuck there. Unlike other leaders who speak of discovering inner steel, Dutton is keen to promote an inner, non-existent softness. In a statement released to the press, he threatened to show Australians “the rest of my character, the side my family, friends and colleagues see.” His wife, Kirilly, irrelevantly informs us of his remarkable skills as a father, his “great sense of humour” and his “incredible passion”. His defenders claim to know a New World of intellect lurking like newly discovered permafrost.

West Australian premier Mark McGowan, and former Australian prime ministers Kevin Rudd and Paul Keating, see things rather differently. For McGowan, Dutton is an “extremist”, incapable of listening, “extremely conservative” and not “that smart”. Rudd sees an “idiot” who believes that more shouting and stitching of hair on the chest in the morning somehow improves “your overall strategic circumstances with China and the United States”. Keating detects a “dangerous personality” intent on “injecting Australia into a potentially explosive situation in North Asia”.

In terms of where he sees his party going, Dutton is proving gnomic and unconvincing. “We aren’t the Moderate party. We aren’t the Conservative party. We are Liberals. We are the Liberal party. We believe in families – whatever their composition.” He tautologically claimed to back businesses “small” and “micro’”, while standing for the “aspirational, hard-working ‘forgotten’ people across cities, suburbs, regions and in the bush.”

Media hacks are doing their bit to suggest a more nuanced man behind the thuggish visage. Miraculously, veteran journalist Michelle Grattan can spot a “complicated” figure. There are “two Peter Duttons: the public sword carrier and the mask-like face and the non-public person, who is routinely described as charming, with a sense of humour, and politically more granular than you think.”

Such a profile could be applied to many: the dedicated war criminal with a love of family, sunsets and fine wines; the concentration camp guard who went about his work with diligence and returned back to hearty stews and his rare stamp collection. Look more closely, and there are always two sides. But which one wins out, in the end?
