The attacks from Chalmers and Albanese on One Nation have become increasingly desperate. Yesterday they crossed a line.
No matter how worried Jim and Albanese are about losing their jobs, telling Australians that their democratically elected opponents are βdangerousβ and a βthreat to our countryβ invites people to treat them as a threat.
Words have consequences.
That is how political violence is incited.
The murder of Ann Widdecombe in Britain should be warning enough about the dangers of poisonous political rhetoric.
Anthony Albanese says we need to turn down the heat and violent rhetoric in our political discourse.
Meanwhile, he and his Treasurer are pouring petrol all over it.
Australians are entitled to vote for One Nation without being told by the Treasurer and the Prime Minister that their democratic choice is a danger to the nation.
The real danger is that Jim and Albanese's incompetent economic management will continue to push your rent, your mortgage and your bills even higher.
The real danger to Jim and Albanese is that the people of Australia are coming for their government⦠at the ballot box.
