Comment on Dutton flip-flops on proposals for three separate referendums if Coalition wins election
zero_gravitas@aussie.zone 2 weeks agoIt’s a bit weird that Dutton doesn’t seem to have much of a plan for the campaign.
That’s what most struck me about this story. Is Dutton really just ad-libbing without a plan? Could it be some kind of Trumpian ploy to suck up attention?

Trump’s strategy is to “flood the zone” (as Steve Bannon puts it) so that all the oxygen for reporting on anything is sucked up. This was also more or less Scott Morrisons strategy when he won, they hired a pair of dweebs from NZ whose job is basically to flood social media with bad memes so that it’s all you see. So it wouldn’t surprise me if what Dutton is doing is a similar strategy.
