Day 15

“As Price got into full flight, Dutton’s team tried to end the press conference.

But Price kept talking.”

“When the press conference’s final question turned to Price’s plans for cutting #GovernmentWaste in a potential #Coalition cabinet, the senator seized her moment. In 11 minutes, she traversed everything from the indoctrination of students to “silly ideas around ideological things like colonising breastfeeding”.

There had been no plan for Dutton’s spokeswoman for #IndigenousAffairs and government efficiency to take centre stage. Half an hour earlier, Price had led a rallying cry to “make Australia great again”.

Discipline, focus, strategy?
