The education minister, Jason Clare, said opposition leader Peter Dutton had shown “all the empathy of a rock” in responding to Robodebt.

Clare told Sky News:

The fact that Peter Dutton on the day that this came down, went straight to politics showed that this bloke doesn’t get it. It’s not about that. It’s about Jennifer [Miller]. It’s about people like her. You know, a number of people lost their live others tried to take their own life, ended up in hospital and they’re still dealing with that. That’s the real human consequence of this. And that should always be kept in mind here.

I’d say that a rock would have shown more sympathy to the victims than a potato

    That’s an improvement from “as much empathy as Voldemort”.

      They recently started sending newsletter emails (hit my spam, thank God) that were super excited to let us know about his friends sharing “rare insight” into the “real Peter Dutton” which was just a fucking wild thing to hear.

      Like if your leader requires “rare insight” for people to think he’s not an ethically bankrupt sociopath/crypto christiofascist then jesus christ.
