So it turns out there's a Peter Dutton who's become internet famous after various Aussies found his twitter feed and couldn't distinguish between a black man in Texas, USA and the aptly named "Brother Potato".
I would still back Lee Lin Chin for PM (hell, at this point, I'd take a LLC dictatorship over any of the major parties) but Peter Dutton from TX would be an acceptable Deputy!
The current Deputy PM threw her hat in the ring yesterday afternoon, and it looks like she's the preferred leader as far as that portion of Australia that's on social media. Not that she's all that great either (she was a lawyer for an asbestos production company and basically tried to keep asbestosis sufferers from any kind of compensation payout), but if we have to have a conservative in power, she's presently the least objectionable...
We'll probably end up with Peter Dutton (Brother Potato) as PM by the end of the day, though. The right wingers will never accept a woman in leadership.
