From the get-go, let us just say that the entire crew here at The Bug – and not just our Xcrement-of-the-Week judges were horrified, nay deeply disturbed, that Opposition Leader Peter Dutton had a pretty bad time of it last week.

Even the right-wing section of the mainstream mediocre – and that’s almost 100 per cent -were talking reluctantly of the LNP’s wheels getting wobbly or indeed falling off.

Our concerns were slightly different to the MSM though. Nagging doubts remained as to whether Dutton’s and the LNP’s fortunes might not continue decline in the few months left before polling day. As this column has declared before, if the LNP only suffers one term in opposition for all the shitty, corrupt and incompetent things they did over three terms – Robodebt would be enough – then it will be a very sad day for this country.

It’s why we’ve already declared that this column will be gunning for Dutton and his duds in the weeks ahead. So let’s do that.

Our Xcreta judges poured over some great memes over the past week, and they’d like to highlight the two (at top and below) from tim ritchie and Roen

Other top memes came from Politic@l Spinner and Gee.

A fair bit of bark came off Dutton last week over several issues, but probably the most damaging was his un-thought-through bubble to have an expensive referendum to throw out the dual citizens who are raping and murdering true-blue Aussies after eating their cats and dogs. That’s us paraphrasing.

LNP colleagues originally grateful that Dutton might have come up with a policy that could appeal to racist Australians quickly cottoned onto the fact it was a bullshit idea. That and a slightly different version of Dutton’s dog-whistling, culture-war trickery were picked apart by Dr Sheep Person Podge, Vaxatious Litigant, Allan Coates and Kate Chaney.

Another Dutton stumble came when he forgot to simply call Anthony Albanese weak over and over and over and over and over again and suggested the PM was also limp-wristed.

Katzilla picked up on the fact that like all bullies, Dutton hid away and let an underling say sorry on his behalf. Too gutless to fess up to his own mistakes. Surely he could have grabbed a microphone and explain he was, after all, once a Queensland copper. All would have been forgiven, surely.

Tom, etc, etc, had some cruel things to say about LNP voters generally…

… and Miss Polly, GregMarSki and IssacFloyd had their own issues to void on…
