1. Peter Dutton tweeted that prime minister Malcolm Turnbull had his support a few days before he (unsuccessfully) challenged for the top job in a leadership spill.
In relation to media stories today, just to make very clear, the Prime Minister has my support and I support the policies of the Government. My position hasn’t changed from my comments last Thursday.
2. He really likes American crime drama series The Shield.
At the risk of offending some of my dear friends and family - my favourite Christmas present is The Shield DVD set. Great watch.
3. He was really angry when Channel 7 delayed coverage of the Australian Open.
Is ch 7 serious delaying the tennis for HOME AND AWAY? Give me a break.
4. His favourite royal is Prince Philip.
Prince Philip is definitely my favourite royal.
5. He lifted his Twitter game.
Warned for using twitter. Lift my game.
6. He don his blog.
I am doning my blog at dailytelegraph.com.au.
7. He is jealous of former prime minister Kevin Rudd’s hair.
KRudds fringe looks like its been welded on this morn. More hair spray than Dame Edna.#flickredundant #jealousmyhairproblemisntsoeasilyfixed
8. He found it funny when Rudd and former prime minister Julia Gillard hugged.
The Gillard/Rudd embrace 1 of the funniest things in a long time. It had all the ease of 2 kids kissing for the 1st time at a school dance.
9. He thinks dirty lefties are “too easy”.
You dirty lefties are too easy. Enjoy your weekend.
10. He pondered whether a female political journalist was going on a date.
Latika must have a date after qn time? Wearing big new dangly earings and a big purple flower.
11. Sometimes he tweets about “immi”...
In immi we've saved $500m from the closure of some detention centres. Great announcements 4 small business, youth, families & pensioners.
12. ...which is short for immigration.
The removal of the last IMA child from detention shows the Govt has been true to its commitment to get children out of immi. detention
13. He is grateful to cricketer Ashton Agar for sparking Dutton’s wife’s interest in cricket.
Regardless of the outcome thankyou #ashtonagar for lighting a little spark of cricket interest in my wife #firsttimesheishappytowatchcricket
14. Because he really just loves Test cricket.
Just returned from taking the kids to the movies and the cricket's all over :(. Test cricket: still the best form of the game.
15. It makes him swear sometimes.
Bugger....
16. He likes to warn his followers of visa cancellations.
People who abuse the privilege of living in Aust can expect to have their visas cancelled under this Government.
17. And update them on visa cancellations.
Visas cancelled last year | NSW – 359, QLD – 301, VIC – 173, WA – 168, SA – 41.
18. Like, a lot.
We’ve cancelled 450 visas since July 2014 for ppl convicted of serious crimes while in Aust & also refused 100 visas since the 1st of Jan.
19. He wants you to dream about former Queensland premier Campbell Newman.
I've enjoyed stirring up all you little social inclusions. On a flight now. Sleep well. Dream about Campbell.
20. Y pharmacy.
y pharmacy.
21. He woke up early once on his son’s birthday to help him build Lego.
My "baby" turns 7 today. Feeling old. He had a 4.30am start - new leggo set fully constructed by 6am. Happy birthday Tommy.
22. He wondered whether Gillard had a problem with men.
I watched ch 7. Does julia have a problem with men?? The male worm certainly thought so.
23. He denied boxer Floyd Mayweather a visa.
Re: Mayweather - visa has not been granted in this case. Aust govt takes character tests very seriously.
24. He reminds his followers regularly about his interviews with shock jock Ray Hadley.
Getting ready for my weekly catchup with Ray Hadley on @2GB873 @NewsTalk4BC - tune in now.
25. He once photobombed a photo.
Welcoming new Senator Joanna Lindgren to the Party Room by photobombing her selfie with @Wyatt_MP #auspol
26. He compared former treasurer Wayne Swan to Sesame Street puppet Elmo.
Elmo is on ch 9 & wayne swan on insiders - one parrots lines when u wind it up the other is a favourite kids character
27. He tweets about boat turn backs a lot.
Operation Sovereign Borders has foiled another people smuggling venture. Three boats turned back this year.
28. And about how Labor doesn’t like them.
Regardless whether it's Anthony Albanese or Tanya Plibersek, what we know for sure is that the next Labor leader opposes turn backs.
29. He doesn’t post tweet threads often, but when he does, they’re about offshore detention.
(1/3) The Coalition will introduce legislation 2 send the critical msg to ppl smugglers & those giving false hope to people on Manus & Nauru
30. I do not know what this means.
ees (from 30 years ago).
31. He held a puppy once.
