Meet Peter Dutton. He's a 30-year-old popcorn entrepreneur living in Austin, Texas. Importantly, he is not an Australian politician.
I wish the people of Australia would look at my profile and realize I’m a 30 yr old black man before sending me tweets and DMs. https://t.co/vzTF8JeMlZ
Despite living 14,000 km away, this Peter Dutton has clued on that something is going down in Australian politics.
He's not sure exactly what's up, but his notifications are telling him that a lot of people don't like Peter Dutton.
He gets a lot of mean messages meant for Peter Dutton MP.
Which is sad, because this Peter Dutton seems like a nice guy.
On the plus side, he's made a bunch of Australian friends online since he started tweeting about being confused for the other Peter Dutton.
I’ve now found a place to stay. Australians are my newest cousins. https://t.co/Dr8539SV0W
He's grateful for the Twitter users who have reached out to him.
And yes, he's ready to serve as prime minister if we need.
Pretty sure my last tweet has made me the leading candidate for PM of Australia. USA! It’s been real, mate. ✌🏾
