Michael McCormack asked why Peter Dutton lied & said co-hosting COP2026 Summit will cost “Tens of Billions” when experts say cost is “at most $200mill”? Dalzell “Did Mr Dutton make an error here or did he misspeak?” McCormack says it doesn’t matter it’s still “a lot of money!”🙄

@JaneSus28831787 Like $30m for a $3m parcel of land. Where is Angus? He could sort this out!

'Misspeak' is a nonsense word used by American politicians, televangelists and media presenters to disguise the fact that the speaker has told a bare-faced fib. It's a pity our media are inheriting the word.

@ElianeMayer6 The inability to comprehend the vast difference between billions and millions doesn’t inspire confidence LNP never again #auspol #Election25

@ElianeMayer6 That explains his rationale on the leppington triangle purchase at 10 x the cost

Here’s what could get more expensive with Trump’s new tariffs.

McCormack should stick to Elvis impersonation. Or misogyny and homophobia. As editor of the Wagga Wagga Advertiser, in 1993, he advocated for the death penalty, opposed anti-gay hate laws and compared women’s soccer to an “egg and spoon” race.

Yeah, $2billion $200million, doesn’t matter. Same same. #LNPNeverAgain

Can we stop “mis-speaking” please? Call it for what it is - lying!

Does that mean it’s not really 40000 public servants he’s going to sack, i mean, it could well be 100,000 Dutton doesn't do figures real well #TemuTrump #DumpDutton

The empty headed LNP, including McCormack live & breed lying. A lot of money means I can’t give the precise amount but ‘Ten of Billions will do’. This is the central feature of how they make policy on the run.

What’s a few billions and billions here and there?
