He could run again at the next election but is not doing so , so it looks like he's retired from politics.

Yes a shame really, he was a well credentialed politician, most unusual and now lost.He could run again at the next election but is not doing so , so it looks like he's retired from politics.
He basically sacked all the clown world DEI staff and there policiesFurther:
You're right. We've come a long way since "Ditch the Witch"
Intelligence agencies 'must explain' delay in briefing PM on mass attack plot: Libs
Peter Dutton, when asked whether he had evidence to suggest his claim that intelligence agencies feared Anthony Albanese or his office could “leak information”, the Opposition Leader said he would not comment on “discussions I’ve had with individuals out of agencies”.
Mr Dutton said there was “nothing else that adds up” as to why the Prime Minister would not have been briefed for over a week, as Mr Dutton has previously alleged.
“Do you actually have any evidence that the agencies were worried about leaks? Is that just something you are suggesting?” Mr Dutton was asked.
“I’m not going to comment on discussions I’ve had with individuals out of agencies and people can draw their own conclusions based on their own experiences, but there’s nothing else that adds up as to why the Prime Minister would be kept in the dark for nine days when the authorities saw fit to brief the Premier,” he said.
“And he was open and honest about the fact he had been briefed on 20 January.”
Mr Dutton said he did not think there had been a “breakdown in the process” when asked whether law enforcement and intelligence agencies were responsible for briefing the PM on the apparent anti-Semitic caravan explosives plot.
The Opposition Leader said it was not their responsibility to answer why – as he alleges – the Prime Minister was not briefed, but rather Mr Albanese’s responsibility.
“How can we conceive of a position where the Prime Minister of our country is not aware of a planned mass terrorist attack that could have resulted in a 40-metre blast zone and hundreds of people losing their lives?” Mr Dutton asked.
“I think they’re reasonable questions, not politically based.
“This is a matter of national security and it can’t be repeated and I’m not aware of any precedent for it before.”
When asked whether he thought the buck stopped with the Australian Federal Police or the Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation, Mr Dutton said the “Prime Minister has the questions to answer here”.
“I don’t think there’s any breakdown in the process,” he said.
“The New South Wales Police have either made a deliberate decision not to advise the commonwealth so that the Prime Minister wasn’t advised because they were worried he was going to leak the information.
“Beyond that, there’s no other reasonable explanation.”
I see the LNP fan boys are winding up early.“How can we conceive of a position where the Prime Minister of our country is not aware of a planned mass terrorist attack that could have resulted in a 40-metre blast zone and hundreds of people losing their lives?” Mr Dutton asked.
Being surprised? seriously?I would never have thought Labor would actually come out and say this, it shows how times have changed.
I tend to think the large companies will be waiting and watching how the energy transition goes, extended blackouts don't work well for large businesses like shopping centres, entertainment venues and large processing plants.
Interesting times, it doesn't sound as though public owned ventures are high on the agenda.
"We know that the best kind of strong and sustainable economic growth means growth led by the private sector," Mr Chalmers told a closed function at parliament in Canberra on Wednesday, hosted by the Business Council of Australia.
"Our economy is at its best when it's private companies powering growth and propelling us forward."
The treasurer's remarks continue his corporate charm offensive, even as the government ridiculed Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's proposed tax deduction for small business lunches as "taxpayer-funded barramundi for bosses".
Both underscore a major difference between the two sides under Anthony Albanese and Mr Dutton: Labor likes to position itself as an ally of big business, while the opposition leader prefers to back grassroots small and medium-sized ventures.
Well, the government can't do everything, but they have to realise that the private sector can't either and there have been market failures that haven't properly been addressed, like in energy and housing.I would never have thought Labor would actually come out and say this, it shows how times have changed.

Yes, it's not for Dutton parrots.
It's the energy sector that is worrying the private sector and the Government isn't doing a lot about it.Well, the government can't do everything, but they have to realise that the private sector can't either and there have been market failures that haven't properly been addressed, like in energy and housing.
All the parties have essentially reversed position compared to that of a generation ago.I would never have thought Labor would actually come out and say this, it shows how times have changed.
Meanwhile the primary vote of the major parties continues to fall.All the parties have essentially reversed position compared to that of a generation ago.
Labor wants business.
The Greens want heavy industry.
Liberal proposes a minimal growth economy as per its energy plan.
The Left in general argues that genders and races aren't of equal ability hence a need for handicaps.
The Right advocates equal opportunity.
All the exact opposite of their historic positions.
