It's been less than a month, and already President Trump is turning the rule of law on its head. Mr Trump, of course, is ruling by ignoring laws internationally and domestically. Of course, his plan for taking over Gaza is illegal, let alone immoral. His sacking of thousands of USAID staff is illegal. Granting Elon Musk access to the financial data of millions of Americans is illegal. It breaches the Privacy Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and many more. The sacking of millions of workers without rights is illegal. He's even gone so far as to try and blackmail Ukraine, getting them to do what he wants in exchange for US support against Russia.

Then, of course, he's turning his attention to letting his mates off the hook—his criminal mates, let's not forget. He's attacked the ICC officials for daring to hold war criminals to account and he's letting Russian oligarchs off the hook by scrapping the very taskforce that is meant to seize their assets. What does big strongman Peter Dutton say about all this?

What does strongman Mr Dutton say about all this? 'Oh! He's a big thinker.' Mr Dutton, who touts himself as strong on law and order, is siding with the felon. The man who wants Australians to believe that he is the enforcer of the law is siding with the felon—all beat, no cop. (Time expired)
