dutton has more to lose by saying stupid things that really only require hush - ie to say anything is pointless really
to say what he says about deportations in this case (assuming he did say what he is supposed to have said) - there's no political milage in it
it would only sound good to wackadoodledoo world - and he's not going to lose them anyway. The more extreme wackadooledoos have already left and long gone to wacko jobs like ON and UAP - so, they aren't coming back either
about the only thing that dutto would affect with his stupidity is to merely confirm to Liberals who have deserted who have some functioning brain - that they did the right thing by leaving
Albanese may well also say stupid things - but, he's got a lot of capital and as long as the liberals keep flying their colours - Albanese is pretty much unassailable unless he starts murdering babies, bbqing them in the main street and eating them
that might get him replaced - otherwise, he's not going to lose
