The Australian's Strewth today - Ray Hadley delivers universal legal advice "Bugger the Law!"
Friday, 26 May 2017
Fascinating exchange between the very impressive Peter Dutton and his polar opposite Ray Hadley yesterday on 2GB.
Strewth: bugger the law

Unlike Scott Morrison, Peter Dutton still has the ear of Ray Hadley. Among the topics the ABC-loving Immigration Minister and 2GB broadcaster discussed yesterday was the problem of jihadists returning home from their training grounds. As tends to be the case when Hadley is involved, things took a turn for the even more interesting than expected.
Hadley: “I mean the left hand, the left-wing hand-wringers are saying: Oh, you know, you can’t do this, you can’t do that. I mean what, we bring them back here so they can blow us up?”
Dutton: “Well, we’ve got to act within the law. I mean that’s the first principle …”
Hadley: “Oh, bugger the law, Peter, bugger the law.”
Dutton: “Well …”
You’ll recall freshly minted ACTU secretary Sally McManus getting into a spot of strife in March when she observed, “I believe in the rule of law when the law is fair and the law is right. But when it’s unjust I don’t think there’s a problem with breaking it.” Who would have thought that barely two months later this radicalisation would have spread to 2GB?
