Aussie street artist unveils outrageous X-rated Dutton mural
Australian graffiti artist Scott Marsh has unveiled a controversial mural taking aim at Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.
The artwork, slapped on a wall in Darlinghurst, Sydney depicts Dutton as a sex toy — he used the politician's surname as a play on words, captioning the piece 'The Dutt Plug'.
Expanding on the work, Mr Marsh wrote, 'Bend over backwards... just like your campaign promises.
'Tired of scandals that don't come with personal satisfaction?
'Worn out from all the flip-flopping without any real stimulation?'Then meet your new favorite backdoor deal: The Dutt Plug.

'✔️ Engineered from morally flexible and ethically adventurous materials, this plug is made from 100% recycled campaign tropes and the shredded hopes of your constituents.'✔️ It's sleek, slippery, and spins 180 degrees—just like your campaign policies. Comes pre-lubed with corporate influence.'✔️ The Dutt Plug guarantees that the only thing getting screwed… is you.'
Mr Marsh's mural, thrown up just days before Australians head to the polls, received a mixed response online — some folks were humoured while others were appalled.
Activist and 2021 Australian of the Year Grace Tame praised the piece, commenting 'Genius 🥚🔥,' under the post.
Another user joked, 'Does this clarify for the Archie-bald prize 😍😂 🤣💥✌🏽.'
One person implored Mr Marsh to have a crack at Anthony Albanese, for 'balance', even suggesting the adult toy he could illustrate.
'Awesome, but I want to see some balance with 'Anthony Analbeadse' too.'
On Tuesday, Dutton faced questions from voters during an appearance on Sky News.
The Liberal leader addressed topics including domestic violence, debt, mental health, pensions, small business, rural Australia and the treatment of veterans.
According to a fresh survey from YouGov, polling suggests climate change is now a dominant concern for Gen Z and Millenial voters.
About 79 per cent of Millennial and Gen Z voters listed climate change as an important factor in determining their vote.
Labor has proposed renewable energy backed by batteries to bring down emissions, while the Coalition has proposed nuclear energy, a zero emissions technology, to provide Australia's baseload power needs.

LA protestors pushing ‘left-wing causes' as Palestinian flags seen among crowds
Outgoing Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes discusses the left's push for liberal causes at the LA protests after Palestinian flags were seen among the crowds. 'He's doing what he said he was going to do, and as I say, it's the protestors now, just pick any cause,' Ms Hughes said. 'You will find, when you look through some of that footage, there's Palestinian flags and all sorts of other things going on in the bid to just continue to push left-wing causes.'

Environmentalists say our green goals don't protect nature or work for business. Here's how Labor plans to fix the problem
A long list of unfulfilled environmental promises presents a challenge to the Albanese government in its second term, after it recently approved a major gas project and halted reform progress in the past three years as it tries to balance protecting nature with creating jobs. In his first decision as environment minister, Murray Watt gave provisional approval to Woodside to extend its North West Shelf gas project until 2070, overruling warnings from climate activists and traditional owners that it could damage rock art and produce vast greenhouse gas emissions. Watt's initial act in the Albanese government's second term, following its May re-election, followed a rocky environmental record for Labor in its first term. It failed to deliver on an election pledge to create a federal environment watchdog by 2025 and made limited progress on its open-ended promises to reform federal environment laws and enhance Indigenous heritage protections. The government's former environment minister Tanya Plibersek made three other ambitious pledges in 2022. She promised there would be 'no new extinctions' of Australia's native wildlife and to reform Indigenous cultural heritage laws following Rio Tinto's legal 2020 destruction of the globally significant Juukan Gorge, which contained 46,000 years of cultural heritage, to expand one of its mines. Loading Plibersek also pledged to conserve 30 per cent of Australian land and 30 per cent of its seas by 2030 – known as the '30 by 30″ commitment – barring all extractive industry such as fishing or mining in line with the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. Australian Conservation Foundation policy officer Brendan Sydes said the government needed to deliver on it promises to protect thousands of native plants and animals at heightened risk of extinction. 'There's an urgent need to fix our national environmental laws. They're not working, they don't protect nature, and they don't work for business either,' Sydes said. 'We're now up to well over 2000 species listed as threatened under Commonwealth environmental laws and the numbers are only going up. They are being listed because they're at imminent risk of extinction.
