Dutton

To act in a purely self serving manner despite all evidence that you will fail, especially if your actions will hurt those around you or damage a group you are in. A hubris driven brain bypass caused by unchecked ambition and/or desire resulting in collateral damage.

Named for the actions of Australian federal minister Peter Dutton who agitated to depose the Prime Minister during the week of 20-24 August 2018. In a week of humiliating political chaos he lost two leadership spills which only served to undermine the already low public opinion of politicians and further fracture his own political party.

"Wow, you really did a Dutton when you cheated on your wife with your boss's daughter"

"If you oppose these changes just to get yourself a pay rise you could Dutton the whole project!"
