Labor’s ‘Weaponisation’ of Peter Dutton

Character and reputation has never been as important in the political climate as it is now, and our federal election is no exception. One can recall the explosive ousting of Malcolm Turnbull last August when his party voted to usurp him as Prime Minister. Peter Dutton has since been the poster boy for the leadership spill and Labor is using this to their advantage this election, doing everything they can to remind voters about the man who orchestrated the leadership spill. We were joined by Political Scientist Dr Nick Economou to discuss the potential implications of Labor’s ‘weaponising’ of Dutton going forward.
