About this episode
Peter Dutton has an uphill battle, even he would admit that.
But the Liberal leader known for tough, hardline conservative talking points is trying to appear more like Australia’s next prime minister – by insisting he has a softer side, and striking a contrast with his predecessor Scott Morrison.
Beneath Dutton’s attempts to rebrand himself, who is he… and where did his ideas come from?
Today, contributor to The Monthly Malcolm Knox on who Peter Dutton is, and what he’s prepared to do to become prime minister.
