About this episode
In Queensland, one issue is already dominating the upcoming state election: youth crime.
So when the Liberal National Party launched their campaign, Peter Dutton was the perfect man to help sell their pitch.
The federal opposition leader and former Queensland cop has been stressing his closeness to his home state.
Already Peter Dutton has promised to crack down on crime, slow immigration, break up supermarket monopolies, and shift the green energy focus to nuclear.
So will the Queensland election be a testing ground for Dutton’s federal agenda?
Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper Jason Koutsoukis on how Peter Dutton is marketing himself, and whether Australia is ready to look more like Queensland.
