About this episode
Since becoming opposition leader, Peter Dutton has clawed back in the polls by relentlessly attacking the Labor government – now that approach is being tested.
During the first major political battle of the year, over the stage three tax cuts, Peter Dutton’s instincts to fiercely attack the government didn’t seem to work as planned and resulted in the Coalition facing unwanted scrutiny when they eventually backed the changes.
So, what is Peter Dutton’s strategy? Can he marry his instincts for a political fight with electability as a potential prime minister?
Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper Karen Middleton, on how Peter Dutton plans to win the next election.
