Adam Bandt has suggested Peter Dutton 'is increasingly out of step' with 'modern' Australians and believes his party will remain in Opposition under his leadership - as the Greens leader opened up on his relationship with Anthony Albanese.
Greens leader Adam Bandt has suggested the Liberal Party will remain in Opposition"for a very, very long time" with Peter Dutton as its leader.
Mr Dutton pledged prior to being selected as the Coalition's new leader he would soften his image to show the public another side of him to get a"complete picture". Mr Bandt argued the Opposition Leader is a politician who is"increasingly out of step with where modern Australia is at" and insisted society wanted to see change.
The Greens leader then suggested Australia would"go backwards" if the former Queensland police officer one day became prime minister."People across the political spectrum want climate action. They want to see progress on a range of issues."He was also questioned about his relationship with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese amid the ongoing debate over the climate bill.
"We’re able to have clear lines of communication and good conversations – we don’t always agree - but that’s politics we’re in different parties," he said.
