Chris Minns took a cheeky swipe at Mr Dutton when he was asked to weigh in on the federal Opposition Leader's absence on the NSW Liberal election campaign.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Mr Minns took a cheeky swipe at Mr Dutton when he was asked to weigh in on the federal Opposition Leader's absence in the lead up to the election.
Mr Dutton has not made a media appearance in Sydney since November when he appeared alongside independent Fairfield Mayor Frank Carbone while visiting the city to attend the funeral of Cardinal George Pell. Mr Dutton's lack of presence stands in startling contrast to the Prime Minister, who has made several appearances alongside the NSW Opposition Leader in recent weeks.
The Opposition Leader, however, did make a quiet appearance via video address at the campaign launch for NSW Treasurer Matt Keen in Hornsby last week. NSW voters head to the polls on March 25 to decide whether to extend the Coalition's term in power to a record 16 years, or hand the keys to Macquarie Street back to Labor.
