Opposition Leader Peter Dutton claims to have an 'easy relationship' with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese despite recent heated political attacks. Dutton emphasizes their ability to put aside differences and discuss important national issues, highlighting occasions where they've met in the Prime Minister's office. This comes amidst a fierce pre-election battle marked by personal criticisms from both sides, with Dutton labeling Albanese 'one of our country's weakest ever prime ministers' and Albanese describing Dutton as 'cold-hearted, mean-spirited, sometimes just plain nasty'. Despite the rhetoric, both leaders have collaborated on bipartisan issues like national security and aged care.
