Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has hit out at the Liberal Party during Question Time on Thursday, criticising Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s question. “It is negative, it's angry, it's hostile, it seeks to divide – it never seeks to bring people together,” Mr Albanese said. “What we have opposite, just like we have with the Housing Australia Future Fund legislation earlier, is just an obsession with voting no to everything,” he said. The Prime Minister's comments come after the Coalition objected to the Labor government's housing fund while the Greens Party have shown their support for it. “An obsession with just being negative, including an obsession with being negative about the referendum, that Australians will get to vote on,” he said.
