The Opposition leader has responded to a scathing character assessment by Treasurer Jim Chalmers after he said Peter Dutton should be 'disqualified' from leading the country.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton has deflected Treasurer Jim Chalmers' characterisation of him as "divisive" and "dangerous", stating it was a distraction from Labor's economic failures. During the annual John Curtin Oration on Monday night, Chalmers accused Dutton of starting culture wars and labelled him the most divisive leader in Australia's modern history.
" Chalmers' remarks follow two weeks of debate around Palestinian visas , with Dutton repeatedly calling for visas from Gaza not to be issued until security vetting processes could be guaranteed. Dutton said there was nothing to back up Chalmers' claim. "There's nothing he can point to. Apart from the fact that he wants to talk about anything but his failure in the economy.
