Prime Minister Anthony Albanese ordered the post's removal, stating that families should be off-limits.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton has hit out at a Victorian Labor Party social media post mocking his marriage, prompting the Prime Minister to order its removal. Victoria’s Labor Party was initially accused on Monday by Liberal Senator James Paterson of deploying “smear” tactics after posting a personal attack against Mr Dutton and his wife on its Facebook page.
Opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson, a Liberal senator from Victoria, was first on Monday afternoon to hit out at the post as a low blow, urging the Prime Minister to tell the Labor party to remove the “grubby” meme. “Labor has given up solving the cost of living crisis. All they have is nasty personal smears against Peter Dutton and his family,” tweeted Mr Paterson.
