• Blow-by-blow: How Dutton’s footy blunder unfolded

Peter Dutton has accidentally kicked a football into the head of a cameraman after he criticised Anthony Albanese’s ‘trainwreck’ interview on a controversial port.

The incident occurred while he was practising kicks with AFL stars in Darwin where he said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s attempt to swoop in on the Coalition’s campaign plan to take back the Port of Darwin was a “trainwreck” and he should’ve been better prepared.

Mr Dutton is in the Top End to explain how he will get the Port of Darwin back from China into Australian hands.

Mr Albanese, who is in Queensland, has also spoken with UK PM Sir Keir Starmer in the aftermath of the Trump administrations sweeping tariffs, with both leaders warning against a global trade war in retaliation.
