Election campaign live: Dutton claims Labor has ‘secret plan’ to resurrect Voice
Peter Dutton says Penny Wong “let the cat out of the bag” amid a fierce backlash to her comments on the Voice while Treasurer Jim Chalmers says lower inflation will pave the way for up to five rate cuts this year. LIVE UPDATES
Peter Dutton has claimed Labor has a “secret plan” to resurrect the Voice to Parliament, amid uproar over Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong’s comments likening it to the fight for marriage equality.
But Anthony Albanese said the government was working towards “practical reconciliation” after the Voice referendum was lost – as he advised journalists not to “verbal” Penny Wong.
The PM has used a speech at the National Press Club to goad Mr Dutton, claiming he had spent “so much time telling everyone how tough (he) is” but wouldn’t face the scrutiny of journalists in the final days of the campaign.
