How Dutton can deliver a miracle election victory
If you had to offer one word for Anthony Albanese, it would be weak. Weak on confronting anti-Semitism, weak on standing up to China and weak on taking responsibility for anything. He has become the nation’s spectator in chief – and Peter Dutton needs to take advantage with controlled aggression.
