In the ongoing campaign, Peter Dutton struggles to define his role as a potential prime minister, trailing behind Anthony Albanese in the polls. During a recent ABC debate, Dutton avoided crucial questions about climate change, public service cuts, and international relations, admitting to a mistake regarding Russian military reports in Indonesia. With limited time to sway undecided voters, Dutton’s inability to present clear policies may hinder his chances as Albanese remains confident, further solidifying his lead in the election race.
