Tensions run high as Peter Dutton closes out penultimate week of election campaigning

Peter Dutton has just seven days left to convince voters of his suitability for prime minister, concluding week four of the election campaign amidst challenges. The week was marked by the leaders’ third debate, where Dutton was deemed the winner, despite a backdrop of accusations of dishonesty and personal attacks between him and Anthony Albanese. Dutton faced scrutiny over the Coalition’s $21 billion defense plan, funding sources, and controversial statements from party members, all while pledging support for domestic violence initiatives.
