Australians ‘really embracing the realism’ Peter Dutton brings to debate

Agenda C Managing Director Parnell Palme McGuiness says the Australian electorate is “really embracing the realism” Opposition leader Peter Dutton is bringing to the debate. According to the Resolve Strategic poll, Peter Dutton is leading Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on preferred prime minister 36 per cent to 35 per cent. “This is, to my mind, the electorate really embracing the realism that Dutton is bringing to debates,” Ms McGuiness told Sky News Australia. “Albanese won’t like to see this at all. “I don’t think it’s going to make any difference in the party room at this stage, but, of course, the Liberal Party will be very pleased to see this. “It shows that the strategy of talking about the cost of living, talking about how energy plays into the cost of living, and keeping a focus on the things that are really hurting households and how we can address them in a realistic way could turn into a winning strategy for the Liberals.”
