Govt response to Dutton Woolworths boycott call was 'as hilarious as it was predictable'

The government's response to Peter Dutton’s call to boycott Woolworths was "as hilarious as it was predictable", says Sky News host James Macpherson. The Opposition Leader called for Australians to boycott Woolworths after the supermarket decided not to sell Australia Day merchandise. Mr Macpherson said Agriculture Minister Murray Watt’s response was to dismiss Mr Dutton's comments as “silly culture war games” while claiming the government was focused on inflation. “Next, they'll tell us the arsonist is focused on the war on fire,” Mr Macpherson said. “This government has done zero about inflation, leaving all the heavy lifting to the Reserve Bank of Australia and then demonising its former boss, Philip Lowe, for increasing rates.”
