PM ‘splashing out’ on clifftop home may signal he is ‘contemplating retirement’

Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is “splashing out” on a new home because he is “contemplating retirement”. This comes as Labor MPs have called for negative gearing changes following Mr Albanese’s $4.3 million property purchase. “I think this is a transparent attempt by Labor MPs to distract from what they themselves are calling, the Prime Minister’s Hawaii moment,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia. “Really the only reason for the Prime Minister to be splashing out like this on a $4.3 million clifftop home is because he is contemplating his retirement, and sooner rather than later.”
