Dutton looks to ‘quiet Australians’
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is relying on “quiet Australians” to get him over the line as a former political insider says protest votes could offer him a path to The Lodge. The Opposition is seeking to defy a campaign-trail poll slump that has delivered Labor a significant lead, although the Coalition maintains its internal numbers are more optimistic than the public ones. Dutton will hit more than two dozen seats in the final week of campaigning ahead of Saturday’s poll. He said internal polling was positive and that gave him great confidence for the election result.
