Peter Dutton alienated voters with ‘arrogant and aggressive’ approach, Labor election review finds

A Labor party review of the recent Australian federal election found that Peter Dutton's "negative, arrogant and aggressive" approach alienated voters. The review, released on Friday, suggests Dutton's leadership style, reminiscent of Tony Abbott, and poorly explained policies hindered the Coalition's chances. In contrast, Anthony Albanese's positive messaging and policies focused on improving voters' lives resonated with the electorate, contributing to Labor's landslide victory. The review also cited the Coalition's policy backflips and lack of message discipline as factors in their defeat. The findings were released as Sussan Ley, the opposition leader, faced a leadership challenge.
