‘Australia’s Trump’: The push for
Peter Dutton
to embrace Donald Trump’s campaign style
In the wake of Donald Trump’s mammoth victory,
there’s a push for Peter Dutton to model himself on the divisive American president.
Peter Dutton could model himself on Donald Trump in a bid to woo disenchanted voters, who are tipped to lurch to the right at the next election in search of action on the cost-of-living and housing crises, experts say.
Just days after the US election result, some in the opposition are already posturing to push their leader to take a leaf from the Republicans’ book.
The Weekend Australian reported that figures within the Liberal Party have approached Republican strategists for tips and advice as it prepares a battle plan for next year’s election.
And conservative billionaire Gina Rinehart, a close friend of Mr Dutton, has said she wants to see Australia “watch and learn” from Mr Trump and his “full throttle repudiation of all things left”.
“[Mr Trump] stood armed with conviction, huge courage, incredible untiring effort, and a real love of the USA and the American people,” Ms Rinehart told The Sydney Morning Herald at the weekend.
“I do hope Australia watches and learns as they see that cutting government tape, cutting taxes, and cutting government wastage lifts people up, and lifts living standards.”
