Dutton can say and do whatever he chooses, knowing he'll always be given cover

For a long time, opposition leader was the worst gig in Canberra. But with no policies and polls climbing, and with help from most commercial media outlets, Peter Dutton appears to have cracked the code.
The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the political dynamics surrounding Peter Dutton, the leader of the opposition in Australia. It highlights how Dutton has been able to operate with a degree of freedom in his political maneuvers, knowing that he will likely receive support or at least not face significant repercussions from his party or certain media outlets. The piece critiques the lack of accountability and the enabling environment provided by some media, which often frames his actions in a favorable light or provides him with cover when his tactics or policies are controversial. This situation is portrayed as part of a broader political strategy where opposition leaders can engage in aggressive or contentious politics without substantial pushback, thereby influencing public discourse and policy debate in a manner that might not reflect the broader consensus or public interest.
