Demonising Dutton will backfire for Labor, just as it did for Harris with Trump

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the potential political misstep by the Labor Party in Australia, drawing parallels with the 2016 U.S. election where Hillary Clinton's campaign demonized Donald Trump, which ultimately backfired. It suggests that the current strategy of the Labor Party to negatively portray Peter Dutton, the opposition leader, could similarly misfire. The piece argues that while Dutton is often portrayed as divisive and lacking in charisma, his strong stance on issues like immigration and national security resonates with a significant portion of the electorate. The author, Nick Bryant, warns that by focusing on Dutton's negatives, Labor might inadvertently boost his appeal among voters who feel alienated by the political elite, much like Trump's supporters. This approach could lead to an underestimation of Dutton's potential to connect with voters on key issues, potentially leading to an unexpected electoral outcome.
