  • Shifting and dodging is working for Peter Dutton, even if it foreshadows a Bizarro World election and a dog's breakfast of policies should the Coalition win.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the current state of Australian politics, focusing on the leadership styles of Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. It critiques Dutton's approach as overly negative and confrontational, suggesting that his strategy of going "low" with personal attacks and divisive tactics might not resonate well with the public. Conversely, Albanese is portrayed as somewhat passive or ineffective in countering this negativity, leading to a political landscape where neither leader seems capable of inspiring or leading with vision. The piece argues that this dynamic has resulted in a cycle of short-term prime ministers, with the public feeling trapped in an era where leaders are quickly discarded after failing to meet expectations. The article calls for a shift towards more constructive and visionary leadership to break this cycle.
