  • The weight of expectation is shifting behind the opposition leader. Which can be a curse. Another poll, same story: the government has been spinning its wheels for more than year now and continues to do so.

The article from the Australian Financial Review discusses how Peter Dutton, the leader of the opposition Liberal Party, risks losing his underdog status as the political landscape shifts.

The piece suggests that as the government's popularity wanes, Dutton needs to present a clear, positive vision for the future to capitalize on the opportunity. It also notes the internal pressures within the Liberal Party for Dutton to adopt a more aggressive and proactive stance, especially as the next election approaches, where being the underdog might not be as advantageous if the public perceives the opposition as lacking direction or policy substance.
