Next Federal Election
I wonder if the general public (if there is such a thing) cares.
As widely reported, Peter Dutton has/had? an extensive property portfolio.
I remember he had a fancy beachside investment place at Palm Beach on the Gold Coast.
“ Federal Defence Minister Peter Dutton sold his holding at no 109 for $6 million, pocketing a tidy profit on the $2.325 million he paid in 2014.”
I’m not sure that Albo and his wife achieving the aussie dream will hurt him at election time. Others things might, but not that so much I reckon.
Of course, a lot of federal pollies are hopelessly compromised when considering policies to reduce house prices.
This list shows Dutton as only owning one home, which is kind of depressing if true.

Well, I personally don't begrudge him his recent purchase, but given the current housing crisis I can see how it might ruffle a few feathers.
It's bad optics whatever way you slice it.
I wouldn't fret about it though; it'll blow over shortly.
Agreed TS.
Doesn't bother me because his personal life is none of my business.
Same as anyones.

Family trust for old Dutto.
Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.
This is how Dutton wins:
