Well, we've all just pulled up in the Hunter, which is mining town, and it is really Labor
00:08
heartland, but it is certainly an area that Peter Dutton has his eye on. There are a couple
00:12
of seats here that he is particularly keen on. We're currently in the seat of Paterson,
00:17
and that is a seat that's held by Meryl Swanson, and the Liberal Party are running Lawrence
00:23
and Cliff, so quite a prominent local candidate. Peter Dutton is on his way here. We've just
00:29
pulled up to a mining equipment company called Cougar. We understand the Opposition will
00:33
be talking about their energy plans today, about the fuel excise, the policies that they
00:38
say will bring down the cost of energy and help businesses like this one.
00:43
And Isabel, the Opposition has also commented on these latest opinion polls.
00:48
Yeah, and we haven't heard from Peter Dutton yet this morning. We are expecting to very
00:53
shortly, but we have heard from James Paterson, who is of course the spokesperson for the
00:58
Dutton campaign. As usual, when these sorts of polls come out, neither party likes to
01:03
place too much weight on them, but it does represent a trend towards Labor and towards
01:08
the Prime Minister, and we heard from Senator Paterson on this earlier.
01:11
No, I'm not concerned. What these polls show is that the election is close. That will be
01:16
decided in the campaign. We've got a very positive message about how we'll get our country
01:21
back on track, how we'll improve Australia's financial circumstances, how we'll make our
01:25
communities safe, and Peter Dutton is a strong leader who can deliver on that.
01:29
James Paterson there. So, as I say, we're just waiting for Peter Dutton to show up here
01:34
and put on the high-vis. I think I'm already wearing it, and we'll hear from him shortly.
