Peter Dutton's campaign was thrown into chaos earlier today when a group of anti-nuclear
00:08
protesters gatecrashed an event in the ultra-marginal seat of Gilmore.
00:14
The opposition leader was joined by Liberal candidate Andrew Constance.
00:18
They were there to make a $3.5 million pledge to build a pavilion at the local reserve in
00:25
Sanctuary Point. It is home to a local rugby club and a cricket club there. But the event was
00:31
interrupted by the protesters against nuclear power, where he was meant to also hold a press
00:38
conference after that announcement. Now, Mr Dutton was instead whisked away. The demonstrators
00:44
identified themselves to the media as being from the South Coast Labor Council. The opposition
00:50
leader eventually travelled to Mossvale in the Southern Highlands and held a press conference
00:56
there. He was asked about the disruption.
01:00
In relation to the kids who I think were disappointed to have their event disrupted. It would have
01:05
been nice to spend more time with them, but they were greens and teal supporters dressed
01:10
up and it was a stunt. So unfortunately the football coaches that we spoke to were really
01:16
annoyed actually and upset at the protest has made no difference to me.
01:21
So after having to change the plans, Peter Dutton made a stop here in Whitlam as he continues
01:27
his blitz in the final days of the campaign.
