When politicians resort to personal jabs and point-scoring, Australians stop listening | Intifar Chowdhury

The latest drama features Peter Dutton ’s lucrative property investment history and stock market decisions.

Labor has tried to discredit the opposition leader as out of touch with ordinary Australians .

Dutton has defended his investment decisions and said he “didn’t grow up with a silver spoon” In a time of economic hardship, this is especially unpalatable to voters.

Instead of serious policy discussions and solutions, politicians are turning to point scoring.
