First, the Prime Minister rips into Peter Dutton’s weakness on climate change in last night’s ABC debate.

If there’s one thing that stunned me about last night, it was Peter Dutton being asked not a very difficult question about whether he agreed with the science on climate change. Effectively, he said he’s not a scientist and couldn’t say … the science is very clear on climate change. The fact that in 2025 you have someone running for Prime Minister who can’t say that the science is clear that climate change is real and it is happening.

Next up, Jim Chalmers, rips into Mr Dutton’s comments to a Murdoch newspaper supporting the indexation of income tax brackets.

I see Peter Dutton had expressed some views this morning in The Australian newspaper about income taxes. Peter Dutton must think Australians are stupid. I mean, he is the only major political party leader that has taken to an election a policy to legislate higher income taxes on every single Australian taxpayer. I mean, this stuff is laughable. He has a policy to return less bracket creep, not to return more bracket creep. And so to see these views expressed on the front of one of the newspapers today is frankly ridiculous. If Peter Dutton wins this election, your income taxes will be higher, not lower. A vote for Peter Dutton is a vote for lower wages, higher taxes and secret cuts to pay for his nuclear reactors.
