Is Anthony Albanese going to go to Dickson while he is in Brisbane? Albanese started his campaign in Dutton’s seat of Dickson as a bit of rabble rousing and given it it a marginal seat, there are those who think Dutton could lose it (unlikely given the seat’s history. It has always been marginal – so much so that Dutton at one stage tried to unseat Karen Andrews for McPherson, which was a much safer bet (he lost) but when the Coalition is on an upward swing Dickson increases his margin and when its on the nose, the margin gets smaller – but he has held it since 2001.)

Albanese says:

Labor can certainly win what is the most marginal seat in Queensland…we get the sense that we had in the 2022 election, Ali Francis [could] be elected, the member Dickson.

Peter Dutton has gone away from his electorate, not to it, Ali France is committed to the electorate and what’s more Peter Dutton is now saying he wants a nuclear reactor and that electorate as well.

I think Peter Dutton’s key point in this election campaign where he showed a level of arrogance extraordinary very early on when he in an interview said he wanted to live in Kirribilli House. A Queensland Prime Minister who wanted to not live in the national capital but preferred Sydney, to living in the Prime Minister ‘s residence in The Lodge. I think that will go down very badly in his electorate. And will continue to campaign, we are campaigning very hard in Dickson.
