Dutton also avoids questions about action against his candidate in Fowler for the second day in a row:

Q: I asked you yesterday whether keeping a candidate who would blame someone’s mother for their daughter experiencing domestic violence squares with your plan to tackle the issue. I want to check again while we’re at a charity if you still think an apology is enough for someone to stay on as a candidate. When the Liberals are not likely to win Fowler, why not dump that candidate?

Dutton:

I’ve made it clear that I don’t endorse or accept the comments.

Q: You do endorse the candidate. He’s apologised for it. Would you call the Prime Minister weak if he did the same thing?

Dutton:

There’s a question at the back.
