Peter Dutton has spent his political career standing with billionaires, big polluters, and vested interests — not everyday people.
Now he wants to be PM. His vision for Australia? Higher profits for corporations. Deeper cuts to health and services. No action on climate. And a country divided by fear.
Dutton’s Track Record:
Billionaires Win, People Lose
Climate, energy + nuclear
Voted against action on the climate crisis at every opportunity.
Backed coal and gas corporations over renewables and clean energy jobs.
Pushing expensive and dangerous nuclear power as a delay tactic — while blocking proven solutions like wind and solar.
His party raked in millions in fossil fuel donations while blocking action to bring down power bills or protect our environment.

Health + cost of living
As Health Minister, Dutton froze Medicare rebates, cut hospital funding, and made it harder for people to see a doctor.
Opposed cheaper childcare, rent caps, and energy price relief — siding with corporate profits over cost-of-living help for everyday people.

On billionaires + mining mates
Deep ties to billionaire donors, mining magnates, and the fossil fuel lobby. Claimed he’d be “the best friend mining ever had”.
Voted to protect tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy while opposing higher taxes on big corporations and polluters.
His policies consistently favour the few at the top, while working people pay the price.
