Peter Dutton gave an extended press conference after he was elected to lead the Liberal Party in opposition on Monday. Here are extracts from what he said on key topics including the independents, Indigenous Australians, big business and his background.I made a mistake in relation to the apology, and largely that was because of my own background and experience.
There are little boys and girls in parts of our country in 2022, in this year, that slept in a shipping container last night to get through the hours of darkness in Indigenous communities, and it’s completely unacceptable.Now, I think we have all been on a unity ticket to do as much as we can to improve the condition in local communities, the advancement of Aboriginal people in our country, but we have all failed.
So, I want there to be practical solutions, and I want to work with the government to deliver chose. But I want them to work hand-in-glove. Going to a meeting here in Canberra and giving 10 acknowledgments to country, that’s fine, and I don’t say that in a disparaging way. To win the next election, I am not going to abandon any seats. All I want to do is to make sure that we don’t forget about those in the suburbs, and I do think they are the forgotten people.
