During a leaders' debate, Peter Dutton admitted to mistakenly asserting that Indonesia's president had discussed a Russia military proposal, leading to criticisms from Labor officials. He also highlighted the Labor Party's failure to commit to reducing electricity prices despite previous promises. Dutton's plan to cut the federal public service significantly by 2030 raised concerns about the affordability of Coalition policies, suggesting potential further government spending cuts. The debate further revealed contrasting views on international relations, particularly around Donald Trump, where Albanese expressed trust while Dutton distanced himself.
Dutton acknowledged he should not have claimed the Indonesian president had made an announcement about a Russian proposal to base Russian aerospace forces aircraft.
Dutton noted that Labor told voters before the last election that electricity prices would decline by $275 if an Albanese government was elected.
