Dutton adopts Trump's strategy to connect with Australian voters on cost-of-living issues

Peter Dutton is adopting Donald Trump's "are you better off" question as a strategy in Australia, aiming to connect with working-class voters frustrated by rising costs. This approach mirrors Trump's successful tactics in the U.S. elections. While inflation has decreased in Australia, prices remain high, leaving many feeling financially strained. Dutton hopes to capitalize on this sentiment, suggesting that the government is not addressing voters' primary concerns. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is countering with new measures, including student debt relief, to address cost-of-living issues. The political landscape is shifting, with U.S. campaign strategies influencing the upcoming Australian election.
