Peter Dutton’s plan to move to Sydney instead of Canberra if elected ‘arrogant’, Labor says

Peter Dutton has said he would ‘take Sydney any day over living in Canberra’, riling up politicians including Labor’s Katy Gallagher who are already angered by the Coalition’s plan to cut 41,000 public service jobs. Composite: AAP

Labor frontbencher Katy Gallagher has accused Peter Dutton of “arrogantly measuring the curtains at Kirribilli House” and disrespecting the national capital.

Peter Dutton has confirmed he and his family would move into Sydney’s Kirribilli House – a harbourside mansion overlooking the Opera House – rather than the Lodge in Canberra if elected on 3 May.
