From www.abc.net.au: Peter Dutton is losing his earlier strategic advantage as his popularity rises, leading to increased scrutiny of his actions and decisions.

He recently faced criticism for prioritizing a Liberal Party fundraiser in Sydney over responding to a cyclone threatening Brisbane, raising questions about his alignment with constituents’ needs.

Despite his successful management of low expectations and efforts to connect with working-class voters, Dutton’s recent errors may jeopardise his newfound electoral viability as the election approaches.
