‘Pathologically negative’: Chalmers slams Dutton during Fadden by-election

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has slammed Opposition leader Peter Dutton at a press conference in Fadden during the by-election. “I say this to the people of the northern Gold Coast with respect … don’t reward the pathological negativity that we see on a daily basis from Peter Dutton,” he said. “Peter Dutton is pathologically negative, he is almost permanently angry, and he is frequently unhinged.”
