Today, television personality Karl Stefanovic forecasts a bleak political future for Peter Dutton at the Liberal election gathering.
Today Show Host Karl Stefanovic Predicts Tough Future for Peter Dutton
Karl Stefanovic, 50, hasn't held back on his opinions about Peter Dutton's, 54, political future in the Liberal party, amid the ongoing federal election. Speaking from Brisbane's inner-city, Stefanovic warns that Dutton's entire career could be on the line if he fails to secure an upset victory.
"It's a massive mountain for him to climb," Stefanovic declared. "But it looks like he'll need a miracle of 2019 magnitude to pull it off."
Stefanovic's comments come as Labor has shown an early lead in Tasmania, potentially spelling trouble for the Coalition. The Today host added that if things don't go Dutton's way, it might not just be the leadership of the country at stake, but possibly the leadership of the Coalition as well.
The harsh reality of the situation is not lost on Stefanovic. If Anthony Albanese wins, he will be the first Prime Minister to secure a second term since John Howard in 2004. Conversely, if Dutton is handed the top job, it would mark the first time a first-term government has been ousted since 1931.
Stefanovic's critiques of Dutton's campaign don't end there. He's also been vocal about what he sees as reckless spending by both Dutton and Albanese during the election. This concern over economic management could further erode Dutton's political capital and cloud his future prospects in the party.
While Stefanovic's prediction may seem gloomy, it doesn't necessarily spell the end for Dutton. There's still a long way to go, and the early voting trends in Tasmania will need to be based on more than just a small fraction of the total votes. But one thing's for sure—Stefanovic isn't holding back when it comes to his assessment of Dutton's political future.
