Sydney, May 2 (EFE) .- Peter Dutton, an plunder with a reputable reputable, wants to return to power to the conservative coalition in the May 3 elections in Australia, with promises that evoke the US president, Donald Trump.

These similarities with Trump’s speech seemed to add popularity to the Australian, but everything changed since the American unleashed a commercial war by imposing tariffs on several countries, including his great ally Australia.

Nicknamed by his detractors “Temu Trump” -what is interpreted as a ‘copy’ or ‘cheap version’ of the American, being a Temu a Chinese electronic commerce platform known for its affordable products -, Dutton proposes a cutting program in elections marked by the high cost of life and the real estate crisis.
The leader of the liberal-national coalition advocates reducing immigration by 25 %, which links with the real estate crisis, eliminating 41,000 jobs from the public administration and reducing taxes on fuels during the next twelve months.
Dutton reached one of his sydney campaign acts in the cabin of a tank truck that had written the commitment to “reduce 25 cents the liter” of fuel.
The politician defends that his plan contributes more to boost the economy – which grew 1.3 % in 2024 – than fiscal sales and other aid presented by Albanese.

But, following an accident during the persecution of a suspect who left several injuries, Dutton resigned from the body and subsequently led a construction company with his father.
Part of the liberal youth since the age of 18, the candidate for prime minister entered at the age of 30 in the House of Representatives – in the 2001 elections – by winning the seat in Dickson, northern Brisbane, who has been retaining since then.
On August 21, 2018, Dutton tried to take the country’s reins during a revolt within the liberals against Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, but the alternative that headed failed in the internal vote.
Only three days later, after Turbull’s resignation, Dutton lost again in his commitment to lead the liberals against Scott Morrison, who in 2022 gave power at the polls to Albanese. EFE
