SYDNEY: The Australian Broadcasting Corporation said on Saturday it was projecting opposition leader Peter Dutton is set to lose his seat in a nationwide federal election.
Dutton held the seat of Dickson in the northern state of Queensland with a margin of 1.7% at the last federal election in 2022.
The ABC has already forecasted Dutton’s opposition coalition has lost the election to the incumbent centre-left Labor Party.
Liberal Party leader Dutton, a former policeman with a reputation for being tough on crime and immigration, has been dogged by his perceived ideological closeness to U.S. President Donald Trump throughout the campaign.
