On the third day of the election campaign, Peter Dutton made a visit to Western Sydney, a region expected to play a pivotal role in the upcoming vote. During his attendance at an Assyrian New Year celebration, Dutton encountered senior Labor minister Chris Bowen. Their interactions have been marked by ongoing disputes over the past three years, especially surrounding the Coalition’s initiative to adopt nuclear energy. As the energy minister, Bowen has notably opposed the move towards nuclear power, demonstrating a significant divide in their positions on energy policy.
