A new poll has predicted Peter Dutton could be at risk of losing his own seat of Dickson in Brisbane’s north west.

The survey, published by news.com.au and carried out by UComms by the Queensland Conservation Council, showed Labor’s Ali France ahead of Mr Dutton 52-48 on a two-party preferred basis.

Mr Dutton holds the seat by a wafer-thin margin of just 1.7 per cent. In 2022, he beat Ms France by just 3,363 votes.

Almost half of all respondents said they were less likely to vote for the Opposition Leader because of his controversial nuclear policy.

‘Peter Dutton’s plan to put toxic, expensive nuclear reactors in Australian communities has well and truly backfired, and may end up costing him his seat,’’ Queensland Conservation Council director Dave Copeman told the website.

A 2019 ABC investigation revealed that uComms was co-owned by the CFMEU and ACTU.

The PM was asked at a press conference in Darwin if he felt ‘anxious’ about his personal safety in light of the allged terror plot against Peter Dutton.

Mr Albanese (pictured, below) said he had reached out to Mr Dutton on Friday morning, noting that ‘a number of threats that have been made to Parliamentarians has increased in recent times’.

But then he seemed to hint that he himself had been the target of some kind of criminal plot.

‘I myself have been the subject of a range of issues, at least one of which is before legal processes at the moment,’ he told reporters in Darwin.

‘There was a pretty serious incident.’

The PM did not shed any more light on what this ‘serious incident’ was – and was not asked any follow-up questions.

He said he had ‘confidence’ in the Australian Federal Police to ‘keep us safe’.

‘We do live in times that unfortunately we have seen around the world as well, but here as well, these threats be made,’ he added.

‘They shouldn't be - there's no place whatsoever in politics for any of this, and I have ensured that any time any member of Parliament, regardless of who they are, have asked for support, they have received it.’

The PM's office declined to comment.

Peter Dutton has claimed the PM is ‘obsessed’ with him because he has no successes to spruik from his three years in government.

‘Had the success been up in lights... the prime minister, instead of being obsessed with me, would be talking about his record of success,’ Mr Dutton told an event in Perth on Friday morning.

‘He would be talking about ways in which he helped families not hurt them. I don’t need to attack the character of the prime minister to win the next election.

‘People can draw their own conclusions on his characteristics. What I want to offer the Australian people is a much more positive future, and that’s what I wanted to talk about.’

Keen observers might think this smacks a little of hypocrisy, given Mr Dutton’s constant descriptions of the PM as ‘weak and incompetent’.

A quick search of Mr Dutton’s speech and interview transcripts reveal he’s used those exact words to describe Mr Albanese on at least seven separate occasions this year.

Labor's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard came into effect on January 1, this year, with the goal of reducing average new car emissions by 59 per cent over four years.

But Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has vowed to scrap the plan - saving buyers up to tens of thousands of dollars.

'A Coalition government will scrap this tax, so Australians can keep more of their hard-earned money when purchasing a new car,' he said.

The Prime Minister was asked if he was prepared to use nuclear subs against China on Friday morning.

But he stressed that the $368 billion AUKUS deal will provide submarines that are nuclear-powered, not nuclear-armed.

‘We are building and are going to have nuclear-powered conventional-armed submarines. We don't want to use weapons against any country,’ Mr Albanese responded.

‘We want peace and security. Australia does not have nor are we accessing nuclear weapons.’

An act of festive good will has backfired spectacularly for Scott Yung.

The Liberal candidate for the must-win seat of Bennelong in Sydney’s lower north shore (pictured, below) sparked a ‘stranger danger’ warning after he handed out chocolate Easter eggs and campaigning material to children outside the gates of Lane Cove Public School on Wednesday.

The bizarre story, broken by the Daily Telegraph, prompted immediate concern from parents.

‘We’re always telling people not to take lollies from strangers,’ the parent told the paper, adding that Mr Yung was encouraging the children to do ‘exactly what we’re trying to train them not to do’.

The Department of Education reportedly confirmed the school’s principal had complained to Mr Yung and his campaign.

‘It is unacceptable for any member of the public to hand out Easter eggs, lollies or any other consumable to children outside a school,’ a Department of Education spokesperson told the paper.

A NSW Liberal spokesperson said Mr Yung was talking to parents in a ‘public space’.

‘While speaking to the parents he offered their kids Easter chocolate eggs, with parents’ permission, wishing them a happy Easter,’ the spokesperson told the paper.
