Opposition Leader Peter Dutton asserts the Coalition is “ready” for the official launch of the election campaign.

“We’ve been ready since last year, to be honest, so we’ve been refining our processes and going through all of our policies and the costings,” Mr Dutton said.

“I think we’ve got an exciting plan for Australians, we want to get our country back on track.

“No Australian can afford three more years of a Laor government, let alone a Labor minority government so we’re ready for it.”
