Dutton tells PM to ‘roll his sleeves up’
Mr Dutton said he did not agree with Mr Turnbull’s recent comments but did not elaborate further.
“The most import thing to me is to get the job done, to keep the industry here, because we need steel manufacturing in our country for many reasons,” he told Sunrise.
“I think the prime minister needs to, frankly, roll his sleeves up.”
‘Pick up the phone’: Dutton tells Albo to call Trump
Opposition leader Peter Dutton has told Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to “pick up the phone” and call US President Donald Trump after a spat with former PM Malcolm Turnbull.
“The most important thing is for the prime minister to pick up the phone and speak with the president,” Mr Dutton told Sunrise.
“For the trade minister to speak to his counterpart and for the treasurer to speak to his counterpart and for the foreign minister to speak to her counterpart,” he continued.
“Those are the important discussions that are going on - or should be going on at the moment.
“Without those discussions, we won’t get an exemption from the trade tariff.
“The priority is to make sure the Government can get a deal here because it does have an impact on Australian jobs and Australian industry.”
