Peter Dutton has weighed in on the Opposition Leader’s latest campaign trail gaffe. 

Anthony Albanese said Australia’s borders are closed in an interview with the ABC this morning.

The Defence Minister says he’s concerned a would-be prime minister can’t get basic facts right.

Ray Hadley: “Were you aware of this decision, taken obviously early this morning, that we’ve closed the borders again?”

Peter Dutton: “That can’t be from this morning because the borders opened in February, from memory…”

Ray Hadley: “Ah hang on, so Lisa recorded the interview in December?”

Peter Dutton: [laughs] “I don’t know whether it’s nerves, or he’s just not up to it, or he doesn’t take the pressure well or the stress well, but how on Earth can this guy be prime minister when he can’t get the basics right?

“What is he talking about?”
