PM dismisses Dutton’s referendum ‘thought bubble’ By Josefine Ganko Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had dismissed a Coalition proposal to consider a referendum on powers to deport dual national criminals as “another thought bubble”, as internal division within the opposition emerges with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and shadow attorney-general Michaelia Cash making conflicting statements about the idea.
“This is another thought bubble from Peter Dutton that has not made it to lunchtime. This morning, you had Peter Dutton on one TV channel calling for a referendum and Michaelia Cash on another TV channel ruling it out,” Albanese told a Queensland press conference.

Dutton told Seven’s Sunrise this morning that Coalition was proposing “a discussion about whether we have adequate laws and whether the constitution is restrictive”.
“Ultimately, what I want to do is keep our country safe and community safe,” Dutton said.
Meanwhile, appearing on Sky News, Cash said all options were on the table “when it comes to protecting our country and keeping Australians safe” but that the Coalition “has no plans to hold a referendum at this stage and would only look to that option as a last resort”.
Albanese said the idea had “not been thought through”.
“It is not clear where this has come from. Peter Dutton wants to talk about anything but the cost of living,” he said, claiming Dutton had “no plans, just thought bubbles”.
