00:00On his final full day of campaigning, Peter Dutton has come to the West, bringing what
00:08has been a familiar sight through his campaign, spruiking the Coalition's pledge to cut the
00:14fuel excise.
00:15In the marginal seat of Tangney earlier, held by Labor, he stopped off at a road equipment
00:20store.
00:22Mr Dutton was pressed on the Coalition's costings released yesterday and suggestions that they
00:26only partially account for his election promises and the larger deficits for the first two years
00:33that are bigger under Labor.
00:35Mr Dutton largely deflected those questions, sticking to his campaign themes.
00:41It also appears he's taken a leaf out of the Prime Minister's book, coming with a prop.
00:46He was holding it up a number of times.
00:48It wasn't a Medicare card, but a front page of the Australian newspaper.
00:52The headline that read, Life will be cheaper under me, in reference to Anthony Albanese.
00:59Can you guarantee that life will be cheaper under you?
01:02I can, and I can do that because life will be cheaper under a Coalition government because
01:07we'll have got rid of the worst, biggest spending government in 40 years, and we will manage
01:13the economy as John Howard and Peter Costello did.
01:15The Prime Minister was in the seat of Tangny just yesterday, and it goes to show how tightly
01:21fought this contest will be.
01:24WA was a Liberal Party stronghold before the last election, but it lost five seats in 2022,
01:30four to Labor and one to Attil Independent in the seat of Curtin.
01:35Though Peter Dutton tried to project confidence about his prospects in this state.
01:39So on the final sprint, the opposition leader will be hoping that movement brings him momentum
01:47tomorrow.
