Is Peter Dutton in any position to have a dig at the prime minister for his new $4.3 million clifftop house given the opposition leader's extensive property investments over the years? After Anthony Albanese drew a sketch of Dutton on Nova 93.7 last year that looked a lot like a potato, the opposition leader returned fire when he appeared on the station this week and drew a picture of a clifftop house, with a message beside it wishing Albo a happy (and imminent?) retirement.
The prime minister's decision last October to buy a beach house in Copacabana with his fiancé Jodie was tin-eared given the housing crisis, but it was probably impolitic of Dutton to join the pile-on given how many properties he's owned and profited from in the past. Dutton and his wife Kirilly currently own only one property, a farm in Dayboro just north of Brisbane that they bought for $2.165 million in 2020.
However, interest disclosure records show the Duttons have owned nine properties between them since 2014. Their most recent sale was a luxury Brisbane penthouse, which they flipped for $3.47 million in 2022 after purchasing it only a year before for $2.
