Is our politics becoming more 'divisive'?

The Party Room

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has labelled Opposition leader the "most divisive leader" in modern history - suggesting this should be "disqualifying" for a leader. But Peter Dutton has hit back, slamming the Treasurer for being too focused on personality rather than policy.

It comes as Greens MP Max Chandler Mather controversially fronted a CFMEU protest in Brisbane, suggesting the Government had introduced "the most draconian and anti-worker" legislation against the embattled union. Will the move win the Greens votes, or risk alienating some of their base?
