Dutton media bus stuck in Sydney as campaign reaches final week

Peter Dutton’s campaign bus mounted a bike lane barrier on Pitt Street in Sydney on Monday morning, blocking rush hour traffic for over an hour and providing a handy metaphor to media companies he slammed the day before.

This bus hiccup comes the morning after Dutton labelled the ABC and Guardian “hate media” at a party rally, and locked horns with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the final election debate.

The bus mounted a bike lane divider near Martin Place, shortly before 8am on Monday morning
