Exclusive: Albanese cancels appearance at ‘intimate’ dinner while Liberals postpone ‘evening briefing’
Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton have both cancelled fundraising events with donors amid heightened sensitivity about political campaigning in the wake of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
On Monday afternoon, the prime minister’s office confirmed Anthony Albanese had cancelled his appearance at an “intimate” and “exclusive” dinner capped at just 10 donors in Sydney this Wednesday. The dinner was billed as a “special opportunity” for targeted donors to connect with Albanese in a “private setting”.
