The media union has called Peter Dutton’s behaviour towards two ABC reporters “unnecessarily aggressive” as the public broadcaster vowed to continue to ask the opposition leader and others tough questions.
Dutton has twice clashed with ABC reporters at separate doorstops this month, and the confrontations have been amplified by Sky News which has run the press conferences in full and described the incidents as a “brutal attack” and “torching” by Dutton.
