Liberals decry government ‘dirt unit’ as Labor scrutiny leads to fiery clash during Senate estimates
#PeterDutton had no access to sensitive information when he invested in several banks shortly before a massive bailout was flagged to save them from the #GlobalFinancialCrisis, according to his office.
Labor has raised questions about a number of investments disclosed by Peter Dutton between October 2008 and March 2009, including on the day before the $4bn package was announced by the Rudd government.
In particular, Labor figures focused on disclosures made on 23 January 2009, which show Dutton bought shares in Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank and Westpac Bank. All three companies reported record lows on this day.
