Politicians from both sides have joined forces to condemn reports showing Peter Dutton 's son pictured holding a bag of what appears to be white powder, saying targeting the families of politicians"should be off limits."Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes and Labor MP Daniel Mulino have jointly condemned reports targeting the son of Coalition leader Peter Dutton , branding them"journalism at its grubbiest.
However, speaking to Sky News Australia after the reports spread, Senator Hughes issued a scathing rebuke of the article, arguing she would"never" want her own children to experience similar targeting by the media. "It obviously looks like a joke photo. It doesn't look like something serious. And, you know, I just think targeting people's kids, where the politicians, where we sign up for this, our family are conscripts to it."
The Liberal Senator was backed up by Labor's MP for Fraser, who argued it was"really important" that journalists respected the privacy of politician's families.
