Peter Dutton’s bus gets stuck in middle of Sydney; Leaders in last-minute dash to convince voters; Latest poll favours Labor, Anthony Albanese

In a development Peter Dutton will be hoping isn’t a sign of how this week is going to play out, the opposition leader’s media bus has got itself stuck in the Sydney CBD.

The coach, which ferries the travelling media pack from event to event, got wedged on a bike lane divider, holding up traffic for more than half an hour before being released.

“It’s been about 40 minutes of being stuck here waiting on the side of Pitt Street,” Nine federal politics reporter Claudio Vrdoljak, who was on the bus, told Today.

“We’ve had the cameraman and the snappers hard at work while the journos in true journo fashion stand and watch, filming, laughing, trying to move, get the wheel off the ground.”

Could it be a metaphor for the coming week?

“It could be a sign. But there certainly won’t be any slowing down for the politicians for the rest of the week, I’d say – after we get moving.”
