Before entering politics, he worked as a police officer and ran a family business. Since then, Dutton has acquired a notable property portfolio, including commercial and residential properties, valued in the millions. While his investments may not be illegal, his financial gains highlight how politicians can benefit from wealth accumulation, particularly through property markets.</p><p>Critics argue that Dutton's wealth growth is symbolic of a broader trend where politicians, through insider knowledge or favourable policies, can capitalise on opportunities that aren't as accessible to the general public. Additionally, as a senior figure in the Liberal Party, Dutton has had influence over policies that affect the property market, such as tax structures and negative gearing, which can benefit property investors like himself.</p><p>His property portfolio and financial success have raised questions about conflicts of interest and transparency, especially in a political climate where housing affordability is a pressing issue for many Australians.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/negativegearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>negativegearing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/taxreform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxreform</span></a></p>
