SYDNEY -- Australian opposition leader Peter Dutton has walked back campaign pledges to slash public service jobs and force government employees back to the office, a move observers say underscores the distaste of "Trumpian" policies in the nation as it gears up for a key May 3 election.
Dutton, the leader of the Liberal-National Coalition, told Australian media outlet Channel 9 that its previous stance on ending work-from-home arrangements for government workers had been an error.
