SYDNEY - Former defence minister Peter Dutton has been elected unanimously to lead Australia's centre-right Liberal Party after its election defeat, potentially foreshadowing a shift to the right in the country's largest conservative party.

Mr Dutton previously accused the Labour Party, under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, of being too"weak" to stand up to Beijing, and said the only way for Australia to keep peace in the Indo-Pacific is to"prepare for war". said he has a stronger relationship with Mr Dutton than he did with former prime minister Morrison, and that he would like to work together to form a bipartisan consensus on important issues to Australia.In 2008, he refused to support then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations - indigenous Australians who were forcibly taken from their families as part of a government-supported programme.
