Peter Dutton says his wife and kids would rather watch Married At First Sight than his Federal Budget reply


Peter Dutton delivered a fiery Federal Budget reply on Thursday night.

'I want to give a shout out to my wife tonight, who has just had surgery on her wrist and is at home watching with Rebecca, Harry and Tom, unless MAFS clashes with this broadcast' he said to laughter from colleagues. Journalist Sharri Markson shared images to Instagram of her posing in the Sky News Canberra studios while the controversial Channel Nine series was seen playing in the background. Sharri, 41, appeared oblivious to the huge TV screen behind her, which aired a scene of controversial couple Awhina Rutene and Adrian Araouzou fighting in their apartment bedroom.
