Nat Barr has questioned the priorities of Peter Dutton following his call to hold a referendum, arguing more Australians were worried about the cost-of-living crisis.

The Sunrise host grilled the Opposition leader about spending hundreds of millions of dollars on an issue that was not front and centre in the lives of most Aussies.

Mr Dutton said he would support calls to back a referendum that would allow politicians to deport dual citizens from the country if he won the federal election.

‘Do you really want to send voters to another referendum poll?’ Barr asked on Tuesday.

Mr Dutton defended his decision and said his first priority was keeping the country safe.

‘My argument is if you betray your allegiance to our country in that way you should expect to lose your citizenship,’ he said.

‘We would never grant somebody citizenship if we knew they were going to plan a terrorist attack.’

More to come.
