Coalition frontbencher Jacinta Price mentioned her intention to “make Australia great again” during her campaign stop in Perth, but soon afterwards, she denied having made that statement.

Price was accompanied by opposition leader Peter Dutton and Michaelia Cash at a rally held at the Mount Pleasant Bowling Club earlier today, where she echoed a line reminiscent of US President Donald Trump’s slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

“We have remarkable candidates across the nation, and I am immensely proud to stand alongside them to ensure that we can make Australia great again, restore Australia’s former glory, and get the country back on track,” she stated.

Coalition frontbencher Jacinta Price remarked she wants to "make Australia great again" during the campaign trail in Perth but, a short time later, denied she ever said that.

“If we do that, we can get our country back on track.”

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was also on the campaign trail in Western Australia today alongside Premier Roger Cook, where he promised $60 million to expand ferry services in Perth.

The major party leaders spent the day rallying voters ahead of both their official campaign launches tomorrow.

Voters will head to the ballot boxes for the federal election on May 3.
