80th Liberal Party gala dinner overshadowed by Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's off-script comment about PM Anthony Albanese.

The Liberal Party celebrated its 80th birthday with a gala dinner at Sydney's Hyatt Regency, where attendees enjoyed marinated eye fillet and patriotic desserts. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's off-script comment, calling Prime Minister Anthony Albanese a "child in a man's body," overshadowed the event. Meanwhile, the Moderate faction gathered at nearby El Loco for their Black Hand Dinner.
