Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has lashed out at the ABC and The Guardian he said they are dead to him after publishing “mean cartoons” about the Minister.

The backlash has come after the media outlets criticized Dutton’s plan to fast-track visas for white South African farmers, with Dutton defending his position saying he is completely blind to somebody's skin color.

However, Dutton’s comments have infuriated the South African Government who have demanded a retraction of the offensive statement by the Minister.
