The Cost of Living Election: Strategies and Shifts

On May 3rd, just five weeks from now, Australians will be heading to the polls. 

The campaigning is underway after a visit to the Governor General by the Prime Minister. 

So, who will convince Australians they deserve to lead the country for the next three years, Anthony Albanese or Peter Dutton? 

It’s an election with key policy differences so far all about the cost of living and energy policy.  

Today, election analyst Casey Briggs explains why there’s a growing number of swing voters.

He’s been looking at what they’re thinking as politicians begin the hard sell.
