Squiz the Election: Around the grounds
Elections aren’t as easy as plugging in a result that applies to the entire country. There are races being run across the states and territories, and they will dictate where PM Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese spend their time during the campaign. So in our 3rd episode of Squiz the Election we get you acquainted with the thinking behind where – and how – this election will be fought. And if you have a burning question about the election or politics more broadly, email us at hello@thesquiz.com.au and we'll have a go at answering them in our new podcast called Ask The Squiz, which will be released on Saturday mornings.
