After four weeks of the campaign: Is it all over?

  • Résumé

  • Week four of the federal election campaign shrank to three working days – bookended by Easter Monday and ANZAC Day – and was upended by the death of Pope Francis, briefly halting campaigns by Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton. Nearly two million pre-poll votes now bank Labor’s incumbency edge while the Coalition flounders after three chaotic weeks. Dutton’s own mis-fires – touting a $21 billion defence splurge, scrapping the 20 per cent HECS discount, axing EV subsidies, and floating an antisemitism-focused citizenship test – clash with mortgage-stressed voters hearing nonstop “cost-of-living crisis” headlines despite inflation falling and wages rising. Fresh opinion polls put Labor ahead at around 54–46, leaving the only real question of whether there will be majority Labor government or minority backed by Teals and Greens, while climate, NDIS, housing and Gaza stay off the radar. #AUSPOL
