After five tiring weeks on the campaign trail, what have voters learned about Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton?

Overview

  • Prime Minister Anthony Albanese campaigns in Brisbane, highlighting Labor's fee-free TAFE policy and Medicare commitments in marginal seats like Longman.
  • Opposition Leader Peter Dutton intensifies his 28-seat campaign blitz, including visits to safe Labor seats like Makin to maximize visibility before polling day.
  • Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles criticizes the involvement of Exclusive Brethren volunteers and condemns homophobic remarks linked to a Labor MP’s family member.
  • Samantha Marshall, granddaughter of former PM Malcolm Fraser, endorses independent Alex Dyson in Wannon, citing a departure from traditional Liberal values.
  • With more than two million early votes already cast, high early turnout and volatile polling signal uncertainty despite Labor's narrow lead.
