Key Issues Influencing the Election

Several critical issues are poised to influence voter decisions:

Cost of Living: Rising expenses remain a primary concern for many Australians. The Albanese government has introduced measures such as tax cuts and support for bulk billing to alleviate financial pressures.

Housing Affordability: The housing crisis continues to impact various demographics. Experts advocate for increased investment in social and affordable housing, nationwide rental protections, and tax system reforms to address structural barriers.

Economic Management: Both major parties emphasize their capacity to navigate global economic uncertainties and manage domestic financial stability. The Coalition critiques Labor's economic strategies, while Labor highlights its initiatives to support Australians during challenging times.

Marginal Divisions to Watch

Several electorates are considered marginal and could significantly influence the election outcome:

Higgins (VIC): Traditionally a Liberal stronghold, Higgins was won by Labor's Michelle Ananda-Rajah in 2022. The seat's abolition and redistribution may impact neighboring electorates.

North Sydney (NSW): Held by independent Kylea Tink, this seat's abolition due to redistribution could affect adjacent divisions and the overall balance of power.

Hasluck (WA): With boundary changes and the creation of the new seat of Bullwinkel, Hasluck's political landscape may shift, making it a key seat to monitor.
