With polling day just around the corner, six experts analyse the political movements across the country, and what it might mean electorally.
We’re more than halfway through the march to polling day and politicians are zig-zagging across the country. Here’s what’s happening in each state.
In what’s sure to be a closely fought election, every vote counts, but some seats will see particularly tight races. Which ones are most at play?
Anthony Albanese burst out of the blocks to announce a cash-splash in the Sunshine State, but with very few seats likely to come Labor’s way, why start there?
If the polls are correct, David Crisafulli will become Queensland’s next premier on October 26. But once in office, there are several difficult issues waiting for him.
Despite offering billions in health and cost-of-living measures, the Queensland Labor government appears headed for defeat in the October state election.
The first woman to become premier from opposition, and the first to win three elections, Palaszczuk has announced her retirement from politics.
The once-popular Queensland premier is facing growing pressure to resign. How did Palaszczuk lose the public’s faith, and who could replace her?
The aftershocks of the 2022 federal election are likely to reverberate around the nation’s party system for years to come.
In the first week of the campaign we journeyed around the country with a team of politics experts. Now we retrace our steps to look at what’s happened since.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Labor leader Anthony Albanese met in Brisbane for the first debate on the election campaign.
What are the key seats and issues affecting Australians? Six experts tell us what to expect in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales.
Mavericks have existed since the earliest days of Australian politics. And they find a natural home in Queensland.
COVID-19 is so far proving to be a big advantage for incumbents. Opposition parties are getting little traction when making the case for change.
As Labor’s Annastacia Palaszczuk and the LNP’s Deb Frecklington vie for Queenslanders’ votes, leadership, COVID and economic recovery are set to dominate debate.
If Anthony Albanese becomes Labor leader, Australians will have the strongest ideological and stylistic contrast in major party leaders since Malcolm Fraser and Bob Hawke 33 years before.
With the Queensland election result still too close to call, Speaker Fiona Simpson is the first Liberal National MP to put her hand up to lead the party – and she immediately won praise from a crucial…
The rule of thumb in Australian politics has been that voters are reluctant to throw out governments after a single term. And if they do, it’s during a major crisis. Perhaps that’s a measure of Australians…
Apart from the brouhaha over some Victorian schools bumping one minute’s silence to before or after the traditional 11am, Tuesday’s Remembrance Day commemorations went off without a hitch, soberly recognising…
It looks like there’s a new Clive Palmer in town. At Monday’s Queensland Media Club lunch in Brisbane, where the Palmer United Party (PUP) leader talked down the federal budget and spruiked his own ideas…
As budgets go we’ve seen tougher, but not often. The first appropriation bill of the Queensland’s new Liberal-National government – the first non-Labor budget in 14 years – was always going to be austere…
Foreign investment, like any other policy, is a complex juggling act. A balance between welcoming foreign investment – without which Australia cannot survive – and protecting Australian interests in not…
If the hype didn’t quite match that of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party back in 1997, it was certainly close enough. Much was expected of the big man in the even bigger hat at this year’s Queensland election…
