Federal Election 2025

Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese have been hammering home their message this week that voters should put one of their candidates first to avoid a minority government.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has made a final impassioned plea to voters to consider ‘hope versus fear’ on the eve of Australia’s Federal election.

Labor is ahead of the Coalition, a fresh and closely watched election poll has revealed, but there’s still some troubling news for Anthony Albanese.

Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton are leaving nothing to chance on the final day of campaigning for tomorrow’s election which will decide the government for the next three years.

PETER DUTTON: Are you, your family, and our country better off today than three years ago? Consider what’s occurred on Labor’s watch.

Pollsters, strategists and party sources alike say there are very few guarantees in this election, but these are the key battlegrounds to watch.

Peter Dutton has launched a final blitz across marginal electorates as the Coalition revealed $14 billion in savings - but also a short-term blow to the Budget - in its long-awaited costings.

Anthony Albanese has declared he is a ‘reformist’ not a revolutionist as he made his last ditch pitch to Western Australia two days out from the Federal election.

The Coalition have called for Anthony Albanese to ‘be honest’ about Labor’s intentions to bring back a rejected Voice to Parliament by stealth if re-elected.

WATCH: In Up Late, Ben Harvey compares Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton’s policies on cost of living, housing, economic management, defence and energy and calls bullsh*t on campaign pledges.

LATIKA M BOURKE: With her first and only podcast appearance, Penny Wong has bowled a wrecking ball through the ALP’s carefully managed campaign.

Julie Bishop’s absence from the campaign trail in Curtin has been noted, but Liberals insist she has been silenced by diplomatic rules and would back the party’s bid to win back her old seat if she could.
