Incumbent PM Anthony Albanese toured Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania, promising a better future by declaring, "Australia deserves better and I'll give them better." His message is aimed at inspiring voters facing today’s challenges.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton, campaigning in South Australia and Western Australia, is banking on bold promises. Despite trailing in the polls, Dutton remains confident, assuring supporters that under a Coalition government, life would be "cheaper" — a nod to the unexpected twist in the 2019 election. He even hinted, "I think there will be some big surprises on election night," sparking excitement across the nation.
