Federal election 2025 live: Australia polls open, voting begins; Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton on election day campaign for Labor and Coalition – latest news

02/05/2025 23:07 The Guardian

Labor and Coalition make last pitches as final polls suggest Albanese set to be re-elected as Australian prime minister. Follow today’s news livePolls tracker; Election guide; Interactive seat explorerParty policies; Micro parties explained; Full election coverageListen to the latest episode of our new narrative podcast series: GinaGet our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcastAsked how much Donald Trump and international politics has influenced the Australian election, Albanese said: “this has overwhelmingly been about Australian issues”.The prime minister said the opposition has made an attempt at running “American style politics here of division”:Meanwhile, the opposition thought that they could just run on grievance and try to divide Australians. We’ve seen them try to start culture wars, including against Indigenous people, targeting them. Australians aren’t obsessed by those issues. We’ve seen an attempt to run American style politics here of division and pitting Australians against each other, and I think that that’s not the Australian way.We have a plan for cost of living relief today, by investing in tomorrow. We have a plan to make sure that we continue to build more urgent care clinics. 1.3 million Australians have benefited from that … 600,000 Australians have benefited from free Tafe … And for every single Australian taxpayer, all 14 million of them … will get a tax cut. We’ve created a million jobs since we were in office. Unemployment is the lowest it has been for any government in 50 years. But we know that there’s more to do, but if we get it right, if we are optimistic about Australia’s future, including acting on climate change and the opportunity it represents, not just the challenge, then we can be incredibly successful as a nation, and that stands in contrast to our opponents who’ve been bumping into each other on the field, who haven’t been able to take a mark during this campaign because they don’t know what they are doing.
