Word on the street
“A week out I still have no idea who I’m going to vote for, I’ve got the pamphlets at home from all the parties, but I haven’t looked at them yet. I will look through them before I go to the polling booths.”
“I’m a new voter – this will be my first time voting in Australia – so I’m really interested in tax rates, and what each party will do for me.”
