Which party is your preferred one and why?

Undecided. Labor, family votes that way, it’s been a long time since they were in power, mixing it up, prefer their policies.

LNP, regular conservati­ve voters, better tax policies, don’t like Labor.

Undecided between smaller parties, like to support the underdog.

Greens, support environmen­tal policies, internet, like most of their policies.

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.”
