Australia Election 2025: Stability, Climate, and Economy Dominate Voter Concerns

As polls near closure in Australia, the latest updates on the federal election highlight the key issues shaping voter decisions. The discussion focuses on the "Trump factor" and its impact on Peter Dutton’s public image, as well as the controversial messaging by the Liberal Party. Economic uncertainty, housing affordability, and the rising cost of living dominate the conversation, positioning this election as the "cost-of-living election." While climate change has received less attention, it remains a critical concern for voters.
