Here’s how the two major party leaders spent the final day of the Australian 2022 federal election campaign
, have maintained a cracking pace on the final day of the election campaign. Guardian Australia’s Paul Karp and Josh Butler were with the leaders on Friday as they raced towards Saturday’s finish line.Morrison’s campaign has come full circle. It started as a case of “better the devil you know”, then took a diversion in the penultimate week when he introduced his vague bulldozer analogy to suggest he can change.
At the Jindalee housing estate in Pearce, Morrison followed his usual pattern of meeting a few happy new homeowners, who received homebuilder grants of $25,000 in the pandemic and thought accessing superannuation was also a great idea. The only renters you’re likely to meet on the Morrison bus are those waiting for their new build to finish.
Morrison responded that he disagreed with the “assertion” and “argument” he said was contained in the question, and bulldozed on, this time with a smile and a jibe that I, the reporter, was “sounding like a bit of a bulldozer” myself.Photograph: Mick Tsikas/AAP Morrison’s final day involved five stops in four electorates. It was a whirlwind of activity as the election rushed to its conclusion.
Locals told journalists that Sturt was a longtime Liberal area, but claimed there was a “mood for change” on the ground. Other cafe regulars asked “what’s going on here?” as they entered to see a dozen flashing cameras. Gillard was a hit with many young women, who flocked for photos and quick conversations. Albanese waved and smiled, while Malinauskas shook hands and tossed a footy with some of the older boys.“He’s the guy running against ScoMo,” one young girl told her friend.“What’s he doing here? None of us can vote,” noted one boy.
