It was supposed to be a debate, but it ended up as an argument with no clear result. | ANALYSIS by James Massola
It was supposed to be a civilised election debate, but it ended up being a straight-up political brawl with no clear winner.
With Australia’s 17.2 million voters to begin casting their ballots on Monday, neither leader made a major misstep but neither were pitch-perfect, either. Morrison claimed he had never seen corruption within the Liberal Party, while Albanese ducked the specifics of a question about his party’s help-to-buy housing scheme.Morrison’s closing statement, in which he warned “a small target is always a big risk”, summed up his election strategy.
His closing line that “the cost of everything is going up but your wages aren’t … you do have a choice to change the country for the better, right now” will resonate with some voters.Morrison looked more nimble, although some viewers may have found him too confrontational.
