With Australians heading to the polls this weekend, the race between incumbent prime minister and Liberal party leader Scott Morrison and the Labor Party’s Anthony Albanese looks too close to call, following what has been called “an unedifying campaign”.
Barrie Cassidy is the former host of ABC’s political commentary program Insiders and has covered federal politics for more than 40 years – reporting on 13 federal elections.
Cassidy says it’s not the campaign that determines elections, but the performance of both the government and the opposition over the last three years.
