Cabinet minister and Labor spokesperson Jason Clare is continuing his media rounds this morning.
On RN Breakfast he’s asked about the latest polling showing Labor ahead, but he tries not to get too giddy, saying it’ll be “very, very tight” on the weekend.
In Peter Dutton, you saw all of that aggro and negativity that you see in the parliament in that debate, and very little optimism.
I think one of the most chilling parts of that debate was Peter Dutton defending his decision to try to introduce a tax to go to the doctor. Ask people in Western Sydney what’s on their mind, a lot of people will talk about Medicare.
With all the excitement of a major event, we know that voting may not be top of mind when NRL fans arrive in Brisbane.
We also know fans will be busy and not wanting to spend some of their Magic Round weekend at a polling centre, so we’re encouraging them to cast their vote early so they can focus on enjoying the footy.
