Why should we expect any difference from previous elections?
Promises will me made on both sides, many will be not kept, not budgeted, or not feasible.
The herd will go with what they "know".
As mentioned in other posts, we are stuck with an entrenched system of pollies who are after their own self interests be it in their electorates or for personal reasons.
Vote for a perceived lesser of two evils, what other choice do we have?

Labor can win the next election, only if they parachute Mark McGowan into Canberra, and say to Albo; "See ya later mash potato", highly unlikely. Morrison should as the incumbent, like state incumbents, be sitting pretty, with due diligence he could have handled the Covid crises in such a way that his re-election would have been assured. Well Morrison cocked-up both the hotel quarantine and vaccine roll-out, and now the punters are seeing him for the turkey he really is.

ttbn are you still pushing One Nation? Well poor old Corny bit the dust.

My guess is that the Coalition (not just the Liberals) will get in again but not because they're "better" but because they're the lesser evil.
When one listens to the "we could do better" rhetoric of Labor it becomes clear that the Coalition is ahead in the competence Department. Also, take a good look at the supporters of Labor & then decide if you still want to vote for them !
What the Coalition needs to do right now is to kick out the Labor orientated hierarchy of Education & get a move-on towards restoring sanity in the system. The rest will snow-ball !

No matter how stupid, vicious, dictatorial the LABOR state governments are with their Stasi- like treatment of citizens - lockdowns, quarantines, on Covid, the federal Liberal government is getting the blame; they are supposed to be running the country, but they are not. Morrison is enabling the states by funding them. And, to make things worse for the Liberals, one of their own is trying to outdo the suppression of freedoms and tyranny in NSW.

"Fortress Oz" we are being called by a "confused and in some cases, disgusted" rest of the world, as they watch us doubling down on discredited strategies to eliminate Covid while they get on with how to best live their lives with it.

If we don't soon follow suit, Australia as we use to know it will disappear. Perhaps sympathetic countries could succeed in helping us get back our freedoms and democracy where they failed in Afghanistan.

I remember when Scot Morrison had the nickname -
"Scotty from Marketing." And he was good at his
job as a salesman. However as PM this approach
hasn't worked too well. You can't create low
expectations and then invariably blame others
when those expectations aren't met.

Morrison is regularly shown up by state premiers who
are unafraid to take responsibility and demonstrate
how real leaders act.

We're now lagging the rest of the developed world on
vaccinating our population and our international borders
are likely to remain closed well into next year.

The view that we have a PM who doesn't take responsibility
or wants to lead the country is growing and could be
terminal for his government. Yet it is interesting that
the PM's polling has fallen by a small percentage recently
but support for the Liberal Party remains steady.

So it's still anyone's game.

My father used to say - "If the rich rule a country,
even the poor are better off. But if a country is made
up of only poor - then everyone suffers." Or words to
that effect.

On the other side of the coin. Who would you vote for
those with a "born to rule" mentality," who take their
win as a given, or
those who have to work harder in order to get in
