Halftime in the election campaign

In just over 2 weeks, around 18 million Australians are called upon to elect a new government. This also includes many members of the German-speaking community. On May 3, it will be decided whether the Labor Party, led by Prime Minister Antony Albanese, may remain in power for another 3 years, or whether the conservative Liberal/National Party, led by Peter Dutton, will take the reins. However, other parties and groups are also applying, such as GREENS, whose party leader is Adam Bandt, and numerous independent parties. In the media, we see and hear candidates every day who present themselves to voters in supermarkets, filling stations and at traffic junctions, shake hands and announce future political decisions. Many of these topics are also very important to our German-speaking community. Benjamin Kanthak and Wolfgang Müller analyse who is ahead halftime in the election campaign.
