    The Spin

    Australian Labor Party narrative

    Under this Labor government, Australia is turning the corner — inflation is low, real wages are up, and unemployment is down. But the country faces a crucial choice at the ballot box: to keep building with Labor or start cutting with Dutton. Only a Labor government will raise living standards, strengthen Medicare, invest in education, and bolster Australian national defenses. The Coalition, however, will leave Australians and Australia worse off across the board.

    Liberal/National Coalition narrative

    Ahead of the election, Australians must ask themselves two key questions: Are you better off today, and is the country better off than it was three years ago? The answer is clear — no. Under this Labor government, Australia is moving in only one direction — backward, with higher costs for rent, groceries, and gas. Only the Coalition will put Australia back on track by cutting taxes, reducing red tape, limiting migration, and lowering energy costs and housing prices.
