Cost of living and disillusionment with major parties
Economic issues dominate the electoral landscape, with housing affordability, inflation, and the rising cost of living at the forefront.
Nathan Fioritti, a political analyst from Monash University, says both major parties are framing themselves as fiscally responsible, yet offering little substantial relief for struggling Australians.
This results in rather limited support for the large portion of Australians needing help to weather the cost-of-living crisis, he said.
Housing affordability, in particular, is likely to drive support toward smaller players like the Greens, whose proposals differ markedly from those of the major parties, he added.
Fioritti said he expects a repeat of the 2022 trend, where the Coalition and Labor each secured around 30% of the vote, due to the “increasingly widespread frustration” with the political status quo.
One potential wildcard is voter reaction to Australia’s stance on Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
