  • Week Four: Three battleground seats you need to watch
    Underneath the noisy narratives of the big election fight between Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton, there are individual, very tight contests taking place in battleground seats. It’s in these electorates that Australia’s next government could be decided. Crikey associate editor Cam Wilson and readers’ editor Crystal Andrews reveal how major parties use your personal data in highly-targeted political ads to sway the election result. Then editor Alisha Rouse and politics reporter Anton Nilsson discuss what’s at play in three key seats: Curtin in Perth, a litmus test for teals and Liberals; Gilmore in NSW, Labor’s most marginal; and the unexpected fight for Berowra, proving there is no such thing as a safe seat.

  • Week Three: Housing policy in the worst election ever
    Labor and the Coalition agree with voters: this is the housing election. But despite making headline-grabbing housing policy a focus of their official campaign launches, both parties' plans have been criticised by... pretty much everyone.Crikey politics editor Bernard Keane and readers editor Crystal Andrews unpack the policy promises, and ask why politicians refuse to address the problem at the heart of Australia’s housing crisis (no, it’s not immigration).Then editor-in-chief Sophie Black reveals why Crikey is running for parliament alongside 'Crikey for PM' campaign manager, our own Charlie Lewis.
