• Your Shortcut to... Week 2 of the Aussie federal election campaign

  It's Week 2 and we're into the swing of the election campaign, but it's been an unusual one with US President Donald Trump's tariffs announcement dominating the agenda. So we'll get you across how that intersects, along with the Coalition's work-from-home backflip and the focus on Labor's handling of the economy. And we have some excellent questions from Squizers in our reboot of Ask The Squiz - this week they're about the debates, how we know what the leaders say is true, and campaign gaffes.  Squiz Recommends:  Email us: Send us your questions about the election to [email protected]. You can ask us anything about politics, how the government works, whatever’s on your mind, and we'll pick the top few to answer next week.
