Election prediction: Trump will have caused so much chaos and destruction in America by the time of the Australian election that Dutton will be sunk by gluing himself to Trump Add in one or two rate cuts and an effective Dutton=Trump ad campaign, and Labor will win a slim majority govt #auspol

First election thoughts: - Labor can't communicate well and misunderstands the public - Labor has ignored the severe issues (housing crisis, cost of living, corporate price gouging) - The public loathes Dutton and thinks Albanese is a weak coward - Teals and indies are pivotal #auspol
