With the federal election now only two months away – Labor's hopes have been further buoyed – with a sweeping victory in South Australia overnight. There are differences between the state and federal contests – and the various leaders in play – but two things are clear – the polls were right this time - and voters in South Australia at least were willing to turf out an incumbent Liberal government. Federally though – it's been a tough week for Labor. The sudden death of Kimberly Kitching – whose funeral will be held tomorrow – has triggered grief, anger, and allegations of bullying. While the Prime Minister has been building hopes of some cost-of-living relief in next week's Budget. A one-off payment is expected to hit voters' pockets as the campaign begins.
