It's game on for the political parties and independent candidates across Australia. And it's game on for you - the voter - as you seek to make sense of things and decide who's best to take the reins of our federal government for the next 3 years.

Over the coming weeks, we're going to prod and probe the big issues and policies in this election Shortcuts series, and we're keen to get your questions too... To start with, we're going to help you get your bearings to understand what the Albanese Labor Government needs to do to hang onto power, and what it will take to get the Coalition over the line.

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.
