How is the Australian public's perception of Donald Trump influencing the current election campaign?

Price's comments, and the Coalition's subsequent attempts to distance themselves, highlight the potential political risks of associating with Trump's divisive rhetoric in the Australian context. Recent polling shows growing Australian disapproval of Trump's presidency (60 percent view it negatively, up from 40 percent in November). This has allowed Labor to effectively link the Coalition to Trump's policies, raising concerns about potential economic impacts and governing style.

How does the Coalition's approach to tax reform and spending cuts differ from the current government's policies, and what are the potential consequences of these differences?

The Coalition's economic plan contrasts with the government's approach, prioritizing economic growth over significant tax changes to address a projected $179.5 billion deficit between 2024-25 and 2028-29. Their proposed public service cuts and repeal of certain tax cuts are specific actions aimed at reducing government spending. This contrasts with the government's focus on social programs and infrastructure investment, as seen in their off-budget funds.

How has public opinion shifted in key marginal seats, and what role have specific Coalition policies played in this shift?

This swing has reversed the Coalition's projected lead in 10 marginal seats, significantly impacting the overall election outcome.

How do Hastie's local campaign priorities interact with the broader national security concerns dominating the election?

Hastie's strategic focus on local campaigning in his marginal seat of Canning, alongside his past controversial comments resurfacing, may explain his reduced national presence. The Coalition's upcoming Anzac Day defence spending announcement will likely thrust him back into the national spotlight, subjecting him to scrutiny from defence experts. His low profile potentially reflects internal Coalition dynamics and strategic choices rather than an indication of his capabilities or importance.

How did internal disagreements and public opinion influence the Coalition's change in approach to the work-from-home policy?

This policy change reflects the Coalition's response to public opinion and internal disagreements. The initial policy, which aimed for a complete return to office, was criticized as poorly considered and potentially damaging to the party's electoral prospects, particularly among working women. The revised policy limits the return-to-office mandate to approximately two-thirds of the public service, based in Canberra.
