About this episode
It’s all come down to this. On Saturday night, Australia will decide it’s next government and next Prime Minister.
The final week of the campaign saw Scott Morrison, who is trying not to be a bulldozer, bulldoze a child during a media appearance at youth soccer training in Tasmania.
And Labor released the costings on its policies, just two days out from the election.
The party says it’s policies will only cost 7.4 billion dollars more than the Coalition’s, a figure that pales in comparison to the overall 220 billion dollar deficit.
