Around 2,500 people can decide the outcome of the ACT election, according to Canberra Liberals leader Alistair Coe, while Chief Minister Andrew Barr says no seat or vote is being taken for granted.
Seats have, and will, come down to the wire – separated by only a few hundred votes for the coveted fifth seat in each electorate.
It is no wonder that the leaders of each major party in the Assembly, including the Greens who hold the balance of power, are out campaigning vigorously and non-stop ahead of Saturday’s election, missing no opportunity to take potshots at their opponents and differentiate themselves from coalition partners.
The Liberals are campaigning hard on their tax cuts and promising to make services in Canberra more efficient. Labor is falling back on its “experienced and progressive” record, hoping to entice voters with stability during COVID-19, while the Greens are keen to spruik their environmental policies and social reforms.
With an election outcome just around the corner, hear the leaders’ pitches and find out what they stand for.
