Australia is heading into a federal election on May 3, with a significant shift in the voter base as younger Australians now outnumber Baby Boomers. On Sunday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Peter Dutton officially launched their election campaigns in Perth and Sydney, respectively. A central issue for both parties is addressing the growing concern over housing affordability and supporting first-time homebuyers. Albanese emphasized the power of voters in shaping Australiaโs response to global challenges, while Dutton promised to restore the dream of homeownership if elected. Both leaders are presenting competing policies aimed at making housing more accessible, recognizing it as a critical concern for younger voters. With housing emerging as a key battleground, the campaigns reflect a broader generational shift and a growing demand for solutions to Australiaโs housing crisis. The election is expected to be heavily influenced by how effectively each party addresses this pressing issue. #australiavotes #ausvotes #election2025 #voteaustralia #may3votes #ausvote2025 #australiaelection2025 #ozvotes2025 #ausfederalvote Moneycontrol is Indiaโs leading financial portal, offering market news, expert analysis, and powerful tools.
