In Cairns, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is located on the banks of the Barron River infested with crocodiles, conspiring a labor resurgence at the northern end of Queensland.
It is his fourth visit to the State in 12 days, in a seat that has been made by Warren Entsch of the coalition for 15 years.
“The only time the LNP has won Leichhardt’s headquarters in the modern era is when Warren Entch was the candidate,” Albanese told journalists.
Labor believes in the imminent retirement of ATSCH, in addition to controversy around the replacement candidate of Liberal Jeremy Neale, who apologized this week by the critical social media publications of China’s role in the Covid-19 Pandemic and “feminist” pandemic that kicks the president of the United States Donald Trump in 2021, has created an opening in a state where the party has only five seats of 30 seats.

Albanese has already set a goal at Dickson’s electorate from his rival Peter Dutton in Brisbane, where he made his first campaign.
“I’m here to win new seats,” said Albanese. “[Dickson] is “
Albanese goes after the entire Dutton dynasty. Leichhardt was held by Charles Dutton, Peter Dutton’s great -grandfather.
Albanese believes that laborists can win a second -term majority government. Behind the scene, he expresses the confidence that he limits with the arrogants.
But electoral campaigns are about psychology as much as the strategy, and the clear message that Albanese is sending is that it is in the attack.
Trump Backlash benefits Albanese
Albanese’s self -insurance is reduced to some things: the early rebound of work in the surveys has coincided with the domestic setback against Trump, which has bleeding against the reaction against Dutton’s policies on education, work from home (WFH) prohibitions and public service cuts.
Monday morning and issuing a unreserved apology to Australian women, saying: “We made an error.”
The debate of the leaders on Tuesday night in western Sydney gave Albanese a second victory, since the audience of ‘undecided voters’ determined that he had surpassed Dutton. In truth, the debate offered little beyond the well -tested political lines that we expect from both leaders in the course of this term of Parliament.

But the audience interrogation line offered an idea of the main issues in the minds of voters: Trump’s tariffs, the cost of living, housing, energy, education, war in Gaza and immigration.
It was Dutton who was on the defensive most of the time; When asked how he would carry out a debate about cutting immigration without “demonizing migrants”, why the coalition did not support and his history in Medicare.
“The fact is that there were no cuts,” Dutton said. “The prime minister goes out with this Medi-Care campaign, the educational fear campaign … there is simply no truth.”
Labor has constantly attacked Dutton’s record as Minister of Health a decade ago when he tried to introduce a Cup of GP of $ 7, which was finally abandoned.
There must be a special pocket sewn in the Albanese suit jacket for your Medicare card, which has already been expelled from dozens of times, since it frames the elections as an option between a “Australian” or “or” Americanized “health system.
In 2025, the coalition has matched labor health policies, from $ 8.5 billion to Medicare to cheaper medications and women’s health. It has its own mental health policy of $ 500 million (while work has promised $ 1 billion).

‘It’s an atmosphere’
When Albanese completed his fourth stop of Queensland with a visit to the Great Barrier of Coral, on the boat walk back to Cairns, he paid his undivided attention to a group of local women of 20 and so many years, who commented that he should use more slang of generation Z.
Apparently, its joke that the coalition was “Delulu without Solulu” (delusional without solution) had more cut than any policy ad. This is an invaluable feedback because this is the first choice in which the voters of the Z and Millennial generation will exceed the Baby Boomers.
Minutes later, sitting with Sky News for an impromptu interview while accumulating for winds of 50 km/hy waves, Albanese told the live television audience: “It’s a vibes here.”
Until now, more time has passed in Queensland, the native state of its rival, than in Victoria, where even the ministers of the labor cabinet admit that the party could lose half a dozen seats in the external suburbs.
“I want to be prime minister for all Australians,” he said while announcing disaster relief for farmers affected by flood .
Looking back, the strategy was set at the first Albanese press conference of the campaign: “I am willing to win Dickson,” he said. “I am willing to win Brisbane. Griffith and Ryan, to win Leichhardt, to win Bonner.”
As the campaign progresses, it is inevitable that the work approach changes to defend the seats where his vote is in trouble: in the west of Sydney, the exterior of Melbourne, throughout the northern territory and in Perth.
The agreement of the minority greens ruled out
Despite feeling good, or perhaps that is why, Albanese has been agitated more and more by the questions about whether an agreement with the green (“no, no, no”) or if I would discard changes in the negative gear or tax discounts on capital gains as part of the negotiations with the minor party if Australia offers a minority labor government.
“I mean, you are a state correspondent, but let me explain,” Albanes told a journalist from the gallery not pressure.
“There are 25 votes that we have in the Senate to obtain legislation. We are in that [minority] situation [in the Senate] And I have been in that situation throughout this term. We have hit our position. “
This includes the call of Albanese’s captain to veto an agreement reached by the Minister of Environment, Tanya Plibersak, with the greens to deliver the laws promised by the nature of the nature of the Laborists to establish a new Environmental Protection Regulator.
When asked if he believed that voters would punish him for taking the same environmental policy as 2022 to the 2025 elections, Albanese again pointed to the minority of the Senate of Labor.
“We will get involved with the industry and with the environmental groups to make sure to do it well.”
While the leader of the Greens, Adam Bandt, speaks regularly about “keep Dutton out” and “improve work work”, Albanese’s refusal to answer questions about the very real possibility of an even bigger reality.
With surveys within the margin of error, there are still many possibilities that a minority government of persuasion can be delivered, and could reach ‘the environment’.
