Voters in Australia go to the polls on Saturday (May 3) in what is likely to be a tight election. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor Party is ahead in the opinion polls, with opposition leader Peter Dutton’s Liberal Party not far behind. Both sides know that the election will be won or lost over the cost of living. Issues weighing heavily on voters’ minds include overspending on the green transition and high energy costs, as well as rising rents and retail prices. Roger Maynard reports from Sydney.
