What do Australian election voters think

With the election campaign in full swing and the Australians who went to the polls on May 3, we asked the voters undecided throughout the country what they thought they were the big problems and what they would conquer their vote.

To detonate the Canberra bubble, we talked to 12 undecided voters in the new South Wales, Victoria, Wa and Queensland to evaluate what the daily Australians considered the real problems and what they did of their politicians.

The voters have been recruited through Resolve Strategic, which leads regular surveys of laps for the Herald AND Age. They were subjected to screening to make sure they lived in the seats that could help decide the electoral result of 2025, they were not fully engaged in their voting choice and did not work in an occupation that would give them a special vision of the elections.

We asked them questions about their maximum priorities for politicians, their opinions on the main parties and their leaders, what they have done of minor and independent parts and how they felt for the prospects of Australia.

Their answers have been frank, ranging from local issues on crime and internet coverage to the convenience and health of homes.

The common issue was the cost of living. Most said they believed that the needs were becoming more expensive and had to be addressed by the next government.

There was also a sense of pessimism on the future, whether it is economic perspectives of Australia or a cultural change.

Several voters have also indicated a lack of trust in the two main parties, believing that their leaders are not very interesting or that Parliament could benefit from a greater influence by minor and independent parts.

Andy Hannan, 42, a director of the building who lives in the Bradfield headquarters in Bradfield in Sydney, said he did not usually vote for the main parties.

“If you want to see the most localized things and have changes in which people are more in tune with the local community in general, I saw it (with) independent candidates,” he said.

‘Not realistic and achievable’

Adrian Hill, 50 years old, a chemical production director of the marginal headquarters of Deakin in Victoria, thinks he can “vote” from the main parties.

“I examined some of the policies of the minor parts and are incredible. But they are not simply realistic and achievable,” he said.

Anna Deakin, 22 years old, lives in Griffith’s electorate in Queensland and is a nursing assistant, student and retail worker. Climate change was on his list of issues that needed a strong action, but the cost of living was the most urgent.

“In my list of priorities there is the cost of life and rent, how much the rent increases … I literally have a side bin of walking two beagles every single day, seven days a week, twice a day, just to be able to pay the rent and save money,” he said. “(The elections) will determine how many people go financially.”

George Semertzidis, 57 years old, an entrepreneur who lives in the vulnerable electorate of Mcewen’s work in Victoria, said he felt not inspired by the leaders of both main parties.

“I don’t remember the last time I looked at liberal and Labor and I thought” I will vote for this boy, “said Sementzidis.

“People tire somehow of the same government and want a change for the good of change, not because the next person will be better. And I fear that that’s why Peter Dutton will be elected.”

We plan to check -in with them during the campaign to evaluate their opinions on how the candidates and the parties performed and ask if they decided for those who will vote.
