Australian election – Opposition in front as Albanese’s ratings slump
Australia’s race to power is underway as the campaign trail enters week two
Prime Minister Scott Morrison is barely hanging on as he faces opposition Anthony Albanese.
The Opposition Labor party remains in front but Albanese’s ratings have slumped.
Both parties have two very different visions for the country, Morrison putting his power behind economic recovery and national security.
While Albanese is pushing for an overhaul of aged care, more disability support and desperately trying to move on from this unemployment blunder.
Recent polling shows a large percentage of Australian’s might even throw their support behind a minority party, steering clear of the two leading sides.
Political scientist Anne Tiernan says the title is anyone’s at this point in time.
This comes as the controversial security pact between China and the Solomon Islands is finalised.
The deal means China will build a military base just kilometres away from Australia’s borders.
There are concerns about what this means for Australia’s National security and which political party is best to handle the challenge.
The campaign trail will continue for the next few weeks before voters head to the polls on May 21.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.
Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.
The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.
Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
