One day out from the Australian Election and Labor seems to have it in the bag. 

If the polling stacks up, Anthony Albanese will remain Prime Minister and Peter Dutton will once again be relegated to opposition.  

There’s been criticism across the ditch that the coalition’s campaign has been full of U-turns and back tracks – undermining their credibility. 

Australian Political Commentator Bruce Hawker told Mike Hosking Dutton presented a risky persona, with many of his policies and comments quite Trumpish in their attitude. 

He says people likely started to think they’d prefer having the devil they know.  

The state of Dutton’s policies were also a concern, Hawker says, with many feeling underdone.
