The Latest Breaking News from Coalition

In the lead-up to the federal election, neither of the major parties has given higher education much thought or attention.

The first leaders' debate of the 2022 federal election campaign is on tonight. Here's what you need to know, and how to follow the developments.

This election will be won by the Coalition and Prime Minister Scott Morrison if the economic models perform as expected – and they usually do.

From a carbon tax to Medicare, energy bills and pensioner changes — the Coalition and Labor are both relying heavily on scare campaigns ahead of next month's poll.

This week’s Newspoll, conducted April 14-17 from a sample of 1,510, gave Labor a 53-47 lead, unchanged since last week. Primary votes were 36% Labor (down one), 35% Coalition (down one), 12% Greens (up two), 4% One Nation (up one), 4% UAP (steady) and 9% for all Others (down one).

Boat turnbacks, offshore detention and third-country resettlement have bipartisan support. Does Labor differ at all from the government?

Minister under pressure to release modelling he claims shows consumers would be $560 a year worse off under ALP’s electricity policy
