The Final Week: Dutton’s collapse, Albanese’s edge and Labor to win

Description

In the final week of the 2025 federal election campaign, we unpack Peter Dutton’s total campaign collapse, Anthony Albanese’s edge in the polls, and why a Labor victory now looks inevitable. From debate disasters and media blunders to desperate culture war tactics and vanishing credibility, we break down the major moments, analyse the role of independents and the Australian Greens, and predict the election result. It's been chaotic, it's been revealing – and it’s not looking good for the Coalition.
