Three days out from the Australian election and the cost of living continues to be a key issue on the campaign trail.

Australia's Treasurer said the figures are within the target range for inflation - but that has not stopped the coalition holding firm to its line that the Labor government has been disastrous for the Australian economy. Corin Dann spoke to Lisa Owen.

Paul Bongiorno is one of the 1.2 billion Roman Catholics who mourned the loss of Pope Francis this week. As he read tribute after tribute of the impact of the Pope’s life, he noticed what wasn’t on the front page – Peter Dutton’s last-minute policy announcements. “The Pope is a world figure… and of course, it swamped the world’s media, including here in Australia. So it’s not surprising that the death of this pope would overshadow anything that our leaders were doing in the election campaign. In fact, it would blow the campaign out of the water for a few days.” Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on how the Pope’s death changed the election.

On May 3, it will be decided whether the Labor Party, led by Prime Minister Antony Albanese, may remain in power for another 3 years, or whether the conservative Liberal/National Party, led by Peter Dutton, will take the reins.

In the media, we see and hear candidates every day who present themselves to voters in supermarkets, filling stations and at traffic junctions, shake hands and announce future political decisions. Many of these topics are also very important to our German-speaking community. Benjamin Kanthak and Wolfgang Müller analyse who is ahead halftime in the election campaign. - In etwas über 2 Wochen sind etwa 18 Millionen Australier aufgerufen, eine neue Regierung zu wählen. Dazu gehören auch viele Mitglieder der deutschsprachigen Community. Am 3. Mai wird entschieden, ob die Labor Party mit Regierungschef Antony Albanese an der Spitze noch weitere 3 Jahre an der Macht bleiben darf, oder, ob die konservative Liberal/National Party unter der Führung von Peter Dutton das Heft in die Hand bekommt. Daneben bewerben sich aber noch andere Parteien und Gruppierungen, so die GREENS, deren Parteichef Adam Bandt ist und dazu noch zahlreiche Unabhängige. In den Medien sehen und hören wir täglich Kandidaten, die sich beim Wählervolk in Supermärkten, bei Tankstellen und an Verkehrskreuzungen vorstellen, Hände schütteln und künftige politische Entscheidungen verkünden. Viele dieser Themen sind auch unserer deutschsprachigen Community sehr wichtig. Benjamin Kanthak und Wolfgang Mueller analysieren, wer zur Halbzeit im Wahlkampf, die Nase vorn hat.
