In short:

The federal election will be called tomorrow for May 3, the ABC has confirmed.

It triggers a five-week campaign to convince voters whether Labor under Anthony Albanese or the Coalition under Peter Dutton is most fit to lead the country.

What's next?

The prime minister will head to government house tomorrow morning to call the election.

Don't vote 1 for the major parties guys. Minor parties and independents don't need a majority they just need to prevent either of the big ones from getting one and they'll be forced to negotiate.

The exception here being teal independents who vote with the Libs, as the colour name suggests, they're not for workers. The only difference is that they believe in climate change and are not as socially conservative.

Plus, you can control where your preferences go anyway if your first choices don't get elected.
