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.

The Greens range from centre-left to genuine communists. There aren't many of the latter, but it's more than you'll find in Labor. And even Labor's centrism is closer to communism than the LNP's far right.

I feel the exact opposite tbh, that Labor is closer to the Liberals (not the Coalition as a whole) than the Greens.

That doesn't disagree with what I said, though?

I think saying, essentially "Labor is to the left of the LNP" is kind of a given, and a moot point then. Albo's Labor have been pushing further right than ever before. A dose of minority government would do them well.
