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.

I’ll be voting for whoever seems the most communist. Which is of course literally none of them. Even on the left-wing ones are just centrists.

Some electorates have Socialist Alliance (explicitly democratic socialists, not to be confused with capitalist social democrats like typical Greens), VicSoc (the major sub-party is SAlt, a "revolutionary" communist organisation despite their electoralism), and some independents and Greens are open communists.

Know your candidates if you want to vote for anti-capitalists. If you're unlucky you might have to settle for the Senate only, but you should still push as "left" as possible in the House of Reps even if they aren't anti-capitalist.
