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.

Labor has updated their policies this morning with the campaign announcement:

In my other comment I mentioned LNP's climate change position, here is ALPs:

So I had a brief look at the Labor policies, and to be frank, it all looks reasonable. I didn't see anything there where I thought "that's an awful position".

So I re-visited the Liberal version. Maybe they all sound fine at first. Oh wow the Liberal one is awful. It's all 'Labor bad' and 'Under Labor...' and 'fix the mess of Labor'. Why are they the only party of the three to trash talk their opponents?

I think that's pretty classic conservative politics isn't it?

Not specifically whingeing about everyone else maybe but certainly undoing all the mistakes the progressives have made.
