Fair enough take, I naively believe in the voters to look at policy in a party at the given time. But with compulsory voting in Australia in 2024, low attention spans produce with some people an ambivalence and it may as well just come down to the memes they consume on the day. Which is good in some ways that (up until now) we could be so blasé as a country. Life is for living and enjoying, but I feel more people will tick the opposition as a compulsory casual voter that is usually ambivalent. These ones may do so as a protest to the current economy. Every average rando is angry about it these days.
I will add that I'm sure some new policies are being withheld until the election is called, don't want Albo stealing more beforehand like allegedly slashing immigration in half.
