Most important since 2019, I hope we can all agree!
In all seriousness, I don't know if 90 nice has picked this up from an election ad or something, but I don't believe either side can make such a claim with conviction. You really do have to squint to see any significant policy differences between the parties this time around; it's a far cry from, say, Abbott vs Rudd in 2013: https://www.theage.com.au/politics/fede ... 5ab3y.html
Maybe in power (or better still, constrained by a hung parliament), Labor will feel free to pursue a more transformative agenda. And it's also possible that a narrowly re-elected Liberal Party will finally tire of Morrison and make a move to shift the party back to the ideological right. But that's just speculation; for now, on face value, we seem to be dealing with Coke vs Pepsi Max in a country where something other than a soft drink is desperately required.

The importance will be to the party that loses, whichever does will go into a spiral of recriminations and internal reviews.
For the vast majority of the rest of us, there will be bugger all difference either way.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
