A bold prediction on what will sway the election

Australians will go to the polls in 2022 to elect a federal government. There are so many critical issues dominating the news: Covid-19 and its many variants; inflation; house prices; unemployment; education; health; and climate change.

Dan Ilic, an Australian comedian, started a crowdfunding campaign to fund Times Square billboards to embarrass Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Commonwealth Government over their inaction on climate change. His original campaign aimed to raise $12,500 to fund a billboard near November’s Glasgow COP26 conference. He ended up raising more than $228,000.

So what big-ticket item will dominate the 2022 federal election?
