Good Friday marks a pause from the bark and bite of the election campaign with Prime Minister
00:07
Anthony Albanese spotted walking his cavoodle toto through the Sydney suburb of Lane Cove
00:12
this morning. A quiet moment in a symbolic seat. Bennelong, once the blue ribbon stronghold
00:18
of former Prime Minister John Howard, now held by Labor after a historic win in 2022.
00:25
It may have been a dog walk, but even that had a political undercurrent.
00:28
In a week where the PM's campaign has crisscrossed the country, targeting key marginals and hammering
00:34
home its pitch. Labor's visited close to 10 battleground seats this week, pushing policies
00:40
on housing, health, education and cheaper childcare. On housing, it's promising 100,000 new homes and a
00:47
5% deposit scheme for first home buyers. It's part of a $10 billion pitch to voters locked out of the
00:53
market. The message? The turbulence is easing and Labor wants credit for turning down the
00:58
economic dial. But the challenge now is cutting through. To the base, the burbs and the politically
01:04
blasé. For today, it's hot cross buns over hard sells, but the final sprint is just around the corner.
01:10
Early voting opens Tuesday and this campaign is about to rev back up.
01:14
Back up.
