💨 Abstract

In the May 2025 Australian general election, the soaring cost of living, economy, energy, and China are key issues. Australians have endured significant inflation, with a 7.8% peak in 2023, causing housing affordability problems and high interest rates. Both major parties are divided on how to transition away from fossil fuel-generated electricity and deal with China, Australia's largest trading partner and strategic threat.
