The contenders.
The incumbent, Prime minister Scott Morrison from the Australian Liberal (Conservative) Party who became a prime minister after an internal coup that ousted the sitting prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull. He is the first Australian prime minister from a Pentecostal Church and many don't trust him because of that, just like Mitt Romney's Mormonism didn't make him cross the line against Obama. He has a Homeland security minister who simply doesn't like African refugees. If returned back, family reunions for African Australians and in particular for Somalis and South Sudanese will cease to exist.
Prime minister Scot Morrison
Australia's Homeland Security Minister. Peter Dutton. He is he most hated and divisive politician in a major party. Likes to portray himself as an Alt-Right. Might challenge for the top job again. Rank and file conservatives don't like like him since he organised the coup to get rid of a popular prime minister.
Their opponent.
The opposition leader, Bill Shorten from the Australian Labor Party, who promises everything to everyone. He is an environmentalist when speaking in Melbourne and a coal miner when he is in Queensland. He will say anything to please everyone. Untested yet on his immigration policies.
Opposition leader, Bill Shorten
I predict a hung a parliament, maybe Labor could just cross the line with a one or two seat majority.
Aussies, what is your take?
