We're back with an election campaign recap!

News Fighters is back from hiatus with a one-off recap of the 2025 Australian Federal Election campaign policies from the two major parties. It’s do-nothing Anthony Albanese versus the uncosted Peter Dutton. Who will win on May 3? Not the Australian people by the looks of it!
