The major parties have promised huge funding boosts to health care ahead of the federal election, but have they addressed the issues important to Australians?


SBS News has asked voters in the Seat of Banks what they would like Australia's future government to focus on.

Banks was a safe Labor seat for 40 years, but all that changed in 2013 when the seat was won by Liberal candidate, and now Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs, David Coleman.

The seat is one of the country's most culturally diverse - held by the Liberal-National Coalition on a margin of just 1-point-4 per cent.

Around 44 per cent of voters in Banks were born overseas and with this diversity also comes a range of opinions about what matters to voters.
