Australian Election campaign completed week four

Week 4 of the election campaign has been engulfed by questions over leadership, a growing rift between Australia and Solomon Islands, and concerns over the rising cost of living, after the Reserve Bank lifted interest rates for the first time in over a decade. It's slated to be the most complex and logistically challenging election in Australian history, with COVID, cyber-attacks and disinformation campaigns all threatening to derail the democratic process.
