In a special live election program, migrant Australians from key battleground electorates put their questions to Immigration Minister Tony Burke, and Shadow Parliamentary Secretary Arthur Sinodinos.

Areas with a large migrant population such as the marginal seats of Greenway, Banks, Lindsay and Reid in western Sydney, have traditionally been Labor heartland. The marginal seats of Bennelong in Sydney’s north-west, where almost half of the residents speak a language other than English, and Moreton in Brisbane’s south, Queensland’s most multicultural seat, are known to switch back and forth between parties. And may change yet again.

This week, Insight looked at the policies that migrants are most concerned about. Watch to see whether Burke or Sinodinos can win their vote.
