Editor's note
|
The controversial Adani mine might seem like the key issue for Queensland’s election if you’re sitting in Melbourne, but there are other concerns for voters in the north of the state that could be election deciders.
As Stewart Lockie and Maxine Newlands explain, the preference deals of One Nation and Katter’s Australia Party mean that policies on crime, the cost of living and jobs could decide which way Northern Queenslander’s vote.
And as the results of the same-sex marriage survey are handed down today we’ll have a team of experts including Michelle Grattan, Carol Johnson, Adrian Beaumont and Amy Maguire, to explain what it means for law, politics and religion in Australia.
