The Dunkley by-election has captivated national attention, with major political figures, including Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, making their final appeals. Dutton's campaign has gained momentum after polls indicated a possible surprise victory for the Liberals. Albanese, on his birthday, chose family time over attending the by-election results. High-profile interventions, such as Julia Gillard's support for Labor, underscore the election's significance. The race, marked by debates over immigration and crime, has seen over 100,000 voters expected to cast their ballots. The by-election's outcome could critically impact Albanese's leadership, amid a backdrop of national issues like the cost-of-living crisis and the Voice to Parliament referendum.
