By this point in the election campaign cycle, the voices of Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese are sounding more like an incessant droning than actually formed sentences. Thankfully someone has been paying much closer attention to everything the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader have gabbed on about in the last month and crunched the numbers on who’s said what. Heads up, “mate” has been uttered a lot.
Author and columnist Dr Kirstin Ferguson kept tabs on the two party leaders from April 11 to May 11. She analysed everything the two men have said and done on the campaign trail — from how many times they’ve addressed the public to the top five words they’ve said the most — to get an idea of what Morrison and Albanese are actually talking about.
