00:00Walking into an election year, with the sounds and slogans of an unofficial campaign.
00:12The coalition government is the only chance to get our country back on track.
00:17The opposition leader using his first pre-election speech of the year to make his case for the
00:22top job.
00:23The newly elected coalition government is the last chance to reverse this decline.
00:28As the coalition tries to gain electoral ground in suburban Melbourne, vying to win back seats
00:33like Aston and Chisholm, where this rally was held.
00:36If we win Chisholm, we're a step closer to winning government.
00:40No policy announcements or detail, though one message was on repeat.
00:44It's time to get Australia back on track.
00:49Get this country back on track.
00:51In an homage to Donald Trump's Make America Great Again, this slogan, the same as the
00:56one used by New Zealand's Conservative Party in their winning campaign last year.

01:05This is the man who wants to be Prime Minister of Australia, but not one new idea.
01:09The opposition leader also trying to pre-empt the return of the so-called Mediscare campaign.
01:15They need a new play sheet, honestly.
01:18We will commit to Medicare.
01:20Doing little to stop the government.
01:22People should be very, very afraid of Peter Dutton and Medicare.
01:26This election will be a referendum on the future of Medicare.
01:30Mr Dutton also vowing to bring down the cost of living, rebalance migration and sell the
01:36opposition's nuclear proposal, though some outside voicing their opposition.
01:45This campaign-style rally follows the Prime Minister's blitz of northern and western Australia
01:50last week.
01:52Peter Dutton is trying to evoke a sense of nostalgia for voters in what he's saying were
01:57better days, while Anthony Albanese's message emphasises a future economy.
02:03Two outlooks set to come into sharper focus with an election due by May.
