I’m in Parramatta, a major seat in western Sydney which is also one of the most multicultural in the country.
It tends to be a fairly safe Labor seat but local candidate controversies could put it potentially within the government’s striking distance.
I’ve just spoken to three first time-voters - one who’s just reached voting age and two who’ve recently became Australian citizens.
Amit Goyan, 23, who gained citizenship last month after living here for six years, says the main issues for him are the cost of living and jobs.
"Right now you can see the price increase in everything, in food, in petrol, and the job market isn’t very good. Lots of people aren’t getting hired due to Covid and most businesses have shut down.
"I think Labor can do something different. So I’ll vote for Labor.”
For Fernando, also a new citizen, he doesn’t know much and has just showed up because - due to compulsory voting - he has to. He says it’s hard to judge the current Morrison government.
Lastly, just graduated high-schooler Luka, 19, said she didn’t know much about politics from school so was just following the handout her mum had sent her.
“With uni and life sometimes it’s hard to get politically educated, it’s just easier to ask - hey mum, dad, what are you voting for?”
She showed me the screenshot on her phone. Her family’s voting for the Liberal Democrats and Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party.
