After recovering from bushfires and floods while grappling with a cost of living and housing crisis, voters' priorities in battleground Queensland have changed. So how will this impact decisions as voters head to the polls tomorrow?

After a marathon campaign, Australians are a day away from deciding who will govern the country for the next three years.Cost of living and climate policy are emerging as key voter prioritiesSince Queensland voters delivered the Coalition its "miracle" 2019 victory, they have endured traumatic bushfires and floods, dealt with the wide-ranging implications of a global pandemic and managed escalating cost-of-living and housing pressures.

While it has a teal-tinged crisis on its hands in the southern states, there is no doubt the Coalition has still sought to woo its Queensland voter base – all you have to do is look at the numbers. Similarly in central Queensland, swing seats have also copped considerable Coalition attention, with six visits to Capricornia and four to Flynn.

The seat saw four visits from Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese – the most of any Queensland electorate. Plagued by the late-term withdrawal of veteran Ryan Shaw, and with his replacement under investigation by the federal police, Coalition leaders have not stopped by the seat once.
