Ep. 293: ELECTION COUNTDOWN 2025 - Week 4 - 8 Days to Go

Early voting is now open, and E-Day is drawing near! Stephen Donnelly, Jessie McCrone, and David Feeney are back to unpack the previous week.  Both campaigns briefly paused for Easter and out of respect for the passing of Pope Francis. Who was helped, and who was hurt by this hiatus?  The hosts are joined by former digital strategist for Daniel Andrews and Jacinda Ardern, Reed Fleming.   Reed reveals what both major parties (and a few minor ones) have spent on their social media campaigns - plus their messaging missteps and sometimes bizarre attempts to go viral. Everyone wonders what the LNP campaign would look like if Dutton could be to his inner Darth Vader.  Plus - your listener nominations!
