The documentary will feature prominent local and international political insiders including former George W. Bush political strategist Karl Rove, former Leader of the Brexit Party Nigel Farage, One Nation Leader Senator Pauline Hanson, National Editor at The Australian Dennis Shanahan, Nine’s Political Editor Chris Uhlmann, Sky News contributor and former advisor to Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Nicholas Reece, Liberal Senator James McGrath, Australian Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister and Cabinet and Special Minister of State Ben Morton MP, and former Prime Minister Tony Abbott AC. Featuring exclusive insights, they will take us behind-the-scenes of recent campaigns, including the upcoming contest, to reveal the state of play, the importance of character over policy, and why every step and misstep will matter in determining the election result.
Sky News anchor Peta Credlin said: “This federal election campaign is not merely a head-to-head party campaign, it’s now a personality contest, a character fight between the Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader. With so much of the policy ground between the two major parties now uncontested, which is a glaring error in my view because campaigns should be about contrast not consensus, we’ll see a campaign like no other where neither leader is particularly liked and the forward agenda is light on for substance at a time when our world order has never been more challenging. This unusual campaign will likely heighten the influence of minor parties and so-called independents, making ground game campaigns critical, so too preference flows.”
