Australians head to the polls in a closely watched national election, with cost-of-living and global instability shaping voter concerns.
Australians are casting their final votes Saturday in a national election that pits Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor Party against Peter Dutton’s center-right Liberal Party.
