We’re halfway through the election campaigning and Mike Smithson wonders if any of the leaders have made any cut through, and if Labor’s secret weapon in SA will make the difference in Boothby and Sturt.

With less than three weeks until the federal election, does the average South Australian voter know or care about policies, or are Easter holidays the real party of choice?

Leaders have been splashing the cash with lavish housing and health promises to win you over, but few voters seem to be engaged or mildly believing what they hear.

Campaigning always has a bizarre twist to its messaging.

SA’s most marginal seat of Sturt has been saturated with letterbox material which could leave swinging voters more confused than resolute.

Authorized flyers both landed on the same day from the Liberal and Labor parties.

There was no denying the political imaging from their bright red and blue party colouring.

But what might have been assumed to be Liberal in nature, with photos of local sitting member James Stevens and Federal leader Peter Dutton, was quite the opposite.

In bold font, the front read “A vote for James Stevens is a vote for Peter Dutton”.

Isn’t that what the Liberals would want you to think?

Not according to Aemon Bourke, who’d authorized the document on behalf of the Australian Labor Party.

Both black and white head shots were downcast and unflattering.

On the rear side, it listed a raft of Liberal cuts which we will supposedly pay for.

It also claimed that Dutton will leave us worse off.

At least the red flyers had a smiling colour photo of Anthony Albanese with his arms........
