[The first polls have closed in Australia where
some 18 million people are voting to
decide the next prime minister
Young voters are playing a crucial role
in the race between PM Anthony Albanese
of the Australian Labor Party
who is seeking a second term,
and opposition leader Peter Dutton
of the Liberal-National coalition
Cost of living, crumbling public healthcare
and unaffordable housing are top
of the agenda, and an unpredictable
Trump presidency looms over all of it
Also on the ballot are a range of
independents and candidates from
the left-wing Greens,
who could become kingmakers
in case of a hung parliament]
