Is gender the sleeper issue of this election?
According to research to be published later this week by the ANU, the views of women and men in Australia are becoming more divided.
Researchers found the number of people who believe Australia has gone "too far" in promoting equality has doubled to 19 per cent.
What's more, the data suggests that gender and politics are getting more polarised and the views of women and men more divided. It is consequential for how we understand this election.
There was a moment in the second election debate where the leaders were asked to make a choice about what they regarded as their signature legacy policy.
Anthony Albanese nominated universal childcare as the change he most wanted to be known for as prime minister. Peter Dutton nominated his legacy wish as affordable energy, starting with his gas reservation plan and nuclear power stations.
The answers spoke volumes about not only their priorities and personal passions, but also who they were overwhelmingly talking to in the election campaign.
