The campaign strategists may have had a plan but not everyone was interested in what they were selling. Where the parties pushed a message, the media focussed on something completely different, and the voters were left totally bamboozled.
Over the campaign, Four Corners travelled the country, talking to a group of undecided voters about what really matters to them. To their great frustration - the environment, desire for a federal anti-corruption commission - barely figured as campaign issues.

In this episode, those voters reflect on the campaign, talk about what really sways their votes, and offer a verdict on the way the political battle is fought, won and lost in Australia.
