Albanese stakes out Coalition seats in Queensland as Morrison zeroes in on NSW ahead of election

Guardian Australia analysis of leaders’ visits since early December shows Labor focused on clawing back ground in northern seats

The federal Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, has spent more than a fortnight in Queensland since parliament rose in early December as he stakes out northern seats as a key part of his plan to form government.

A Guardian Australia analysis of seats visited by both Scott Morrison and the opposition leader in the six weeks since the “phoney campaign” began shows Queensland has been the focus for Labor but the prime minister has zeroed in on marginal seats in New South Wales.
