Fadden by-election race heats up as shock Aston win causes caution

The Fadden by-election race is heating up as the Liberal National Party are all hands on deck to keep Labor at a healthy 10.6 per cent margin. Labor are hoping the damning Robodebt report and its ties to former elected Fadden MP Stuart Robert will swing votes around. Meanwhile, the LNP remains wary after Labor’s shock Aston by-election win in April 2023. The key attack line from LNP candidate Cameron Caldwell is the current cost-of-living crisis while Labor candidate Letitia Del Fabbro is focusing on more affordable healthcare.
