The game scenario starts on October 17th. If you’re interested in understanding Australian election politics better, a good place to start is Prime Minister Forever - Australia 2007.

From the 2007 scenario description: “After more than a decade of the Howard Government, a young and untested Labor leader - Kevin Rudd - has risen on the national scene. Is it time for a change, or will Australians elect John Howard to a fifth consecutive Liberal government?”

John Howard’s description: “Having tempted fate - yet again - by contesting one more election, John Howard finds himself facing dismal election chances, against a fresh-faced Labour party leader. Will his political prowess enable Howard to steady the rudder of his foundering Liberal ship, focusing on his economic successes and experience, or will Election 2007 go down in the history books - finally - as Howard’s End?”

Kevin Rudd’s description: “Kevin Rudd has led the Labor party to stratospheric heights, and every poll shows him accomplishing the impossible - achieving a massive 16 seat swing to form government. But he’s facing the best campaigner of his generation in Prime Minister John Howard. With 39 days to go, will he become the next Prime Minister of Australia?”
