00:00We're at Cabramatta Public School in Western Sydney.
00:05You should be able to see behind me the Prime Minister getting the sort of heroes welcome
00:09that really any politician gets when they bring a bit of energy to a primary school
00:13like this.
00:14Fowler is actually quite a critical seat for Labor.
00:17This is pretty pivotal in this election.
00:18Labor lost this seat three years ago to an Independent trying to rebuild its brand in
00:23this part of Western Sydney.
00:25I think we might be heading off to revisit to a classroom now, but it's been, yeah, quite
00:29the reception certainly.
00:31As I mentioned before, Fowler is absolutely vital for Labor.
00:34They lost this seat to the Independent Dai Lee three years ago.
00:37They're running a new candidate this time around.
00:39Last time it was Christina Keneally who wasn't from this part of the world.
00:42Tu Li is Labor's candidate this time, trying to regain this seat to make the inroads it
00:47needs to in Western Sydney.
00:49The Liberals are certainly chasing plenty of other seats around Western Sydney as well,
00:53so trying to regain Fowler could be an important buffer for Labor as it tries to hang on to
00:58government.
00:59Anthony Albanese staying in Western Sydney, addressing a forum later on this morning on
01:03the future of Western Sydney.
01:04So Labor trying to make that pitch to this part of the world to continue their trust
01:09in Labor.
01:10There are plenty of safe Labor seats out here.
01:12As I mentioned, the Liberals do want to make inroads.
01:13They want to regain this seat of Fowler.
01:16So the Prime Minister making his pitch to Western Sydney a bit later on today.
