00:00From the moment this election was called four weeks ago, Anzac Day was always circled as
00:07a no-go for campaigning.
00:09That was the plan and both leaders stuck to it, while also honouring those who fought,
00:14fallen and served in war and peace these last 110 years.

00:24again made good the oath to Anzacs that their name liveth forevermore.

00:41A World War II spitfire did the same, but by then Anthony Albanese was back in his office.
00:48Lest we forget.
00:50Dawn's early light was rain laden in Brisbane, later clearing over Peter Dutton's electorate.
00:57I call the Honourable Peter Dutton.
00:59Formalities over, Dixon's diggers longed for informalities to begin.
01:04Maybe a drink later on or do you think you'd be convinced?

01:13The spinner came in on a whistle stop in Townsville.

01:24The Anzac pause is over.
01:26Pre-poll voting resumes tomorrow for the roughly 16 million people who haven't yet cast their
01:32ballots.
01:33And for those who haven't thought about what's on offer, this final week brings constant
01:37appeals to capture their attention as well as their votes.
01:42The Anzac pause is over, and about the final week brings captivating emotions to capture their attention.
01:48And with the final week brings back some echoes of Tomas.
01:50We're holding the bell rings so we can't wait to get an arrival.
01:52We're holding the bell rings so we can see a bit, and we're going to bond with him.
01:56We're going to take a moment.
01:57We're going to watch the ball rings so we're going to be able to deploy our attention to this.
02:00We're going to be able to do our seats.
02:01We're going to wait here to join the rest and see how we're on.
02:03We're going to stay there yet.
