Is It Just Us, Or Is This Election Campaign Weird?

We are just a couple of days into the 2022 Federal election campaign, but already we have witnessed an incredible amount of gaffes, in-fighting and misinformation, but is this normal or is it all a bit... weird? The Quicky speaks to two experts in Federal politics to find our whether the rest of the lead up to the ballot on May 21st will involve so much backstabbing and ugliness, or if the party leaders might finally pull rank and get their colleagues under control.
