2020～2021年，澳大利亚执政联盟和反对党内部都进行了一些调整，为即将到来的联邦大选做准备。莫里森两次对内阁进行改组，试图修复政府声誉、重拾选民信任；阿尔巴尼斯也对反对党影子内阁进行重大改组，以维护党内团结、彰显工党“战斗力”。在政策层面，新冠肺炎疫情的影响贯穿过去的一整年，围绕疫情出台的防疫措施和经济政策成为主要的国内政策议题，同时，气候政策也是政党和选民关注的焦点。在2020～2021年的几场主要选举活动中，执政联盟仍占据一定优势。
From 2020 to 2021，adjustments have been made in the ruling Coalition and within the Opposition party in preparation for the upcoming federal election. Morrison has reshuffled his cabinet twice in an attempt to repair the government’s reputation and regain voters’trust. Albanese has also launched a major reshuffle of the opposition shadow cabinet to maintain party unity and demonstrate the “fighting strength” of the Labor Party. In policy terms，with the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact lasting throughout the year，prevention measures and economic policies surrounding the epidemic has become the major domestic policy agenda. Meanwhile，climate policy is also a focus to the parties and voters. Judging from the voters’ approval ratings to the parties and to Morrison and Albanese，as well as several major election campaigns in 2020 and 2021，the Coalition still have an edge and the Labor’s chances of winning the campaign are slim.
