Sky News segment: Voters to have say on big issues

A group of undecided voters from a key western Sydney seat will provide a new insight into the federal election campaign on a new TV segment.

They are a group of undecided voters from a key western Sydney seat, who will provide a new insight into the federal election campaign.

The focus group, from various backgrounds, have been independently selected by polling company YouGov Galaxy, to front a new weekly Sky News segment called Australia Decides: The Jury.

The New South Wales voters, who have previously voted for different political parties, all live in the seat of Reid but have yet to decide which party will get their vote next month.

Among the group are Sandy Sciberras, 49, of Rookwood, Serkan Uyanik, 44, of Seston, Necmiye Gozebe, 48, of Granville, Lili Guirguis, 36, Ming Hei Leung, 34, both of Wentworth Point, and Jake Kowaliw, 27, of Merrylands.

Married mother-of-one Mrs Sciberras, who previously voted Labour, said education was her key area of concern as her son, 11, heads into high school.

Small businessman Mr Uyanik, a father-of-three who has also voted for the ALP, said more infrastructure spending on major projects was his main concern.

Former mortgage broker Ms Gozebe, a mother-of-three who is in cancer remission, said better transport and health policies would get her vote after she previously voted for the Greens.

Education, the environment and health policies are some of the key issues for these voters. Picture: Tim Hunter.

Ms Guirguis, a primary schoolteacher for the past 15 years who has previously voted Liberal, said education was her main focus.

Mr Leung, a civil engineer known as David who voted for Labour at the last election, said the environment and climate change was what worried him the most.

And for father-of-one Mr Kowaliw, a forklift driver who has voted Liberal, better job opportunities for younger people and improved aged care was both urgently needed.

Each Thursday leading up to election day, Sky News Political Editor David Speers will track the voters and discuss the issues driving their decisions on who should lead the country.

“If you’ve ever wondered how a focus group works, this will be a real insight,” Mr Speers said. “Real voters offering their unfiltered views on each week of the campaign.”
