In the last 36 days, the two leaders have clocked up more than a combined 102,178km in travel distance.

That’s the equivalent of 2421 marathons, 2,035,720 Olympic-sized swimming pools, or 7,568,740 standard buses lined up back to back.

Between the two, Dutton has traveled the farther distance, covering 54,229km compared to Albanese’s 47,557km, while the prime minister has made stops in 23 different places, as opposed to the opposition leader’s 17.

Instead, he’s visited 15 petrol stations across the country, promoting a promised temporary cut to the fuel excise, while Albanese’s prop of choice has been his Medicare card as Labor strives to fight the election on health.
