Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and rival Tony Abbott started the race off their campaign to two big voting populations, the Muslim and the Chinese Community.

Mr Rudd started off with a half-hour interview in Mandarin with Chinese newspapers as confirmed by his staff with The Australian.

His campaign effort to woo the Chinese community will be beneficial for the Australian Labor Party to unseat Liberal John Alexander in Bennelong.

Bennelong consists 17 per cent of the north western's Sydney electorate.

Mr Rudd's wooing campaign was held with different tactics to ensure that all targeted voters keep their interest and would answer yes to him and the Labor Party. For the younger voters, Labor launches social media campaigns. For the older voters, Labor held community-based campaign summoning all opinion leaders in key regions to promote meaningful messages to the people.

After the Chinese, Mr Rudd then went to West Ryde where he woos Korean migrants and endorsing Labor's candidate Jason Yat-sen Li.

Mr Rudd brought the Koreans good news that they can be proud and happy about. He said that the Korean language was already added by the Australian government to the list of priority languages to be studied and taught in school.

To woo the Muslim voters, Mr Rudd agreed to be recorded in a video celebrating the end of Ramadan. He then agreed to a boardroom lunch and an interview with mummy blogger Mia Freedman.

However, it seemed like that Mr Abbott was keener to spend more personal time wooing the Muslims than the time spend by Mr Rudd. He went courting them as early as Monday, August 5. There is significant Muslim voting populations in western and southwestern Sydney with margins of less that 3 per cent.

According to a report from OnIslam&Newspapers, Mr Abbott had personally met with leaders of western Sydney's Muslim community during an iftar meal in the holy month of Ramadan. He spoke before a dinner hosted by Auburn Council in celebration of iftar for western Sydney's Muslim community.

There were 100 Muslims who attended the dinner, including major Australian Muslim leaders. The Grand Mufti of Australia, Ibrahim Abu Mohammad was also there listening to Mr Abbott. There were also representatives from Muslim countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, India and Lebanon.

"[Our] multiculturalism is a beacon of hope to a troubled and divided world. People from all around the four corners of this earth have come to this country of ours to be welcomed by us and to build a better life in freedom, for themselves and their children. Proper infrastructure for western Sydney is the muscle and sinew of a working economy," Mr Abbott said in his speech.

The Muslim audience applauded Mr Abbott's speech. They were specifically impressed with Mr Abbott's plan of investing in better infrastructure for Sydney's west and starting construction on the WestConnex motorway as soon as elected.

"This is the first night of the campaign. For him to come and eat a meal with us shows the significance of the Muslim community," Abdullah Aksu, an Auburn businessman of Turkish heritage said.
