We’re back at the polls on May 3 (or as early as April 22 for early voting) and with the primary vote share of the major parties continuing to fall and a minority government being a strong possibility, Australia’s minor parties are once again going to play a very important role. It can be hard […]

As support for the major parties continues to fall, we are seeing more and more independent candidates run for election at all levels of government. The success of the Voices moment and the Teal independents is contributing to this as well. Thankfully most of the cookers were able to set aside their differences and consolidate […]
We’re back for a second time in 2022 because there’s a State Election in Victoria. It’s the first election for the lockdown state since the pandemic started and it’s gonna be messy as hell. There’s a record-breaking 23 parties registered – so look forward to trying to cram a poster-sized ballot into the voting booth […]
Hello again, friends. Another election, another minor party explanation post. This time we’re doing everyone who’s standing for election to the Senate from Victoria.

Comparing local government candidates can be difficult because, in comparison to state or federal elections, it’s harder to find differences between the policies of each candidate – if they have policies at all. Take a look at the ALP’s ‘policy’ platform for Darebin as an example — – The health of our community,– Securing jobs […]
Cool and normal. New South Wales state politics are cooked at the best of times, and this election is shaping up to be a close one that will be very difficult to call. It’s quite likely that whichever of the major parties comes out ahead will have to form a minority government, so the cross-bench […]

I think each state has their share of both the underappreciated and the unhinged, but NSW has really brought it out this year. There are some people here who are worth checking out if […]
