Perhaps a third of voters will back minor parties and independent candidates in the upcoming election. Few of those will win seats. But a new set of climate-focused independents stands a chance
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskTheir frustrations are not as loud as Britain’s or America’s , but that does not make their politics healthy. In 2019 only a quarter of Australians said they trusted “people in government”, down from 43% in 2007, according to polling by the Australian National University . Turnout should be plummeting. But voting in Australia is compulsory.
Still, Mr Morrison’s coalition seems unlikely to return for a fourth term. It has been in government since 2013, and unless opinion polls are spectacularly wrong, Australians want it gone. One national count predicts a swing against the coalition of more than 5%, enough to lose 13 seats in the House of Representatives, where it has a majority of one. No government has had a majority in the Senate, which is elected on a system of proportional representation, for years.
Labor, for its part, is “packed with politicians who stuffed up in its last government”, argues John Wanna of. It lost the election of 2019 after proposing reforms to taxes on housing and investment. Its promises now are less controversial. Mr Albanese wants cheaper child care, better nursing homes and a commission to investigate federal corruption. On climate change, he would set a goal to slash emissions by 43% by 2030, from 2005 levels—a big improvement on the coalition’s 26-28%.
