In 15 days, Australians will head to their local polling station and vote in the 46th federal Parliament of Australia. Preferential voting is fairly rare globally and it reflects the number and diversity of smaller parties that participate in our elections, yet few Australian voters truly understand how the system works. In today’s podcast, Charlie […]
Lib #Indi candidate in deep #ClimateChange conflict: @jansant reports on @steveforindi #IndiVotes
May 5, 2019
Indi Liberal Party candidate Steve Martin’s belief in the science behind human-induced climate change is in serious doubt after giving a series of conflicting answers to questions on the issue as the federal election approaches.

Pesec the only sensible choice to revive #ACTVotes: @gazzakent comments on @anthonypesec #SenateVotes campaign
May 4, 2019
Many people have asked me why as a lifelong, loyal Liberal, I am chairing the campaign of Anthony Pesec, an Independent candidate for the Australian Senate in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The main role of any political party is to preselect top-quality candidates and present them to the public. The ultimate goal must be […]

Will the real @Barnaby_Joyce please show up: @NewEnglandLady4 reports on #NewEnglandVotes
May 2, 2019
When federal Member for New England Barnaby Joyce cheated on his wife Natalie, many of his supporters maintained that it was a personal matter and not newsworthy. If the only issue with Barnaby was that he had an extramarital affair, I would agree — people make mistakes — but the enduring anger isn’t simply about […]
Having ‘the chat’ with rusted-ons, and other mysteries: @davelennonabc reports on #MalleeVotes with @malleeray
May 2, 2019
There’s no question that for any Independent hoping to dislodge a Nat from a safe seat you have to get some of the rusted-ons to rust off. The theory is a lot easier than the practice. There are a few announcements coming on that front from the @malleeray camp but at this stage I can […]
