The rise of independents and minor parties means that Labor and the Coalition can no longer take any race for granted.
It’s said that ‘disunity is death’ in Australian politics, but – as several major party politicians found out in the 2022 election – falling in behind an unpopular policy agenda can be pretty dangerous for your career as well. On this episode of Follow the Money, Australia Institute Executive Director Richard Denniss joins Ebony Bennett to discuss the big changes taking place in Australian politics and how they might influence the next election.
This discussion was recorded on Tuesday 16 July 2024 and things may have changed since recording.
