Duration: 60 minutes
The story of the 2022 Federal Election is unprecedented in Australian politics, with massive defections among Liberal voters frustrated by inaction on climate change to the emergent Teal bloc. With Labor forming government with the lowest primary vote in recent history, the landscape of Australian politics appears to have changed irrevocably, party loyalty superseded by the demands of informed, passionate voters. In Queensland, there was an inner-city ‘greenslide’. Paddy Manning (author of the insightful Saturday Paper piece ‘Inside Queensland’s Green wave’) and Tim Dunlop (author of a revealing book about the significance of the independents movement) discuss the paradigm shift in Australian politics and what this unusually exciting election bodes for the future. Supported by the Saturday Paper.
