The State of our Democracy
Politics in the Pub hosts a public discussion on the health of Australian democracy. Informal voting in Australian politics is on the rise, with this year's federal election returning the highest rates of invalid ballot papers in nearly 30 years. Simultaneously, our last election showed the highest support for minor parties and independents, with nearly a quarter of Australians allocating their first preference to parties other than Labor and the Coalition. Voters of all ages are expressing a growing disillusionment with Australian politics and a deep scepticism of politicians at all levels of government. What's going on? Find out what the insiders and experts think by listening to the year's final Politics in the Pub. Entitled “The State of Our Democracy: Donkey Votes, Minor Parties and Three Word Slogans”, panellists included ALP State Secretary Evan Moorhead, GetUp's QLD Coordinator Ellen Roberts, Greens Councillor Jonathan Sri and the H.R. Nicoll's Society's John Slater. This Q&A style discussion was hosted by acclaimed ABC political reporter Chris O'Brien.
