Weak economy

Hung parliament

Gridlock

How to Vote

More “independents” make a hung parliament more likely - where Anthony Albanese would need to do deals with independents and the Greens in order to govern.

They would pull him in different directions with their competing demands.

This would mean gridlock and risks harmful economic policies.

In uncertain times, the last thing Australia needs is the chaos of a hung parliament.

A Labor-Independent-Greens hung parliament?

The "independents" won't reveal their policies, but what do the greens want...

An inheritance tax?

Abolish the private health rebate?

Cut defence spending
in half?

Slash private school funding?
