Australians went to the polls on Saturday May 21, 2022 to vote in their new government for the next 3 years in the Federal Election.
“Labor’s path to victory has been unlike any election in history”…”This is reflected in the primary vote count, which will see Labor form government with just around a third of first-preference votes”. “We’ve never seen support for the major parties drop so low at a federal level before. The nearest comparison would be One Nation‘s breakthrough in Queensland in 1998.” [3]
The final count won’t be in for at least 13 days to ensure postal votes are counted. [1, 2]
