Journal Article
The major parties lock down their cartel
2014
Overview
On Sep 7, 2013, Australians voted for minor and micro party candidates in greater numbers than they had ever done before. This was particularly pronounced in Senate voting, where 23% of the electorate opted to vote for candidates and parties other than the 'big three' -- the Coalition, Labor and the Greens. The result of these voting patterns has been the election of a substantial number of crossbench senators. Three Palmer United Party senators, one Family First senator, one Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party senator and one Liberal Democratic Party senator took seats in the new senate from July 1. Every party that wins seats in the senate is assisted by preference flows. At the 2013 federal election, the Liberal/National Coalition received 37.7% of the primary vote. Optional preferential voting is the single greatest reform that could be made to resolve many of the issues surrounding the federal election in 2013.
