The big story of this election is the collapse of the Coalition vote, as voters around the country backed parties and candidates with strong climate and integrity policies. What happened at the election and what comes next in the Senate? Join the ACT Independent Senate candidate David Pocock, who looks set to secure the second Senate seat in the ACT. If he is successful, it would be the first time since the introduction of proportional representation in 1949 that one of the major parties is entirely locked out of a jurisdiction.
This was recorded on 25th May 2022 and things may have changed since recording.
