Chilling lessons for the world from Australia’s election

Policy Online carries a link (6.7.16) to a Lowy Institute article, commenting on some of the wider implications of the federal election result, in particular the growth in support for minor, fringe or ‘protest’ parties and candidates.

‘Brexit has highlighted the political ground-swell against globalization, immigration and the neoliberal economic agenda. These controversies were low-profile issues in Australia’s so-far inconclusive July 2 general election, but they may be a factor in the success already of a surprising number of independent candidates, especially in the Senate, or Upper House, of Australian parliament.’
