- Reposted by Phoebe HaymanIt was a pleasure to join, reconnect with and meet new members of the @apsa-pop.bsky.social community this week and present papers on political systems and extreme polarisation (with Narelle Miragliotta) and the Greensland phenomenon in Brisbane (with @phoebehayman.bsky.social and Stewart Jackson).
- "Insiders and Outsiders" was wonderful to be a part of and offers a well-developed discussion of elites in Australia, particularly in politics. Thanks again to @sybiln.bsky.social & @chriswallace.bsky.social for their work as special editors for @jas-jozstudies.bsky.social

- Reposted by Phoebe HaymanRob and I have a new(ish) article in Commonwealth & Comparative Politics. In the paper we discuss the extent to which the first term Albanese Labor Government reshaped Australia's political economy. It's open access too!

- 🚨 New piece in @aunz.theconversation.com from Amy Nethery and I: In this article, we consider 'How did Tim Wilson turn the tide in Goldstein?'. The answer: by becoming more like the teal campaign that defeated him in 2022. Read it in full here theconversation.com/liberal-part...

- Some really great musings from Mark Riboldi here. He presents a really insightful set of ideas, questions and points on who is represented in Australian politics, in what ways, and how they get there - I'm very happy to have played a small role in sparking them!
- Some more election related thoughts - this time about representation, accountability and power. www.markriboldi.com.au/2025/05/02/w... (inspired by a reading of @phoebehayman.bsky.social's great new article in AJPS about the Teal wave in 2022).
- The Liberal Party's women problem isn't new, yet the party has made little progress. My @aunz.theconversation.com article draws on findings about how women were recruited to independent campaigns to consider how the Liberal Party could attract more women. theconversation.com/the-liberals...

- The boom in early voting has consequences for campaign timing and strategies Today I spoke with the ABC about how major, minor and independent candidates are adapting their campaigns to this new normal in different ways www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
- Ever wondered how much data political parties have on you or why you receive so many texts from candidates during elections? I chatted to ABC Canberra about data and campaigns yesterday. Check it out here, from about 8 minutes in: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

- 🚨 My article 'Political Outsiders? A Study of “Teal” Independent Campaign Demographics in the 2022 Australian Federal Election' has been published as part of an upcoming special issue of @jas-jozstudies.bsky.social edited by @chriswallace.bsky.social and Sybil Nolan
- In this study, I ask just how different independent campaign participants are from the sorts of people who participate in political parties? I explore who joined the campaigns and how recruitment processes shaped the gender, class and ethnicity of volunteers, campaigners and candidates.
- The findings show that independents effectively and organically recruited through social networks, and although this resulted in women's participation across the campaigns, it also led to demographic disparities in class and ethnicity.

- After last night's leaders debate, I joined David Astley and speechwriter Joel Deane to unpack the leader's performances on ABC Radio Melbourne and talk about the role of debates in political campaigning. Check it out here, from around the 2:25:00 mark. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
- Both leaders were very on message throughout, speaking to the issues they see as theirs. It wasn't always captivating TV, but it was a great opportunity to examine Albanese and Dutton's language as they attempt to frame the election, key issues such as housing, and each other.

- Reposted by Phoebe HaymanMedia coverage of @phoebehayman.bsky.social @bspiesbutcher.bsky.social and my research on the ‘party-like’ behaviour of the Climate200-backed independents www.crikey.com.au/2024/12/19/f...
- This is more likely about where and in what circumstances independents are electable. The electorates outlined here almost all ran independents in 2022, and these campaigns will build on this existing support and campaign infrastructure.
- In 2022, independents were more likely to succeed in electorates where a big independent campaign had run in 2019. It makes mobilising volunteers and voters easier, @climate200.bsky.social use this support as a prerequisite for funding to prove community support and electability.
- Before there can be funding, there needs to be a candidate and a campaign. Independents have been more likely to run against Liberal incumbents for decades now - a pattern that predates the emergence of Climate 200.
- They're right to do so too. Our recent research shows that organised independents running against Libs do better across Australian elections - part of a broader realignment in Australian politics. doi.org/10.1080/1036...
- Reposted by Phoebe HaymanPeople are increasingly looking for better political representation - with "independence" being an appealing value that the major parties aren't delivering. @phoebehayman.bsky.social @bspiesbutcher.bsky.social and I show this is part of a decades long trend www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
