Honest Government Ad | Minority Government

The Australien Government and the Opposition have made an ad about minority governments, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. 👉 Some Not-Shit Minor Parties and Independents running in the 2025 election: https://linktr.ee/notshitcandidates 👋 This list is just a guide: we encourage you to do your own research into the candidates running in your electorates. Ultimately, the important thing is to understand how preferential voting works: so you rank everyone in order of your preference and number every box in the green (House of Reps) ballot. Vote how you like: if you feel Labor is the best bet, put them 1st. If you think it's the Greens, given them your 1. Or if you're fortunate enough to vote in one of the 30 or so seats where a Community Independent is running, then vote 1 for them. Whatever order you put them in, the key thing is to put all of those options *above* the Libs/Nats candidate on your ballot. That way your vote will flow to the Community Indy/Greens/Labor candidates, before it ever gets to the Lib/Nats. 👉 Help us keep Governments honest: 🔹 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/thejuicemedia 🔹 Buy a tshirt: https://shop.thejuicemedia.com 🔹 Other options: https://www.thejuicemedia.com/support 👉 FURTHER READING: 🔹 ABC, “Crossbenchers say hung parliament would have to negotiate bill by bill” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-28/crossbench-independents-minority-government-bill-negotiate/104952366 🔹 CheekMedia explains how Minority Governments work: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHHXdmlz-Lx/?igsh=MWhpYXgyMDQwMnZ1Mw== 🔹 The Australia Institute, “How Parliaments Share Power”: https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/how-parliaments-share-power-fact-sheet/ 🔹 Richard Denniss & Ebony Bennett, ”Who's afraid of minority government?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3i09wUP3jQ 🔹 Tony Windsor, David Pocock and Amy Remeikis, “Pros and Cons of Minority Government” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlqKLpzQ9gk 🔹 Guardian, “Was Julia Gillard the most productive prime minister in Australia's history?” https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/jun/28/australia-productive-prime-minister 🔹 Countries with minority governments (as at March 2025): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_government#List_of_current_minority_governments 🔹 Climate Action Tracker: Australia https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/australia/ 👉 CREDITS 🔹 Produced by Patrons of The Juice Media 🔹 Written by Giordano for The Juice Media 🔹 Featuring Liv Rian: https://www.instagram.com/livrian_ 🔹 Featuring Zoë Amanda Wilson: https://www.instagram.com/zoeamandawilson 🔹 Voice by Lucy 🔹 Music by: https://audiojungle.net/item/uplifting-inspirational-corporate-pop/27062471 🔹 Outro music: Mozart x Eric Parsons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6JBBuNy8Oo 👉 FIND US ALSO ON 🔹 Bluesky 🦋 https://bsky.app/profile/thejuicemedia.bsky.social 🔹 Mastodon 🐘 https://mastodon.social/@thejuicemedia 🔹 Insta https://www.instagram.com/thejuicemedia 🔹 FB https://www.facebook.com/thejuicemedia 🔹 Twitter/X https://twitter.com/thejuicemedia 🔹 Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@thejuicemedia
