The ABC’s Chief Election Analyst Emeritus Antony Green joins Democracy Sausage to discuss a career spent covering elections.
Antony Green has covered more than 90 elections. How does this recent one compare to ones in the past?
What does the ‘broad church’ of the Liberal party mean these days?
And will Labor ever be vulnerable to an ‘orange’ independent vote?
On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Antony Green joins Professor Mark Kenny and Dr Marija Taflaga to talk elections past, present and future.

This week, Mark and Marija are joined by Oscar Kaspi-Crutchett, research organiser at the Victorian Trades Hall Council and author of the new report Antidote.
Ed Coper, author of Angertainment, joins Mark and Marija to unpack how social media algorithms have weaponised our ancient neurochemistry, why the internet's promise of a global village became a gladiatorial arena, and whether anyone can still win politics by appealing to hope.
Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender join Mark and Marija from Parliament House to discuss the launch of Community Strong Australia, the logic (and the irony) behind it, and whether teal voters will buy a party that insists it isn't one.
