Postgraduate winner @phoebehayman.bsky.social ooks at the demography of the people involved in the independent ‘teal’ campaigns of 2022 that challenged insider politics. tinyurl.com/y6f36fzy
Screenshot of journal article. Title: Political Outsiders? A Study of “Teal” Independent Campaign Demographics in the 2022 Australian Federal Election. Author: Phoebe Hayman. Abstract: The 2022 “teal” independents’ campaigns were a movement of political outsiders challenging the power of the established parties. Their campaigns mobilised candidates, campaigners and volunteers in the thousands across Australia, but little is known of who these participants were. Analysing the gender, class and ethnicity of campaign participants, this article considers whether the independent campaigns should be understood as a departure from or replication of the elite demographics of political parties. This study employs mixed methodologies, drawing on interview data from candidates, campaigners and volunteers (N = 55) and a survey of highly engaged volunteers (N = 270) to explore who joined independent campaigns and how recruitment processes influenced the gender, class and ethnicity of participants. This article argues that, despite efforts to attract participants from diverse backgrounds, the independent campaigns largely mirrored the demographics of political participants within party campaigns—except for their achievements in recruiting women across participant types. Recruitment via the social networks of existing participants was a contributing factor, reinforcing demographic disparities. This study contributes new knowledge of the teal independents movement and highlights the role of informal and social processes in shaping the gender, class and ethnicity of political participants and representatives, inside and outside of party campaigns.

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...
theconversation.com
The Liberals’ women problem may seem intractable, but here’s what they could learn from the Teals
As the election campaign wraps up, the impression of the Liberals being out of touch with women persists, but some solutions can be found in their political rivals.

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.
