The 2022 federal election saw a historic loss for the Coalition and a historic shift towards independent candidates like Allegra Spender in Sydney, Zoe Daniel in Melbourne and Kate Chaney in Perth. Elected on promises to fight climate change, make progress on gender issues and advocate for more integrity in politics, the Teals flipped some of the wealthiest and safest Liberal seats. But as the cost of living became the most pressing issue for voters in 2023, the Teals’ views on social inequality started to be put to the test. Today, we’re looking back on this interview between Ange McCormack and Rachel Withers, on the seven Teal independents and whether they can address inequality.(This episode was first published in July 2023.)Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and InstagramGuest: Contributing writer for The Monthly, Rachel Withers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
