00:00What do you think are the most remarkable elements of the Australian electoral system?

00:04So what have we got? We've got compulsory voting.

00:07Preferential voting.

00:08The secret ballot.

00:09The democracy sausage.

00:11The Australian Electoral Commission.

00:13As an organisation, we aim to be not in the headlines.

00:16We aim to be boring.

00:17You need a word to your best guy.

00:20The Prime Minister is expected to call an election.

00:23It's a funny sort of relationship between pressmen and politicians.

00:25He could just go down to the Prime Minister's office and say,

00:28I've got this story that's going to kill you.

00:30What do you say about it?

00:31We're seeing the complete fragmentation of the media.

00:34I now don't have to have a conversation with a senior journalist in order to get a story up.

00:41I have my own social media platforms.

00:43And beats Amy Thiefen dead.

00:46Influencers were invited to yesterday's media lock-up.

00:48It feels quite elitist to be so in shock and horrified that influencers would be allowed anywhere near Parliament House.

00:57There's always been disruptors.

00:59And now there's disruptors to the disruptors.

01:01It seems like that's the end of the game.

01:03In Denmark, we have a lot of parties.

01:05We just like parties.

01:06There's been a remarkable shift away from the major parties and towards independents and minor parties.

01:12There was some talk about, well, do we do a four-candidate preferred or a five-candidate preferred?

01:16This could be a big win for Labor.

01:18Voters are seeing more and more the power in their vote.

01:21Our democratic system has excluded Aboriginal people for so long.

01:25Modern day Australia looks very different to what it did 30 years ago.
