Episode Details

Melbourne’s election rules are getting a major overhaul—businesses and non-resident property owners no longer get automatic voting rights, shifting power to actual residents. With over half the previous voter roll made up of these absentee voters, this change could dramatically reshape local politics, especially benefiting younger, resident-focused parties like the Greens. Though group voting tickets are gone and transparency is improved, key relics remain—including businesses still getting two votes—a compromise that leaves some campaigners frustrated but acknowledges real progress in making elections more locally representative.
