About this listen

Surprise, Electioncast is back! In this bonus episode, Crystal Andrews and associate editor Cam Wilson dissect the campaign antics of right-wing lobby group Advance, who spent millions in advertising against progressive MPs like the Greens’ Max Chandler-Mather and independent Zoe Daniel.


Advance is celebrating the loss of key Greens seats as proof of its influence, but how much of an impact did it really have? We analyse the group’s strategy and spend against the election result.


Read all of Cam’s analysis of the Advance campaign:

  • How Advance’s anti-Greens campaign backfired and helped elect a progressive Parliament
  • Two sexual assault accusers say right-wing group Advance ‘weaponised’ their claims without their consent
  • Anti-vaccine ‘freedom movement’ stars actively organising for Liberal-backed Advance group
