Join us on Thursday 8 May, for a panel discussion examining the results of the 2025 Australian Federal Election. Bringing together some of the country’s leading scholars in political science, this event offers a considered and data-driven exploration of the forces that shaped this year’s outcome.

Through a combination of data analysis, historical context, and political insight, our panel will unpack key themes such as voter behaviour, campaign dynamics, shifting political narratives, and the broader social and economic factors at play.

This discussion is designed not only to illuminate the “what” of the election results, but to explore the deeper “why”—offering a space to reflect on the evolving relationship between citizens, institutions, and democracy in Australia.

The panel will conclude with an interactive Q&A session, allowing attendees to engage directly with the speakers and contribute to the conversation.

All are welcome—whether you're a student of politics, a curious observer, or someone simply looking to understand the implications of this moment in Australian public life.

This event will be held in person only, and light refreshments will be provided upon arrival.
