2025 federal election guide now live

405

The Australian federal election will be held at some point in the first half of 2025, and I have now completed my guide to all 150 electorates.

I published guides for 50 seats in mid-2023, but electorates in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia had to wait for the conclusion of redistributions. These redistributions concluded around the time of the Queensland election, and I’ve now finished all of these guides.

We are also part way through a minor redistribution of the two federal electorates in the Northern Territory. The likely outcome seems certain, so I have updated those two seat guides to reflect the proposed boundaries.

The guide also features profiles for the eight Senate contests.

Most of the guide is an exclusive to Tally Room members – those who donate $5 or more per month via Patreon. I’m going to be increasing the price for membership from $5 to $8 per month from the start of January, but if you join now you can lock in the lower price going forward.

I have unlocked a handful of profiles as a free sample. I’d already unlocked Dickson, Lyons and the Queensland Senate race, but now I’ve added the new seat of Bullwinkel, along with Gilmore and Macnamara.

You can find links to each profile from the guide front page. There is an alphabetical seat list, a list by state, a pendulum and a map. I’ve also posted the map below:

One final note: it will be a big ongoing job to track candidate lists. For now I haven’t added any candidates to the new 100 profiles, but I will be doing an update of my list over the course of the next week, and they’ll be added to profiles then.

  1. John – If you were the person with the choice of when to call the event, it seems likely you would consider every possible date. Why would you not. Nothing wrong with that. He’s very likely considered going sooner but there was never an announcement, so it’s irrelevant.

    “hes just been trying to keep people guessing.” He’s really not. He’s said multiple times, he’s looking to go full term and we’re just about there. The only people guessing are people on internet forums and newspaper article writers based on “sources”. South Gippsland newspaper had the scoop until they didn’t.

    The Budget remains scheduled for delivery in 3 weeks – that’s fine. If the event is called before then, that’s fine too.

  2. I mean, if this was any Liberal PM sitting in the PM’s chair, John would regard all this as a masterful, Machiavellian ploy, a gambit played to perfection, frustrating the opposition and keeping the punditry at large guessing. But since it’s a Labor PM, all allocades go out the door from John. Instead, he’ll tell you its a sign of weakness by a desperate leader. Let’s check in in three years when Dutton has the same decision to make.

  3. Really Mick Q?

    What pray would be unpopular about reducing public servants?

    And the rest of us are being forced to return to work, why not public servants?

  4. Regarding the election date, there’s talk from different sections, including the mainstream media, that it’ll be 12 April. Let’s see if news breaks on Sunday. ABC reports that Cyclone Alfred (that’s heading for Southeast QLD and northern NSW) could force Albo to delay the election.
