What gains has the freedom movement made politically in 2022?

By Michael Viljoen - posted Monday, 9 January 2023


Animal Justice: 1.5% of the vote, 1 seat

Others: 6.5% of the vote.

These 'Others' include Derryn Hinch's Justice Party 1.5%, Socialists 1.5%, Reason Party 1.25%. etc.

Comparing percentages of the vote to the previous 2018 election upper house voting,

The eight 'freedom friendly' parties increased 7%

Legalise Cannabis increased 4%

The Greens increased 1%

Liberal/National stayed the same

Animal Justice dropped 1%

Derryn Hinch dropped 2%

Labor dropped 6%

My conclusions for the freedom movement concerning the 2022 Victorian state election:

The 'freedom friendly' parties made some good gains, with a notable 7% increase in the vote among this collective group. This is reflective of the passion and energy we saw among those who took to the streets last summer, and they have made some noticeable change in the state's voting pattern.
