Today’s the day! After weeks of campaigning, political candidates will finally go head-to-head as Australia’s voters hand in their ballots.

With the Federal Election drawing nearer, Woroni interviewed Dr Tjanara Goreng Goreng, former public servant, academic, unionist and Greens candidate for the Senate. We asked Dr Goreng Goreng about her opinions on climate action, systemic racism and sacred leadership.

With the federal election race well under way, Woroni sat down with former ANU academic and Independent candidate for the ACT Senate Kim Rubenstein. We discussed Kim’s approach to a federal ICAC, climate action plan, and how her background in academia informs her candidacy.

With a federal election called for May 21st, voters only have a short period of time before heading to the polls. Whether you are voting for the first time, or need to update your info since moving to Canberra, Woroni has put together a guide for all your enrolment needs.

As part of our election coverage, Woroni sat down with Tim Hollo, The Greens’ candidate for the electorate of Canberra, to discuss his campaign, particularly regarding issues related to students and the climate.

On Tuesday the Morrison-Joyce government handed down the last budget of this current government. Although the budget was filled with many promises, students remained largely absent. Throughout his speech, Treasurer Josh Frydenburg focused on sustaining Australia’s economy.
