Russell Crowe has argued that the rise of independent politicians
are better representing the views of everyday Australians, unlike
the two-party-dominated system in the United States.
The Oscar-winning actor made the claim in response to podcast host Joe Rogan complaining that Americans were 'completely trapped in the two-party
system'.
'We have the same sort of situation, but we have a very interesting
thing that's happening in Australia at the moment, which is the rise of independents,' Crowe countered.
'The main parties have to deal with the fact those independents have to bring a non-party-line series
of points to the argument.
'And it's working well. It's working for us. In that it's
making both of the main parties re-examine who
they are and what they stand for.
Rogan mused 'we could use that here, for sure', highlighting how US politics is completely
dominated by the Democrat and Republican parties.
There are other parties, including the Green, Libertarian, and
Reform parties, but these receive vanishingly few votes in comparison.
Independent candidates can also stand and have been known to perform well on occasion.
The Oscar-winning actor (pictured ) made the observation in response to podcast host Joe Rogan who complained that Americans were 'completely trapped in the
two-party system'
Joe Rogan (pictured) is one of the most powerful media figures in the world
Civil rights opponent George Wallace ran a third-party campaign in the 1968 US election which saw him garner 10 million votes and take five southern states,
while another disaffected Democrat, Strom Thurmond, in 1948 carried four southern states on a similarly racist platform but with only
a million votes.
The nephew of a president, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
was poised to get on the ballot in dozens of states as an independent candidate before
he pulled out and backed Republican Donald Trump.
He has now been appointed Health secretary in Trump's incoming cabinet.
Trump himself had previously belonged to the Reform Party.
The former New York property developer had even considered running for president in the 2000 election under the banner of that movement - formed
by former third-party presidential candidate Ross Perot, who won 19
per cent of the popular vote in 1992 but gained no electoral college votes.
Perot was the most popular minority party candidate since former Republican president Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 ran as
the Bull Moose Party candidate - carrying six states including California and coming second ahead of
Republican William Taft.
Australia has seen a rise in recent years of nominally independent politicians who have taken votes away from
the two traditional parties of Labor and the Liberal-National coalition
This situation is helped by a strong Green party who now
have 12 senators and four members in the House of Representatives.
Zali Steggall (pictured) became the first 'teal' independent to achieve
huge success when she ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat in Sydney's northern beaches at the 2019 election
Meanwhile, independent candidates who run on strong climate platforms but are fiscally conservative have been labelled 'teal' candidates.
This is because they have combined their 'green' views on climate with the traditional
'blue' approach of the centre-right Liberal Party on economics.
Zali Steggall became the first teal independent to achieve huge success when she ousted
former prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat in Sydney's northern beaches at the 2019 election.
In similar fashion, Monique Ryan won the traditionally Liberal seat from former treasurer Josh Frydenberg
at the 2022 election.
She was one of seven teals elected, swelling the lower house crossbench to 16, with this tally
including the four Greens, three conservative
independents and progressives Andrew Wilkie and Helen Haines.
Crowe's three-hour conversation with Rogan, which was first aired in August, has recently resurfaced
in teal social media adverts.
They are being pushed by Melbourne philanthropist Simon Holmes à Court, who founded Climate 200,
which has given campaign funding to some teal candidates.
Not all the 12 independents elected in 2022 were teals, however.
Maverick independent Bob Katter has just celebrated 50 years in parliament (pictured:
being congratulated by prime minister Anthony Albanese)
Dai Lee, a former state Liberal candidate, defeated former Labor frontbencher and former NSW Labor premier Kristina
Keneally in the south-west Sydney seat of Fowler.
And, of course, maverick Bob Katter who has just celebrated
50 years in parliament, spending 20 years as a Queensland state MP before serving the past three decades in federal parliament as the MP for the regional far north Queensland electorate of Kennedy.
Among his many mad-hat policies over the years include a
bid to teach school kids how to fire rifles and a desire to build a missile shield
across northern Australia.
The House of Representatives crossbench grew to 17 in late 2022 when Andrew Gee
quit the Nationals in protest at its opposition to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
The Greens and independents make up 11 per cent of the 151-member
lower house - the highest proportion of non major party MPs
since Federation in 1901.
