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.

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.

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.

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.
