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.
