Teal voters at 2022 federal election were largely 'tactical', not disaffected Liberals, says a new Australian National University study

The seven "teal" independents elected to federal parliament in May were swept in largely with the support of "tactical" Labor and Greens supporters, according to a new election study.

The Australian National University's (ANU) 2022 Election Study found near-record support for independent and minor parties, with almost one in three voters opting for a candidate not from Labor or the Coalition.
