Auslan90 | What is a Minority Government? | Federal Election 2025

This is Auslan90 – Deep Dive, produced by Deaf Connect, supported by SBS.

In addition to our Daily news, Deaf Connect produces ‘deep dive’ videos which provide more detail and context to the biggest stories of the week.

Today’s deep dive focuses on What is a Minority Government?

With polls indicating a tight race between the major parties and more votes going to minor parties and independents, there’s a significant possibility that no single party will secure a majority in the House of Representatives.

The chance of a minority government or hung parliament is looking more and more likely. But how do we unpack these important political scenarios and what are their implications for the nation’s future?

In this video we’ll delve into what a hung parliament means, how minority governments are formed, and the potential impacts on governance and policy-making in Australia.

Watch the video to find out more.

This project is funded by the Federal Government Department of Social Services Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) program.
