The Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and the National Library of Australia invites you to join us for the launch of Landslide, published by ANU Press and edited by Marian Sawer, Jill Sheppard, and John Warhurst.

Landslide examines the unexpected landslide victory for the Labor Party in the 2025 Australian federal election; the Liberal Party’s worst ever result and the continued rise of the non‑major‑party vote. Australia’s leading election analysts explore what contributed to this outcome, including campaign effectiveness, changing demography, increased cultural and linguistic diversity, and external factors such as the ‘Trump effect’.

To mark the publication of Landslide, veteran journalist Nick Bryant will be in conversation with Associate Professor Jill Sheppard in a discussion not to be missed!
