Australian Politics Betting at Unibet

Politics is undoubtedly one of the more exciting arenas for betters, and there’s no shortage of action Down Under. With the federal election held every three years, Australian politics offers ample opportunity for political punters. 

There are also eight state elections to fit on the political calendar. These typically take place every four years, though sometimes more regularly. The frequency of elections makes Australian politics fertile ground for betters, both at home and abroad.

Different betting options for Australian politics

Besides the vast number of elections, Australian politics proves popular because of its accessibility. Most punters have a background understanding of the political landscape in Australia. For those who don’t, it’s easy to get the big picture.

On one hand, you have the centre-left Australian Labor Party, the oldest political party in Australia which has governed federally for around one third of the time since federation. The other camp is the centre-right Liberal Party, which has governed in a coalition with the National Party regularly since 1946.

Labor and the Coalition have exchanged the keys to Parliament since the Liberal Party’s inception in 1944, but there are also several smaller parties in the mix if you feel like backing an underdog. These include the Greens and the One Nation Party.

The elections don’t stop there: each party also battles it out at state level every three to four years. Often, the public’s voting intention varies widely from state to state, which opens the door to different options and even more chances to win from a betting perspective.
