Coolum Hub – Data to Drive Politics

The results from 2025 Federal Election were finalised in June last year.
Will Data drive elections in 2028?
Explore insights from 2025. What will 2028 bring.
You must have been a supporter of Fairfax Matters or Francine for Fairfax to participate.
You will be thinking of supporting a community independent in 2028.

Reviewing election results or looking at census data for 2028, there is a 5 step process

1. Get the data.
2. Do analysis and present.
3. Get insights from that data visualisation.
4. Decide strategy.
5. Take action to support that strategy.

This 1 hour online workshop will consider the following.

The Past

How did Francine do as an independent in 2025

• How much did she spend on how many votes? 
• Where did her supporters live?
• How many primary votes do you need to be a contender?
• How did other candidates fare?
• What are the lessons from around Australia?

Part 2 - Going Forward

• What are the characteristics of votes in Fairfax?
• How old? Property ownership? Mortgage stress?
• Would you like to join a group once a month to explore in more detail planning for 2028?

If you can't make it, we will run this again over the next few weeks for the Coolum Hub and surrounds, Nambour and Hinterland, and a new Eumundi hub.
