Think your vote doesn't matter? Watch this!

There's no such thing as a safe seat anymore. And that's a good thing!

As more and more Australians vote for candidates from outside the major parties, the idea of 'safe' or 'bellwether' seats is increasingly a thing of the past.

So when you cast your vote in this election, just know that every vote counts.
