The balance of power seems to be shifting in Australian politics. 

There was a shock U-turn in the polls ahead of the election, with Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party suddenly pulling out in front. 

It now seems likely the party will secure a second term. 

Independent Member for Warringah, Zali Steggall told Ryan Bridge confidence in major parties keeps decreasing, and there鈥檚 an increased interest in independent candidates as a result.
