Greens Leader Richard Di Natale says the growth of his party and independents continues with each election because Australians are "sick and tired of the old parties".
Senator Di Natale's claim is far-fetched. Experts contacted by Fact Check referred to opinion polls of young voters, acknowledging this data can lack reliability, mainly because of small sample sizes. Additionally, pollsters do not commonly use the under 30 age category to break down data, instead opting for categories including 18 to 24 and 18 to 34. Polling data from Newspoll, Ipsos, Roy Morgan, and Essential Media show the Greens are not the most popular party among young voters, although some polls put the Greens at a close second to Labor.
