Gerard Renick of the People First Party Thank all those who supported his campaign. Currently, the Australian electoral Commission tally room shows that he now has 35.26% of the quota necessary for him to win one of the 6 Senate seats being contested in this half-Senate election. To be returned as Senator, he needs to gain another 64.74% of the total of Queensland Senate votes through the allocation of preferences from candidates with fewer votes than him. This will be difficult, but not impossible. Regardless of whether or not he retains his Senate seat, as he explains in the embeeded tweet below, Gerard Rennick is resolved to continue to fight for the policies he has been fighting for since he was elected to the Senate in July 2019.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our first election campaign.

It was a great effort.
For a party that was only registered 5 months ago, to get the votes we did was an exceptional result.

Gerard Rennick: People First to become large grassroots party
In the following interview with Scott Challen, Senator Gerard Rennick explains how he plans to help build the People First Party into a mass grassroots party with a branch in each state. He expects that the People First Party will be able to win 12 Senate seats at the next federal election in 2025. He plans to produce regular podcasts to help motivate his audience to help bring this about.
My own thoughts: Whilst it is important for this grassroots movement bring about electoral success for the People First Party in 2028, it should also in the meantime act to support grassroots political campaigns against all the harm the that the federal and state governments are doing to this country right now. It should particularly oppose the importation of large numbers of migrants from India for the purpose of voting Albanese back into in office at the next election whilst making housing in Australia even less affordable.
As Australian housing costs set to rocket even higher, Indian students and migration agents celebrate Labor victory
