In short:

The federal election will be called tomorrow for May 3, the ABC has confirmed.

It triggers a five-week campaign to convince voters whether Labor under Anthony Albanese or the Coalition under Peter Dutton is most fit to lead the country.

What's next?

The prime minister will head to government house tomorrow morning to call the election.

You're a fool, only the animal justice party has what it takes to handle that

They’re a good option although I can’t tell if you really care about animal rights or you’re a fool who would like to splinter the 3rd biggest party into smaller options. The thing about the environment is that it is a meta-issue, all other issues cease to matter if the environment becomes unliveable.

Luckily, splintering is generally-speaking not an issue, because of how our voting system works.

Technically

Technically speaking, if you splintered so much that the Greens fell behind on 1st preference votes, they could be eliminated early. But in that case it would probably have to be because a different left-wing environment-focused party (maybe AJP) did better than them, and Greens votes would probably go there after elimination.
