Meet The Perfect Candidate
Here to shift our national conversation from short-term problems to long-term solutions, The Perfect Candidate is powered by insights gathered from over 125,000 everyday Australians.
Driven by data, not bias.
From the coffee we drink to the people we date, humans all carry unconscious bias. Our leaders are no different – the decisions they make aren’t always objective. The Perfect Candidate is different.
Shaped entirely by the data of real Australians, The Perfect Candidate is a true reflection of the nation’s top concerns. They might not be a real person, but they are a voice of the people. Of you, your loved ones, your community and your nation.
Empowering Australians
Great leaders don’t wield their power, they share it. And that’s what makes The Perfect Candidate so perfect. By sharing the data they’ve gathered, they’re helping people like you hold our leaders accountable. After all, knowledge is power and when shared, that power multiplies.
Together, we can #changetheconversation and create the future we want.
The Australian Futures Project
The Perfect Candidate is powered by the Australian Futures Project. Dedicated to ending short-termism in Australia, we envision a nation where all parts of society demand and work constructively toward decisions and actions that balance the immediate and long-term needs of the country.
Political, not partisan.
The Australian Futures Project is not-for-profit and non-partisan. While our initiatives are politically-focused, we’re not affiliated to any parties. We’re solely focused on Australia’s future and we know that change won’t come from our politicians and leaders alone. The lack of action on important long-term issues is holding Australia back and we all have a role to play. Together, we can change the conversation.
