The 2023 Saren general election was held on November 25, 2023. The snap election was called after the Tael Government lost a self-called Motion of No Confidence on September 6, 2023. With both the Government and the Opposition failing to then produce a constructive vote of confidence, Tael advised the President to call a snap election on November 25, 2023.
This came after the Tael Government lost it's functional majority across July and August of 2023 after the defection of multiple Labor backbenchers to the crossbench.
The dominant issues of the election surrounded trust, integrity and stability in government, climate change and pathways of addressing it, and to a lesser extent housing, inflation and cost of living.
The Tael Government was re-elected in an upset having been expected to lose when the election was initially called.
