Google launches Youtube channel for the Federal Election

Google has launched its official Youtube channel for the Federal Election: Australia votes.

The announcement:

Today, Google is launching a hub for political videos from the 2013 federal election campaign at youtube.com/australiavotes. Curating videos from media, political parties and the YouTube community, the channel is a one-stop shop for Australian voters to watch, share and discuss the videos that are shaping the campaign.

“Two weeks into the campaign, we’ve already had millions of views of election-related videos on YouTube,” said Google spokesperson Johnny Luu. “Australians are increasingly coming online to watch political speeches, interviews, campaign ads and, of course, the occasional gaffe.”
