>Vote.
Compulsory voting with good preference system already in place which means we have a ~90-97% participation rate.
>Protest - particularly direct action
Agree, but increasing using/changing laws to reduce this (declaring environment activists as "terror" groups).
>Challenge them
Not even sure what this means exactly but more people are organizing support for independents/minority parties over the major two. This combined with the ability to form minority governments I think is the best chance for progressive change, but a lot of money is being spent to keep the status quo.
