MODERATORS
If anyone is stupid enough to vote libs (or even worse, clive), honestly, it's an indication we need to spend more on education.
Even the crappiest Independents are more likely to be better.
Also, make sure you show up to vote with a list of who you want to vote for. There are a lot of shit parties out there with misleading names
Or, rather, better education. I obviously can't speak for everyone's schooling experience but most people I've talked to all had a pretty sterile one, where the most political thing you'd hear is a teacher subtly saying Whitlam was great for arts and education. Yes, there's a trip to Canberra and a bit about how the electoral system works, but that's extremely neutral for obvious reasons.
Now, political and religious neutrality in schools has its benefits (look to some places in the US where some regions are biased so hard they're outright lying) but at the same time, we don't learn about important history. Honestly, as interesting as it is, substitute out ancient history for our country's own history, including post-WWII history.
