Albo & ALP gonna lose because they've

DONE NOTHING

[-] Salvo@aussie.zone 2 points 12 hours ago

The Shit Party and the Shit-Lite Party are both too regressive. Albo is not being progressive but Dutton would be even worse, dragging us kicking and screaming into a second Great Depression.

We need a viable third Party.

Can everyone remember in the 1990s when the Democrats held the balance of power and were able to Keep the Bastards Honest?

The Greens aren’t an option, because they are too head-in-the-clouds to be able to maintain the economy.

To be fair, they at least want to end negative gearing, capital gains discount and ensure companies pay their fair share of tax.

There's better options but I'll still preference them over the major parties

But for every fiscally responsible policy they put out there, there is some other policy that is completely unworkable.

Still, unworkable policies are still better than no policy.

And if the Greens were in power, they would probably attract the more progressive and fiscally responsible politicians into their ranks, which would result in more practical policies.

Edit: I do vote for the Greens first in every election (after any other special interest parties that are more appealing) and the LNP last (ahead of any fascist parties that are less appealing).

The more Green preferences ahead of the major Party’s, the better.

Outsider looking in, what the fuck Australia, why did you almost do a whole ass ministry of truth? Doesn't half your government deny climate change?

Not even our first rodeo. Both of our major parties are abhorrent on digital rights.

Yes but you don't understand. It's all to save the children, man

spoiler/s

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children

Jokes aside, I don't understand what's happening at all. The gambling ad restrictions are a good thing, imo, but the misinformation bill was just going to cause trouble, as is this ridiculous social media age verification hoo haa they're trying to implement
