#90% of eligible voters did vote in the 2022 federal election. Non voters are a smaller minority than even the Greens voters#

Sorry to be the one to point this out, but voting is mandatory. 90% of the population are complying to a law which mandates they must vote or pay a penalty; that’s all it proves.
90% compliance is not a reliable figure to judge the intentions of people given a legal choice to opt out. It means nothing.

Voting should not be mandatory, its an infringement on civil liberties.

Back on topic: Another one bites the dust in Whyalla - looks like Trump's tariffs if imposed won't have much effect on these industries which are dropping like flies on a dead kangaroo. Check out Chris Kenny last night:

Indyvidual .

Keep supporting the vandals in suits with your vote mate. You be a good little boy now.
Goodbye Queensland bush lands. You’ll get what you ask for, as evidenced by your posted Utube.

Even the prehistoric natives on Boganville fought a life and death struggle against similar vandalism on their island. Kudos to them; terrorists all apparently!

Australia, through Multiculturalism, has lost all sense of true worth and appreciation for what we once were!
If we are incapable of resisting the Devils in suits responsible for the environmental destruction shown on your video, we deserve to join the Gazans thrown out of their birthright, unwanted and despised as punishment.

Your vote encourages this wanton destruction. Suffer you fools!

diver dan,
You should have noticed that that video was made two years ago. Let's hope the new Government will work towards sorting out this inexcusable vandalism !
Paul1405 might know more about it seeing he's a alternative energy disciple ! He might be able to tell us how these outfits got the go ahead & money to do this !

I agree voting should not be compulsory when some of those lining up probably couldn't tell you the name of the PM or opposition leader - BUT you can bet that the woke nutters and green dream climate believers such as Extinction Rebellion as well as unions like the CFMEU, the toxic Greens and Teals will be out in force while many who are less ardent Coalition supporters would probably rather go fishing. A better outcome would be first past the post polls such as in the US and eliminate preferential voting which gives us some of the useless senators and MPs we have now. Oh, and make proper ID checks compulsory to stop the old Labor mantra, "vote early, vote often!"

As predicted. Will Bowen and Albo fork out more billions for this green hydrogen fantasy?

Reality check, please! Tariffs are the least of our worries, just an extra one - if they eventuate.
