I don't know if there's any truth to a rumour I heard that non Australian citizens who are residents were allowed to vote in this recent federal election.

Indy, as usual you are full of it. You and ttbn should be counting your lucky stars with a Labor win. The Noalition if they had won, planned to cut your aged welfare payments, Labor would never do that.

There he goes again. Instead of commenting on what is said he attacks the poster telling him he is “full of it”, then insults the poster plus someone who is not even involved, bringing up “welfare payments”, about which he knows absolutely nothing.

There is no doubt that Paul 1405 is a raving lunatic, barely able to read and write, too ignorant to realise his ignorance.

Indyvidual,

I haven't heard that non-citizens voted, so I can't comment. But, the way Australia is these days, I wouldn't be surprised. Remember the recent report about The Berk encouraging people to sign up for citizenship before they were entitled to?

If it is more than a rumour that people did vote illegally - somehow got their names on the roll - most Australians would not care, having given the Albanese government a massive increase in seats, despite what they have done to Australia and Australians.

Labor did not deserve to win, and the Liberals did deserve to lose. All we have to look forward to is chaos and more shouting from barking-mad wackjobs like Paul 1405.

Following up on the well-earned loss of the Liberal Party, there is no evidence that they have learned from it, if the best they can come up with in the way of “leaders” are Ley, Taylor and Wilson.

Even the Nationals, who did much better and still remain conservative(ish) have shot themselves in the foot by not taking the opportunity to replace the lacklustre Littleproud with Canavan.

With what used to be the Right floundering and leaderless, Australia is heading in the opposite direction to similar countries towards dreary and dangerous Socialism that will make the first term of the Albanese government look good.

ttbn,
I happen to know a resident of a number of years who is in line to get Citizenship later this year.
That person was allowed to vote. The question is, how many such "voters" were there ? Whilst I have no objection to a long termer already approved, I would object to a mass of newbies doing so. Just think of the rumoured Million that arrived since Albo has been at the helm. One can be forgiven to suspect vote buying. An official explanation from this Government wouldn't be too much to ask from the Electoral Commission on behalf of the public.

Indy, ttbn,

Trying a 2020 Trumpy are we, questioning the legitimacy of the election and Labor's landside victory; "a rumour I (Indy) heard that non Australian citizens who are residents were allowed to vote in this recent federal election" The only rumour would be from far right losers, like yourselves. Indy, where did you hear that rumour, need we ask, otherwise I'll say you made it up, so therefore you are full of it!

"AAP FactCheck - New migrants who have arrived in Australia under the Albanese government are not responsible for growth in the current electoral roll, contrary to claims made on social media. Data shows the majority of new enrolments are young people who can now vote after turning 18. Citizenship laws mean that any migrants who arrived after the last election, in May 2022, are not eligible to vote,"

ttbn, say what you like about me, the fact is your posts are generally loaded with negativity, crying in your beer, moaning about your poor self. The reason you "don't give a toss" is because you selfishly only consider yourself, and no one else.
