If there is still any sense left in the Australian electorate, Labor should lose because of Albanese’s disgusting, lying, anti-Semitic, woke, hard left, incompetent and contemptuous regime. If the awful creature is rewarded for his incompetence and bastardry over the last three years, the next three years will be Hell.

And don't forget Wong's 'inevitably' of the Voice.

Albanese says 'no', but he lies about everything.

Watch this for evidence of MSM bias.

I will never ever, ever, ever vote for a Liberal National Party Coalition after their disgusting and cruel treatment of asylum seekers and those effected by the outrageous Robodebt. Never ever forget what cruelty they have willfully inflicted on those less fortunate.

As a person who supports progressive politics, I voted Greens one Labor two, the sitting LMP member on a 3.4% margin is a nice bloke, spoken to him many times, and probably doesn't deserve to lose his job, and I don't think he will.

The Big two parties offer little in the way of nation building and long term future planning, Labor is a little better than the Coalition, but only marginally. The areas of health, education, social welfare, housing and infrastructure should be a focus. If a government claims it can build nuclear power plants, then surely it can build homes for people. On militarism, laughingly called defence, in my opinion we should be a nonaligned nation, for 50 years I've believed we cannot trust America and the latest developments should be a wakeup call to that fact. ANZAS, AUKUS, nuk subs, is just another load of nonsense. Foreign aid, I support a doubling of foreign aid, particularly to our Pacific neighbors.

What's there to say about why we vote, Graham?

- I vote because it is my duty to try and minimise the harm done by politicians, since that harm is presumably actioned in my name.

Ideally there would be no politicians, hence no harm done and no need to vote. Alternately, if we had an overt dictatorship which doesn't claim to do whatever it does presumably in my name or for my benefit, then we could also save ourselves that nuisance called "elections", that does not make a difference anyway.

So between elections I never care about political parties and I never even know in advance which parties/candidates I will be voting for next, but once I receive my ballot papers in the mail, the action begins:

First I list the areas of government-harm I am most concerned about, then allocate maximum points for each area: negative for supporting that specific harm, positive for proposing to eliminate that harm, zero for saying nothing about it. Then I open up the principles and policies web-pages of all parties on my ballot-papers and mark the parties accordingly on each issue, then add up the points and list my preferences accordingly.

This time around, it so happened that my highest score was given to a party I have not heard of before - "Australian Citizens Party", and so they topped my preference list.

Next elections - who knows?!
