hey shadowminister,

It will be interesting to see the results of
tomorrow's debate on Channel 9, at 8.30pm when
Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese go
head-to-head. We shall see who is more convincing,
capable, and believable. And whop we can trust to
do the job.

As they always do, the media will say that Albo 'won' no matter how stupid he makes himself look. Viewers will decide according to who they want to win the election (personal bias). I will not take any notice; will probably forget to watch. If you don't know enough about both men now, their policies and abilities - or lack thereof - you will not learn anything from a schoolboy debate. If you do not already know who you will vote for, you really do not deserve a vote. You have had two terms of a Morrison government to make judgements on; the same time watching the opposition perform, and their criticism of the government, and how they would do things differently. If two blokes talking BS a couple of weeks prior to the election is important to your decision, you have left it too late. You are one of the far too many Australians who think that politicians need only be of concern to you at election time.

Whilst in government, the ONLY two portfolios Albo held were Infrastructure and Broadband & Communications. Mickey Mouse stuff. And don't we all remember the hideously broadband stuffup!

Of course we can't (and shouldn't ) speak on behalf
of anybody else and how they are going to vote. We
can only speak on behalf of ourselves and what
matters to us and our families. People make choices
for various different reasons. Some simply support
their parties (like in football). To others policies
matter. Others vote the way their families have done
for generations. Still others buy the slogans and spin.
Others identify with the personalities of the party
leaders (like Pauline Hanson). And so it goes.

The next couple of weeks are going to be interesting
and probably - particularly nasty - as things heat up.
I have made up my mind as to how I shall be voting (and why).
For those who are still undecided - the debate could
clarify things. In any case - the debate is worth
watching. Especially because this time it's going to be
along traditional lines - with questions being asked
by experienced political journalists.
It just may answer any lingering questions. Or not.
It's worth taking the risk. After all -

Nothing ventured - nothing gained.

In my electorate Albo or Morrison do not appear on the ballot paper. I would like to know a lot more about the local candidates who will represent me. Even party candidates vary in their abilities and values, so are they willing to cross the floor on Bills to agree or disagree on values that represent my values?
