People are at the very least starting to vote 3rd parties more and more. And thank Christ we have the option. (Though, single-member lower house electorates are pretty shite and favour the larger parties).

People are still just a bit rusted on to the known larger parties, looking into other parties is actual effort.

How people can vote for these idiots beggars belief

I LOVE they had to add the authorisation at the end because of electoral laws haha

Icing on the cringe cake

I expect it’s at the behest of the oil industry anyway, gotta keep consumption as high as possible.

Brought to you by my conspiracy theory, which seems very plausible given oil companies’ history.

I’ve been rather turned off by Anzac Day growing up, since it’s felt more and more the narrative has turned to “mateship” and how heroic the ANZACs were, instead of the reality which is that Australians were sent into the meat grinder by the British Empire (which in fairness, I was taught at school), and that war is hell, and we ought to do everything we possibly can to avoid it.

That all being said, excluding more modern veterans is total bullshit and anyone suggesting modern veterans are any less deserving are being dicks*. And I say this as someone very critical of Australia’s involvement in America’s imperialist invasions.

It’s not our soldiers fault they were sent. They’re the ones who actually had to endure the trauma of war, not Howard, who sent them.

Really hope all veterans in good standing can take part in any march they desire.

*Criticising the military in general, and specific soldiers/units who engaged in war crimes is fair game, in my opinion.

We’re on the fast lane? Why yes, this is why we’ve seen emergency levels of funding into storage?

Oh wait, no we haven’t. We’re still approving new coal mines.

Shouldn’t the headline be: “We could be on the fast track to 100% renewables”?

Next thing you’re gonna be telling us is to bring back public servant building surveyors as the only building surveyors, to stop the conflict of interest that the builder paying the inspector directly causes.

Bloody madness, clearly the private market is more efficient /s

Our housing regs are a joke since they’re not even well supervised

Thanks to Trump’s far-right power grab, we may retain our centre-left government.

Dutton just has a face that makes you think of fascism (in my opinion). The harry potter films have cemented that image in many people’s minds, I would guess.

Thanks Trump haha

The exception here being teal independents who vote with the Libs, as the colour name suggests, they’re not for workers. The only difference is that they believe in climate change and are not as socially conservative.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately many of the ones I want to find are “no longer listed” and the internet archive didn’t have any snapshots.
