Don't those donkey votes mean it just goes to the majority ?

I'm no tertiary qualified political expert...

A donkey vote is numbering the boxes in the order they appear on the ballot. So basically your vote is determined by which of the major parties is drawn higher on the ballot.

There you go, I thought it was just following the handouts they give you

As always seems to be the case, this forum returns to analingus as the solution.

If it’s good enough for someone with a tertiary education, then I guess it’s good enough for me.

Is another translation required?

Pass.

It hurts a little to read some of the responses on here of late, things like Morrison has always been a sharks supporter at the top of the list, because it shows that this marketing man (read snake oil salesman) has hoodwinked so many in the community. Worse still, the original poster of that rubbish is more politically literate than most and others just agreed. Then there is the huge fallacy that they are for workers, with many hoodwinked again.

Morrison is a fake, from his cosplay photo opportunities, pretend Christian values and right through to his statements on economic management. In practice of it’s teachings, even as an atheist that grew up in a religious household, I am ten times the Christian that the disgusting human he is. Descriptions of his being menacing wallpaper, racist, controlling bully, liar and horrible, horrible person are just a few descriptions from those within his own party

The major parties are very different, one works for the greater good and the other uses wedge issues to divide us, including racism that Morrison used to get his candidacy in the first place. The Murdoch print media were complicit in that, just as they are to this very day in controlling most of the day's news which gets regurgitated elsewhere, including questioning on the ABC of such BS.

Question for those that state that the ABC has a bias towards the Labor party, do you actually watch the news programs and please name the presenters that you claim do?

My voting is simple, I just check the candidate against a list, is he/she:
- pro nuclear;
- pro water transfer;
- pro bush/forrest control
- pro he new dams;
- against vaxx mandate, ausweis, arbeitskarte;
- against banning of the HCQ/Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective),

Well, you can always go to Truth Social. Wait, no you can’t 🤣

What are your thoughts on the lower regions of the lower Murray/Darling and the effects that cropping of cotton, rice, almonds and other water intensive yields have on it and please expand on water transfer?

So you have the choice of One Nation or Palmer United Party...

Good luck with that!

That is like a choice of do you want to be shot or stabbed to death

Relax,

Either way they are all Muppets under foreign control.

Thank you NSW Treasurer Matt Kean for your following words on the Morrison pick of Katherine Deves for Warringah, including; “This is not the 1950s. This is not an intolerant society. These kinds of horrendous views are not OK"

Sadly though, the PM chose for this seat in overriding the local Liberal party membership, one that Stegall will romp back in regardless and not another of the Sydney options where there may be more bigots, but not enough to save his captain's pick.

I truly hope the independents all but wipe the floor with their Liberal opponents in the southern state, with the possible exception of Zimmerman. Nah, maybe him too, as he had failed to properly represent his electorate right up until scuppering additional rights for some in stopping the Religious Discrimination Bill.

It is way past time that both houses of parliament and as a result, the country, is no longer beholden to a few Queensland MPs and Senators running roughshod over the vast majority.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Literally, as the removal of our government in 1975 by one country's servant, which was almost certainly also at the behest of the other powerful nation across the Pacific clearly shows.

I understand cognitive bias plays a big role in this, but it is interesting that one major party is against an anti-corruption commission while the other is all for an anti-corruption commission. That should say a lot...

The governing party also scuppered the only legislation that was put to parliament.

This is without doubt the nation's most corrupt government in my lifetime and that includes Eddie Obeid's NSW one.

How's this for cultured: lick me where I shit, I couldn't give a **** what you think you deluded fool.
