      We have been in trouble for decades, now we are well and truly f*cked. It seems like 95% of electoral options are right wing, short sighted, self involved, backwards pricks.

      I wish I could trust Australian voters to wake the f up and make the country a better place, instead of burning it the ground.

        Yeah it’s hard to. I get the feeling a few are swinging green and independent though.

        Buckle up though. It’s going to get worse.

            Honestly? We’re probably better off trying to fight it and vote it out where we can.

            I don’t think there’s any thing better anywhere else. Maybe a couple of Euro countries with spine like Spain.

            But yeah I hear it

              I’m in victoria, we have an election this year.

              I haven’t voted for any of right wingers in decades… but the majority of Australian have, while pretending that one of them is left of centre.

              NZ will be better again, if they don’t completely fuck the election like last time, but the clock will be ticking there too, duopolies are not the solution.

                Yeah I’m worried about that Victoria election ngl. I expect One Nation to go for its Senate and I’m hoping this rumour that Labor is willing to sacrifice it to prove a point is bullshit.

                  The fake parties that popped up the last couple of years in Victoria (supposedly no longer a problem), were an indication of where Auspol is heading. These parasites are too easily able to manipulate self interested people.

                  one nation will probably be promising half price fuel, and alcohol next.

                    Funny you should mention fuel. JBP used to have a fuel subsidy in Queensland. While Queenslanders were crossing the border to hit the pokies, New South Welshmen were crossing it to fill the tank

                    Yeah wouldn’t surprise me to see it
