I did a reverse "you'll be conservative when you're older!!" and voted for Dubya term 2 back when I turned 18 or whenever it was. Was pretty solidly on the socialist side of the fence by the time I moved down here before Obama even got voted in.

Still unclear if labor are even bothering to run a candidate in my seat yet. Primary last election was something obnoxious over a majority for LNP, 10 ONP, 7 LAB, 5 GRN so it wouldn't surprise me if they werent although spiting the greens voters that would probably trend Labor (I'd hope) would be on brand Did KAP poo poo the bed for registration or something in Qld? Usually their stuff is everywhere out here even if they don't pull massive numbers

I see the cashless welfare card is being rolled out by the budget allocating money to be shovelled into someone's mates' cashless welfare card company.

All proceeds will be put toward expenses related to our COVID-safe practices at the demonstration on the 10 Oct, other protest materials, and funding legal challenges to fines.

seems unlikely unless berejiklian suddenly has an appetite for going full culture war on trans issues which the libs have largely avoided doing so far thankfully but i don't think she's said anything about it yet. will likely get the support of a bunch of coalition backbenchers though

Not sure who is authorising them but there's some very scaremongering radio ads telling everyone to put Labor last because they're allowing women to abort their full term babies. Ah, Queensland.

When in doubt, it's a Palmer shadow organisation. Was on Facebook the other day and Facebook ads showed me a top page called Number One Australia Videos or something. It was basically animals doing funny poo poo except the audio had been replaced by Clive Palmer talking about how bad Labor is.

Hey auspol. I have never voted in a council election before so I’m looking for some guidance. Just the sort of question I’d normally ask at the office but there’s no office any more: How the gently caress do you work out who to vote for in these things? I’m in Brimbank, Horseshoe Bend ward, we have 10 independent candidates and a 300 word statement to go on and flyers in the mail. However one of the independents is using Labor red for her mailer and another is using Liberal blue, so I have to check out their facebooks and websites and see other people asking the same questions with answers like “well I’m a member of the party but I’m not running as a Labor candidate”. And the Lib guy has a bunch of news articles about how he’s been caught up in state level party bullshit. While googling candidates I also found this wild website that calls out people who are potentially Labor or Greens in an effort to “defeat dan”. It run by Ken Phillips, who is an IPA guy who is trying to get the govt prosecuted under WH&S laws over the second wave/quarantine fuckup. https://defeatdan.selfemployedaustralia.com.au/

TESC will win in a landslide leaving you wallowing in inconsequential rage, now in full knowledge of your impotence against the 40 000 carat block of ignorance, selfishness and incompetence that is the Australian populace. So, You can save your self a bunch of time and grief and just donkey vote or vote informal. These clowns only run a city council, after all, and in general councils suck billy goat scrotum, even when run by the most politically pure candidate imaginable. P died after she crashed a car that she had taken from youth workers that lived with her in a residential care unit. She was travelling at speeds of more than 140km/h. The crash occurred a short time after police attempted to get her to pull over, but police did not pursue the car because they were aware she was 13. She had been involved in child protection since she was born and had been in 14 separate out-of-home care placements since she was two.

That would be a useful resource to find out who to vote for. I mean, you do the opposite of what it says and you get better results.

yeah you just have to google the candidates and go from there. or the quick tick and flick guide we came up with in the discord the other day based on candidate statements : rule out anyone who is a small business owner, lawyer, accountant, engineer, anyone overtly religious, anyone who says council should just focus on the three R's (rates, roads and rubbish) or anyone who says they'll promise to deliver X service or stop Y development (they wont be able to deliver on either). after ruling candidates out, see who is left and then number those however you think best. then go back and number all the excluded ones in order from least worst to worst.

oh also, it's almost a guarantee the first person listed on the ballot will get elected too as too many people just number 1 - x from top to bottom.

We had 3 council candidates in our bit of Camberwell, I voted for the only one that didn't put keeping down rates as their top priority. Rich homeowners around here can afford it

Thanks all. I think I’m just going to pick the couple who seem like they might be normal and then random the rest. Fun fact, Brimbank didn’t have a council from 2009 - 2016 after they were all sacked and administrators were appointed.

He will still be constrained by the fear of impeachment and all the normal checks and balances of the US system, plus the normal loss of authority a president experiences in his second term. a lot of unproven analysis right here
