A strong economy enables not only our national plans to be realised but it enables the local plans we have right across the country to be realised. Australians know that for their aspirations to be realised, and those aspirations are many, I talk about them on the weekend, those aspirations are to raise your kids, to buy a home, to say for your retirement.

This is a major achievement in life. All of these are supported, underwritten, by living in a country that has a strong economy and a government that knows how to manage money.

The services that you rely on to be guaranteed and they can give you that confidence and make people just that little bit less anxious, particularly as they are growing older in their years.

We are facing a lot of pressures on our economy, there are a lot of moving parts, the impact of the war in Europe, the lagging effects of the pandemic and how it has disrupted economy is all around the world.

The continuing impacts of Covid itself in countries like China, which is seeing supply lives disrupted which adds to costs. The difficulties of shipping all around the world, even the shortage of pallets for putting goods on that I moved around the country.

All of these things are impacting on prices and the cost of living. So as we go into this next decade, how a country manages its economy, how a government manages its finances is going to have a big impact on the citizens of our country.

Well, time to buy myself a home with all this strong economy *opens wallet* ah, nevertheless.

McGowan has offered teachers 2.5% per year, for the next two years.

Needless to say I'm voting no. Give me minimum CPI (3.5%) or :fuckoff: even the RBA wants to see wages go up so they can modify interest rates.

It's actually these days a plurality of Liberal 1 votes (because it's increasingly expanded to take in richer suburbs to the east and south-east) and whether it goes to the Greens or Labor depends on preference flows, which - I think? - makes it unique in the country.

the other prominent Greens target like that is Griffith, which the Greens have a much better shot at winning this election

Brisbane and Higgins are Liberal-held but could easily end up being won by the Greens or Labor in the same fashion

no way are they any chance in Cooper this election, Labor had the sense to run someone from the left there to replace Feeney and it paid off for them. seats where Labor leads on primaries like Cooper and Wills are the most difficult for them at the moment (due to Lib preferences going to Labor) unless the sitting member has a scandal or something. the Greens don't even think those are a chance this election. will probably get closer when Labor is in government but even then they're less likely prospects than the 3-way contest seats

"On the 2PP+ metric, Labor’s increase to 49% is up two points in the past fortnight, with the Coalition dropping to 45% and the undecided vote down to just 6%. Essential’s voting intention figures express the head-to-head metric of the major party contest as two-party preferred “plus”, rather than the standard two-party preferred measure. It has a 3% margin of error."

Haha, they also have no loving idea what they are talking about.

There's a reason that long-running political parties aren't featured in the constitution. The ideal for a parliament is that they are all independents, and then a majority come together on shared ideals to form a government.

Hell, in the 19th century there was plenty of discussion that the office of Prime Minister itself was against the principles of the system.
