Which is why the allegedly “major parties” need to be low on our preferences & we elect local representatives based on the policies they support & their voting record or voting record of their party.
STOP CLAIMING ITS A TWO HORSE RACE! Oh, and Clive’s fart-trumpet is last/2nd last, right?
At the last federal election I did put one independent below ALP and LIBs because they ran on a TERF policy. Every other Green independent, Teal I put above ALP and LNP.
Here in America it works to tax second homes and vacation homes through rich people’s bleeding noses - disincentives a main driver of homelessness, opening homes to primary owners, while funding resources to help the very lowest who are displaced.
It's not tax! Australia is a sovereign currency issuer. It has no fiscal constraint. It's a matter of deciding where to spend and on what. So any austerity measures are always a discretionary policy choice.
Not even tax. They just need enough people and resources to do the thing. No amount of money will build a (thing) if there are no people available to build a (thing). And if you have enough people capable of building a (thing), they will do it if you give them the cash to live. Simple.

Australia has abundant natural wealth, minerals, agriculture, services, Tech and some manufacturing.
But we have tunnel vision thieves running the Nation on behalf of the lobby groups.

It’s not difficult, it’s not unprecedented.
It’s the woeful politicians of the duopoly.

Especially Albo and Dutton with 53 years + of parliament between them.
They are the exact opposite of what a progressive Australia needs.
And if we all got that wealth.
The duopoly are just the dog’s balls that follow them.
There is a scenario where Voldemort loses #Dickson to Ali or Ellie but the Liberals win more seats in parliament, than Labor
