You couldn’t make this up.

If you care about nature, Labor & Libs aren’t representing you.

Im hoping that you do get re elected with a Labor gov (even if it is a minority) & make them do this this time around

ruralviewau.bsky.social•59 days ago

If there's a minority government I doubt if it's going to be a Labor one unless LNP numbers are way down still
Many Independents vote with LNP
Look at the outcry the last time that Independents from Conservative areas supported Labor #CareerEnding

onetiredpidgeon.bsky.social•59 days ago

Its more likely to be a Labor one than LNP. If the libs lose one or two seats to Teals, they have to win 4 to get back.

ruralviewau.bsky.social•59 days ago

I support Independents but if it comes to a minor government then I don't assume that Teals will not support LNP to obtain the right to govern
I voted for Oakshott I witnessed the abuse through the media & other means he was subjected to after 2010 & during his campaigns for re-election

tiredlala.bsky.social•59 days ago

Agree, though the best Labor govt would be one with a leader with a backbone & a conscience. Also, be careful what you wish for…look at the pitiful #NACC they delivered

stellajorette.bsky.social•56 days ago

The two party system is failing us and the planet. We need to grow the cross bench enough to achieve campaign finance reform. If big money and fossil fuels continue to call the shots, we all lose.

glmiller.bsky.social•59 days ago

well said DP.
'dump the duopoly 2025'

onemoreperson.bsky.social•59 days ago

Wel if it’s formed like the NACC it’s motto will be “Nothing to see here”

ashrafghebranious.bsky.social•59 days ago

And how would that have passed in the Senate David? As well as the referendum wording I take it?

The 2 party system is a failure. Corporate interests captured the ALP and LNP many moons ago.

We vote the least worse in, or like the US we vote for the one that is going to benefit 'me' the most, not necessarily Australia.

Our preferential voting system is the key to improving our Government.

bluejeans58.bsky.social•59 days ago

Promises promises.
Same lies as last time then? Next they’ll be promising transparency and accountability again! Vote the duopoly last, they do not work for us.

pipipohutukawa.bsky.social•59 days ago

But they’re happy to let corporates trash Macquarie Harbour first!

robwalls.bsky.social•59 days ago

Recycled promises aren't what they used to be. Never!

GFY, Brumby Killer.

They have no credibility and are not worthy of respect or votes.

juffy1.bsky.social•59 days ago

JFC it's the CPRS all over again. Waaah, the Greens made us do it by trying to improve legislation after we alone voted it through the house.

libbi123.bsky.social•59 days ago

It's always the Greens with Labor. Somehow, no matter what they do, it's always the Greens fault. Anyone would think the Greens were the ones in power, the amount of stuff they apparently control

juffy1.bsky.social•59 days ago

It's really quite impressive how much power they apparently wield from such a small number of people. They must be masterful strategists, maybe more people should vote for them. 🤔

dfarrik.bsky.social•59 days ago

No. It’s because it’s politically lucrative for them not to compromise and prefer to hold the ALP to ransom with petty Goldilocks objections. That way they can hold the moral high ground while not having to actually do … anything.

libbi123.bsky.social•59 days ago

Ok. Even if that's true (debatable, at best), it doesn't explain how much the Greens live rent free in Labor's collective mind.

dfarrik.bsky.social•59 days ago

There’s many reasons but mainly we get pissed at the oft quoted yet demonstrably false Greens slogan that they “make Labor better” 🤮

libbi123.bsky.social•59 days ago

breaklikethewind.bsky.social•59 days ago

At least Labor is adhering to one of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals by recycling their election promises.

aussiewitch.bsky.social•59 days ago

Seems all their promises last election have been implemented to help politicians not us..NACC is a farce ..Robodebt is still happening ..EPA non existent..Stopping coal and gas..a lie…and the poor are getting poorer.

simonrosenberg.bsky.social•59 days ago

Nothing will quell the public's anger about the Albanese govt's environmental credentials - which are now in tatters.

And being 'not as bad as the LNP' is such a low base, it's laughable.

The nation's future depends on progressive minority govt. #auspol

ruralviewau.bsky.social•59 days ago

Who's going to make up this "Progressive" Minority government because not all Independents are progressive & vote with the LNP on many matters

libbi123.bsky.social•59 days ago

So we need to vote for those that are progressive.

ruralviewau.bsky.social•59 days ago

Who are they?
Check how Teals vote They are not progressives

libbi123.bsky.social•59 days ago

I didn't say teal. I'm well aware that they are blue Liberals with a bit of green added.

ruralviewau.bsky.social•58 days ago

& yet you didn't answer the question of who are progressives?
The Greens?
They get 10-15% of the votes Few like them & more despise them

dfarrik.bsky.social•59 days ago

Worked so well in 2010.

dfarrik.bsky.social•59 days ago

Labor is doing what it has always done - legislating for its base.

Though it’s nice the independents and minor parties get to hold the moral high ground while never having to make decisions in the national interest themselves.
