I’m quite the bleeding heart lefty. I like science. Umm, I loathe the LNP & am often disappointed by Labor.
I left the Twattersphere because I like discussion not argument.

Oh, I own a sailing boat, which is why I teeter on the razor’s edge of bankruptcy
Once you’re in the polling booth, nothing can stop you scribbling gibberish on the ballot but you MUST turn up &be crossed off the voter list.
Informal votes, are rare.
We’re forced to think about politics & decide who will govern, even if it only lasts for the minutes you’re in the booth.

If you don’t vote you’re are fined.

It’s considered both a right and a civic duty.

Australia has the word’s best electoral system with; compulsory, preferential voting; a completely independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (gerrymandering is impossible); paper ballots; no voter ID (it would make voting difficult for some); a Court of Disputed Returns; &more.

Copy us, we know.
