Absolutely nailed it. Our preferential voting system is basically democracy with cheat codes.. confusing enough to make quantum physics look like naughts and crosses. Most voters have no idea they’re building a political Russian doll with their ballot, while Australian Labor and the Australian Greens sit back, collecting second...

@AustralianLabor John Howard relied on preferential voting to win election but when the liberals lose then oh let’s change our voting system because it’s not fair. What a crock.

Truth is both parties have won elections (federal & state) with this system.. it’s not the point I’m making. What percentage of voters do you think understand exactly how preferential voting works? PS I’m not interested in “whataboutisms” I’m not loyal to any party or politician.

@AustralianLabor You're a fucking idiot and want to change the rules because your brand of politics is losing. Most voters are smarter than you and know what they're doing. I'm from the UK, FPTP is shit. Voters need to tactically vote. MPs can get elected despite the majority being against them.

@AustralianLabor Tom Elliott is full of shit. First past the post leads to distorted outcomes due to vote splitting and tatic voting. Makes it even more difficult for minor parties to win seats.

@AustralianLabor How you win Gov now if via preferences. Stack the cards with your de facto parties and its all yours. Helps when 1 in 5 are gov employees and 1 in 5 are on the NDIS.

This will only work if we remove mandatory voting. Without a preferential system minor parties and independents have no chance as most voters are apathetic and only know the 2 party system. Removing mandatory voting means those who understand policy, party and governance decide, giving everyone on the ballot a fighting chance. #auspol

The Australian Labor Party is leaning so hard right now into promoting ethnic and religious sectarianism - it genuinely appears to be their number one political strategy for all future elections and it’s extremely alarming. Consider this example today. Here we have Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong greeting a political conference for “future Chinese Australian leaders” - basically adhering to the PRC’s blood and soil line that all ethnically Han Chinese people are still “Chinese” no matter what, even if their families have five generations history in Australia, even if they migrated from countries like Malaysia like Penny Wong’s own family. I thought we were all supposed to be Australian? The Australian Labor Party appears to be borrowing here from UK Labour’s strategy of asymmetric multiculturalism - actively promoting and encouraging minority sectarian identities while badgering the majority culture to suppress its own expressions of community identity. Think of how few Australian Labor federal politicians celebrated Easter and Australia Day compared to ethno-religious holidays and festivals like Ramadan and Chinese New Year. Think of Labor Premier Jacinta Allan insisting that Australia is a “nation of foreigners” with literally no common core culture or national identity. This is their strategy of assymetric multiculturalism. Where are the political conferences for future Irish Australian leaders, Italian Australian leaders, Anglo Australian leaders? Why was I never invited to shake the Foreign Minister’s hand at a political conference for “future Greek Australian leaders”? LMAO. These conferences don’t exist because they would be seen as ridiculous in a society where these groups long ago were expected to assimilate into a common Australian culture. But Labor now appears to want to undermine civic nationalism and a common civic culture. It seems like they want to divide up the population of Australia along dozens of different ethno-religious community lines. They want to deal with unelected community “bosses” to turn out the vote, like the era of Tammany Hall Irish ward bosses in New York City. It’s a disgrace

It looks like Labor and the Coalition could be preparing the rush more legislation through the parliament this week, this time to funnel more of your money into their pockets. Changes proposed to electoral laws are little more than a gift that Labor is giving to major parties in the form of ‘compliance’ funding, courtesy of the Australian taxpayer. At 30 thousand dollars per lower house MP and 15 thousand dollars per senator, Labor will get close to 2.7 million dollars. When you add it up for every member of this Parliament, it reaches 5.67 million dollars. Don’t you love it how Labor is just helping itself to more of your money? They conveniently make some changes to the electoral act and then decide their MPs need more of your money to comply with them. When Labor imposes horrendous compliance requirements on miners and small businesses and farmers – such as with the appalling industrial relations legislation rammed through last year – they get no support to help them comply. Yet it’s the miners and small businesses and farmers which generate real wealth in the economy in the form of jobs, goods and their taxes – not MPs. It’s their productivity which drives our economy, and it’s the excessive red, green and black tape imposed by Labor which is a drag on this productivity. I’d call it hypocritical, except these days Labor wears hypocrisy like a badge of honour. I’m just going to settle for calling it greedy. These will be bold, genuine reforms that help remove the major parties’ stranglehold on Australian democracy. The days of the two-party system are gradually coming to an end – but not quickly enough.

Last night, I had a respectful debate with a young man named Hayes, who is part of the campaign to lower Australia’s voting age to 16. He’s passionate, articulate, and clearly cares about this country. I commend him for that. But caring about issues is not the same as being ready to vote on them. At 16, you can’t legally drink, smoke, sign a lease, or enlist to defend this country. And there’s a good reason for that: we understand that maturity matters. Voting is no different. Our democracy depends on voters who understand the full weight of their decisions on defence, national security, foreign policy, tax, and more. These are not classroom topics. They’re real-world responsibilities. Some young people are politically active, and that’s great but they’re the exception, not the rule. Most teenagers are still under their parents’ roof, still focused on school, and still forming their views based on limited life experience. And we need to be honest about what’s really happening. There’s growing influence from activist agendas and ideological bias in the education system. Social media echo chambers and pressure to conform make teenagers more vulnerable to political manipulation, not less. Lowering the voting age would hand over enormous democratic power to people who are still learning how the system works. Let’s be clear: 18 is already a generous standard. Some would say it should be higher, considering how much is expected of voters. But at the very least, we cannot afford to go backwards. This isn’t about shutting young people out. It’s about preparing them properly so when they do vote, they vote with independence, understanding, and real-world experience behind them. That’s how we protect our democracy. That’s how we protect the country they’ll one day lead. Watch the full debate and decide for yourself.
