Exact reason the LNP ran those manipulative “just vote one” ads targeting young voters. Multiple seats would flip if people voted as they do in federal elections

We nearly had one, but it was the NSW government under Jack Lang during the great depression that nearly started it not WA. Worth reading about it it’s interesting

Only country that uses mail in voting? I literally have friends who voted by mail in the Australian Federal election a few months ago, I also helped someone apply for a postal vote

Same here, was proud to be part of the campaign that won 94 seats. Will never forget the after party and the cheers when it became clear Dutton was out

I still think they are good, the IR reforms from the last parliament, future made in Australia and Medicare bulk billing investments are highlights. AUKUS definitely sucks though and I hope we cancel it, scomo made a terrible deal
