Heaven help us all
Another little Hitler waiting in the wings
Albo looking to Palaszczuk as a “template” Govt
That’s really scary
Palaszczuk had mandates
Palaszczuk had tough border restrictions
Palaszczuk abused Human Rights
AND Albo wants to follow THAT example
AND don’t forget Morrison didn’t stop Palaszczuk
Albanese to look to Palaszczuk as a ‘template’ for government
Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has foreshadowed what a federal Labor government would look like, pointing to Queensland Premier
Ditto PlanB. But then Scomo and Albo are even worse. If Albo gets in, we are going to be under more rules and regulations than ever. He's another Daniels in the making. If we took out Labor, Liberal, Greens and Nationals, who in hell are we left with to vote for?

What does a good national anti-corruption body look like?
A strong federal anti-corruption watchdog should include three key things:
Yes, Beemee, our form of voting is a real mongrel -- because no matter how you vote Lab OR Libs will get in as they all have to give preference votes.
Maybe we will get a hung parliament? That will cost us the taxpayers even MORE money
As a Queenslander, what a load of crap Beemee.
As a voter, I will thoroughly look at my local candidates and vote for the one that I think best serves the interests of the electorate ...
anything else is pointless.
Oh you are funny RnR and obviously live in Brizzy or some other noteable town. My local candidates are few and far between. In my electorate the people have all brown lips - from all the butt kissing of one Liberal asshole who pushed (and still is) the Welfare Card. He knows its crippling everyone but he doesn't care. Its all the old guard who think he is doing a good job and only the newer residents and some younger people who can see through his facade.
The Labor candidate is similar to GG - gone AWOL, hear nothing at all of what their plans are. This is a heavy Lib seat so I guess they have given up even trying.
One Nation was a blimp on the radar about 4- 5 years ago, now there is no candidate here. No Greens either. No Independents.... ad infinitum! Its sort of, you ARE having this area as Liberal whether you like it or not!
Yes I agree I would pick the best candidate if I had them to choose from, but when there is one...nope! I have no idea if any will suddenly appear before election day, but I do hope so otherwise its not worth voting, I may as well pay the fine in advance.
Same here RnR I always check out the local candidates and vote for the one I like best in my electorate.
I agree PlanB
Preference votes should not be.
As RnR and Hola state they will pick the candidate who best serves their electorate but it is the preference vote that will get the party in.... hence it will do little for their electorate.

I check out their preferences too if they've declared them.
I am trying to find out who is giving preferences to whom. I did a check yesterday and the Independents went to both Lab and Lib and set out their conditions in which they will give their preferences, both disagreed and said no? Makes you wonder why? Is there any links that can tell us who is giving what to whom?
No matter who you choose to vote for the Lab or the Libs will get in -- that is preferential voting
It would be good if it was a real hung parliament -- I mean hang the lot of them!
Albanese wants to be Hawke, Howard and Palasczuk. Has he such a low self esteem that he can't be Albanese? Perhaps he wants to be transgender?
God forbid --I can not stand Palaszczuk
