15 years The Greens, 10 before that Independent, 5 before that Labor.
Why ? Becase the nations political and ecnomic policies are based on cruelty, exploitation and entitlment, so at least I don’t have to support that by enabling it with a vote.
The Greens policies are more likely (not all but more) to be based on science, the enviorment and/or kindness
I don’t believe The Greens are radical enough but my hope would be the Overton Window could be moved if there was a mich bigger swing to them, so we can at least discuss the more radical policies that are needed without being shouted down by conservatives.
I would always vote, I have no real hope that will change authing but If I am bothering to Vote I might as well do the right thing
I’m 58, I hold some pride in knowing I have NEVER voted for a winning candidate in any election I have ever voted in, it’s not me helping cause this fucking mess by continually voting for heartless grifters.

Yeah the comments on this thread make it pretty easy to fix… Someone just needs to do it… None is going to, none thinks they can, and none knows how.
What I do know, is how to make that happen, and where we go next. I’ve worked out how to take the brakes off Australia.
