Three families have shared their stories of living in a state of mortgage stress in the marginal electorate of Lyons.
The Tasmanian electorate, which has a margin of 0.9 per cent, is one of many marginal seats around the country facing acute financial pressures, which is likely to be a key election vote decider.

And fourthly, in Australia, because of its particularly brutal gender politics, quotas have to be part of the answer.

What a change in 3 years eh?
I lost all damned faith in the australian voter after all those flung laurels and worship of Gillard’s misogyny speech only to turn around and vote into power the fucker it was aimed at.
I know a family, 4 voting adults, who won’t vote Labor at any level because the father had a dispute with a Union when he was the 3IC of a medium sized business.
I mean I hear what he was saying, the union was protecting a bunch of workers who had hit the point in life where they felt the company should hold their current jobs open for the next 10-15 years (until they retired) and they refused to negotiate around upskilling to up to date technology and work practice’s. The idea that a whole company should be stuck with 40 year old process on 50 year old hardware due to a small contingent of union employees is ridiculous.
But voting against your own interests at every state and federal election in the last 6 years and for the forseeable future as a response…
I had the “strong economic mangers” conversation with them about Gladys “Koala Killer” Berejiklian, “Oh she is doing a great job, you leave her alone… she’s only ever done her best and she gets picked on all the time…”
