    ‘Australia is a lucky country, run on other people’s ideas by second rate men who share its luck…’

    They (we) were fucking told too. Repeatedly, by parties and representatives who saw this coming a mile off and who we can’t support because something something gay people and minorities.

    Years, and the money, we’ve had, but no, fucking fossil fuel and identity politics.

        The party that warned us about all these things and have policies to deal with them are also highly supportive of minority rights.

        Those are generally used as basis of discrimination toward them.

            Yeah it’s a pain in the arse, fortunately we have preference voting so we can afford to go third party and still underwrite the safe option.

            It’s no less frustrating though; the Australian Greens, most of the independents and teals put forward the policies we really need to take us forward.

            The Greens have wanted electrification of our transport systems for decades. But they’re ’wishy washy’ and ‘obstructionist’.
