Today's the day guys.

The day when someone will grab hold of Albos thick round neck and smash those nasty sharp little teeth out of his skull.

:c

It's ok, handler Wong won't let anyone bitch slap him, the only bloke who's going to thump albo is Penny.

Don't use koala suit for camouflage, they were practicing. Your best bet is hiding in abandoned mine shafts.

Our voting system:

https://votingsystemspreferentialandpro ... -cons.html



PREFERENTIAL

ADVANTAGES
-        The successful candidate has to achieve an absolute majority so all votes and 2nd votes and so on may be used, preventing vote wastage

-        Preference allocations allowing people to have their other choices and views represented

-        No gerrymandering in Australia in particular as the Australia Electoral Commission

-        It allows particles of like-minded philosophies or policies to ‘exchange preferences,’ in order to assist each other win

Promotes a strong two party system, ensuring stability in the parliamentary process


DISADVANTAGES

-        Very complex system, that is often found difficult to complete

-        Very hard also to count and recount votes, can take a very long, strenuous time to count

-        Donkey votes can become more occurent as people may not understand the voting process, or just not care, creating an unfair result

-        When people use a ‘how to vote card’, they often can give away votes, without meaning to

-        Promotes a ‘two party system’ that is detrimental to minor parties and independent

Voters have to express a preference for candidates that they don’t want to support at all. (NSW and Queensland solved this by having optional preferential voting)

For the first time in ever, I'm feeling passionate about closing the gap.

Good news about Cairns and far North Queenslands severe weather warnings today.
They can get a free bulk-billed tellihealrh medical certificate to avoid getting wet at the polls.

Let's share this info, complete with phone numbers. Because nonone should be forced out into the elements, especially as flu & covid season is upon us.

To those planning on voting conservative, don't even THINK ABOUT calling an Indian tellihealrh GP, I don't care if you're dying, get down to the polling booths.
