I just got about the 20th email from Labor in the past week, trying to convince me that it will be my fault if Dutton gets in, because I didn't give Labor a donation.

Dutton wants to repeat this costly cronyism.

[LNP] 'Morrison government spent $20.8bn on consultants and outsourcing public service in final year, audit finds.'

'The equivalent of 54,000 full-time staff were employed by the federal government in 2021-22, or 37% of the actual workforce.'

I got a haircut today and while I was there the election came up. Another barber, maybe 30, was telling us all how he found out that if the person you put for number one doesn't get in, your entire vote goes to the person you put for number two! And so on. I'm happy he discovered this before voting but I mourn for the political literacy of our nation #auspol

We need real leaders @MrLee
The last, and probably only, leader that Australia has had who wasn't a subservient colonial was Gough Whitlam. The others have all been terrified of upsetting our master of the time.
🤔
OK, maybe Curtin. But he really just changed our master.
