And again we vote for the lesser of the evils.

Then look at the mess in the US; a crumbling empire! We'll all be speaking Mandarin before we know it.

There must be an election.  I am one of the lucky few whose vote may actually make a difference, as Gladys (Liu) is our current member.  There is a lot of change going on with people leaving parliament in droves, it seems - be interesting to see what that means for those seats with all new candidates.

Funnily enough, about 2 weeks ago, State Labor and Labor Candidate announced funding for the development of a local sportsground should they be elected.  Gladys has just announced the same, but upped the amount.  Good to be in a tight seat, but it's going to be a pain in the rear with one-upmanship.

It will be interesting to see if pre-polling will be at the same level as last election, which essentially made the the last few weeks of the campaign redundant, as most people have probably already made up their minds.

For me, I can't stand the LNP any longer - the last two bits being the $500k + legals payout to the woman Tudge had an affair with, and a new DGR (Charity with tax deductions for donations) that has been promised $18m, given over $3m already, only received DGR status through the special exemption clause, so was given ministerial/parliamentary approval even though it still didn't meet the criteria for that.  I also don't have confidence in Albanese, but he may have a 'less weak' team.

Need to work on preference flows from the others to work out which way to go.

Do you vote on who your local member is or the party you want to get in?

Where my vote ends up going in the lower house, the upper house will be the opposite - there is no way that either party deserves full control of parliament.

We usually vote for negative reasons i.e to rid ourselves of the incumbent, rather than looking too closely at what we might be letting ourselves in for.

Actually, if I look at Scomo my criticism of his performance is that he gets all the price of milk stuff right but does feck all real work, he's a bit like a Carny selling smoke and mirrors tricks and nothing of substance! Our version of Trump but without all the personal abuse, lies and defamation!

The reality is that Morrison didn't actually know the price of a litre of milk or a loaf of bread.  The fact is both items can vary wildly in costs and have done for years based on the variety available on the shelves and the fridges.

Yep
It's a silly question.
As we shoppers know (and most pollies and journos don't) it depends on brand and varies considerably

The problem for Scomo is that's probably the answer he should have given.

Couldn't give a rusty f*ck if SloMo doesn't know the price of milk or whatever, or if Albo doesn't know the exact unemployment figures or whatever.

What does concern me is that SloMo is a glib, shallow bullsh*tter... and Albo is about as nebulous and nondescript as you can get. Both are about as far as you can get from real leadership.

Folks will forgive a 'not sure' or 'don't know' long before they'll forgive (if ever) guessing or pretending. We've more pressing issues than answers to these questions... which probably says more about the quality of journalism than the c0ckheads being interviewed.

What Lods and I are pointing out is the stupidity of the question.  The REAL outcome is whoever loses will be replaced

EDIT ... and with what Australia has had to endure with Covid, floods, drought, fires, a trillion dollar debt and international challenges, a few in the parliament (on both sides) should shut the **** up and know who they work for.
