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.
