I don’t believe in the Australian myth that home ownership is a worthy goal.
I know that safe, secure, private and long term housing is a human right.
I will be voting in line with this knowledge.

Australia gets its affluence from China.
Australia is impoverished by the United States of America*.
*and stupid free trades deals done by both sides of government.

As most dictators, including Trump and his handlers, know.
A healthy, well educated and informed citizenry is a threat to the abuse of power and corrupt governance.
Dutton is working from the same manifesto.
He is not interested in you or democracy, his only goal is unfettered power and influence.

I don't know... this seems pretty impressive what with detailed policy and all. But where's the zingy 3-word slogan to really sell it....
“The old relationship we had with the United States is over.
They are no longer our friends.
They are a hostile foreign power.
What are you gonna do about it?”

The Labor party want you to believe the LNP is the only alternative government.
The LNP want you to believe that Labor is the only alternative government.
The main stream media and poll takers want you to believe you can only choose from a political duopoly.
The truth is much more intricate, interesting and important.
Australia has preferential voting. It is a powerful tool for voters because your vote, when used properly, is never wasted.

The application form's "Merkblatt" section reminds me why I emigrated.
I just have to remember to take it in when the sun goes down because you don’t fly a US flag in the dark unless it has a spot light on it. Unfortunately, daylight savings time is over so sunset is at like 4:00 now. Ugh.

It is election day today. Here’s hoping we do away with the fascist prick once and for all. I am seriously looking forward to never having to see or hear him ever again. Cross your fingers, non-cult members. Today could be the day that we start being able to ignore that mother fucker.
I want to hang our flag today. I haven’t put it up since Biden’s inauguration day. Today seems like a good day to bring it back, but the forecast this morning calls for rain and flag etiquette dictates that you do not fly the US flag in the rain. The weather looks okay this afternoon. Maybe I’ll put it up after lunch. We’ll see.
Today could be the first day of a fascism free America. Do the right thing, people. Get out and vote for Kamala Harris. It’s the right thing to do*.
*It took every ounce of my being to not turn that into a Wilford Brimley quote from those old commercials and actually write “It’s the right thing to do and a tasty way to do it.” Were those oatmeal commercials? I can remember the slogan, but not the product and somehow that pleases me to no end.
I want to say that there is no way the fascist piece of orange shit could ever win the election tomorrow because a vote for him is effectively an act of violence against women. The women of the United States will never let that stand, and they will vote for Harris en masse which will lead to a landslide victory and an epic, historic humiliation for that nazi fuck. No woman in her right mind would ever vote for this sexist, abusive, abuser slime, right?
Then I remember that I said exactly the same thing in 2016 and the scum bag won.
I am absolutely terrified for the future of my country right now. I can’t even put the existential dread into words. Please don’t vote for that nazi fucker. Harris/Walz 2024. Please. Do the right thing.

ANALYSIS: Singh decision about cutting NDP ties to Trudeau, not an election prelude
In ripping up the deal he had with Justin Trudeau's Liberals, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh gives himself and New Democrats across the country more freedom to try to win votes.
