Surely the media coaches were banging their heads after that one- obviously the first two questions would be:
A:Whatever Labor is spending it on!
A: We only just announced this! The ~~bribes~~ err, ~~donations~~ oops, strategic direction will be soon available
"All will be revealed after the election! Just vote for us!"
Seriously, they have had three years in opposition, a huge build up when "everyone knows" there's an election to be called soon, and yet..... somehow , they're pretty light on all the details on how exactly they're going to do all this stuff that they claim they're going to do.
At least the Greens can back their policies with numbers and details, even if you disagree with them. Dutton and Co, it's just a lot of spooky handwaving and "oooo Labor baaaad! Vote for us! We'll fix it by mumble mumble"
Added rant: Trumpet Of Patriots promising so much bullshit with nary a scrap of evidence or reasoning on exactly HOW they're going to do any of it.
But the latter wins the votes. LNP at the last election had the most votes of anyone with 35.7% Greens only had 12.2%. This election I'd expect the Greens to get less votes and the LNP to increase their voting %.
*I'm a Greens voter and have for 20 yrs. Independent before that.
