This has been the case of a while in Victoria already. Makes sense to me, and hardly much of an imposition since you have to renew your driver's licence from any country eventually anyway.

And yeah, if you're just visiting or on a temporary visa, no probs

I reckon we ought to increase the number lower house seats to 225 seats by combining electorates in groups of 2, and sending 3 candidates from each.

That ought to fix the representation issues we currently have in the lower house, without entirely removing the local nature of lower house electorates.

Say what you will about any party, but when you see a party routinely get 10-13% of the vote, but only manage to get 0.66 to 1.33% of the seats, it's kinda hard to argue we couldn't improve the system any further.

Even taking preferences into account, I think our current system favours larger parties too much because of single-member electorates.

Though, I am very grateful for the system we already have. Thank Christ we are not the US or UK (or Canada).

Aluminium used for drink cans is dubious because, once again, plastic (liners to prevent the drink from corroding the cans)

The Juice Media are forever questionable to me for recommending the teals as a blanket "not shit candidates", despite some of them, not unsurprisingly, being against workers rights.

100%. I'm also really glad mandatory voting remains popular

This was my favourite part of tonight hahaha

Scotty from marketing, a whole lotta words, not much substance.

Thank you to our forebears for this at least, giving us preferential voting so that no matter what we think might happen, we can still vote by our heart!!

People are at the very least starting to vote 3rd parties more and more. And thank Christ we have the option. (Though, single-member lower house electorates are pretty shite and favour the larger parties).

People are still just a bit rusted on to the known larger parties, looking into other parties is actual effort.

How people can vote for these idiots beggars belief

I LOVE they had to add the authorisation at the end because of electoral laws haha

Icing on the cringe cake

I expect it's at the behest of the oil industry anyway, gotta keep consumption as high as possible.

Brought to you by my conspiracy theory, which seems very plausible given oil companies' history.
