NSW National Parks seeking feedback on proposed changes re. camping fees and bookings in c/australia@aussie.zone

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

NSW campsites by memory were double QLD prices in places. It felt incredibly expensive. I don't recall fully, but man, in comparison to QLD it felt a bit of a rip.

They want to lift it even more now?

They're important.

The libs and Labor are owned by the miners and the gambling industry.

We need to cut the income to the corrupt duopoly, and the threat of the greens is real

Labor made plenty of promises at the last election. Did they deliver? in c/australianpolitics@aussie.zone

Don't let the Libs or Labor fool you that there's "not enough money".

We could have free school, university, full free healthcare, and more. We could have it tomorrow. The money IS there.

The miners are getting all of the wealth out of the ground and paying $0 tax.

The gas industry are not even paying to get the gas out of the ground, and they pay $0 tax.

The reason?

The Libs and Labor get fat, over paid jobs as 'consultants' with the miners when they leave public office.

This is corruption in Australia. The libs and labor letting their mates take it all for free. Billions worth every year. Then the fat jobs await them.

Put them both last on the ballot. Fire their corrupt asses, and get the public money back from the miners, to fund a healthy and wealthy society.

Where will my vote go? in c/australia@aussie.zone

I just want to thank you for this.

It sent me down a rabbit hole. I've come out with such confidence, from the knowledge I've acquired.

It's been the best political shot to the arm of my life.

I feel like I'm absorbing politics with the correct filter now. So I can make informed decisions, based on my understandings.

Thanks again, for such am incredible contribution to society.

I've shared your post with many people, in the hope it helps them also.

Guess I'm voting for the gay guy now. Thanks rednecks.

I am joking of course. Policy, and voting history for me.

Where will my vote go? (lemmy.ml)

Hi Australia.

I'm planning on voting as is my duty and my privilege at the upcoming election.

I'm going to preface by saying that I don't want my votes to go to the Dark Lord or the Liberal Party or the liars in the Labour Party. They are both completely corrupt and I'm adamant that they need to feel some pain.

So then I want to look at the independents and consider what they do and what they don't do, and will they be truly representative, or are they just there scrambling for votes to get some money and power? Who can say?

So what I'd like to do to make sure the Liberals and Labour don't get my vote, is find some kind of flowchart, that shows if I vote for an independent or a smaller party, where does that preference go to, so that I don't feed the party that I don't want to get my vote in the end.

Is there any resource out there that can show me where the preferences get fed to, so I can make an informed choice.

I feel like this should be a legal obligation, that we are all given this kind of information in a flowchart. But I can't find it. Can anybody help?

Thank you so much.
