Clive Palmer's stupid campaign ad that mentions "not needing to be welcomed to our own country" probably contributed to this. Especially because the guy is 26 and those are constantly rolling on youtube.

Technically it's only compulsory to have your name checked off the rolls and put your ballots in the boxes. What you do in the booth is between you and the goddesses.

The Liberal party has only held a majority in their own right once in their 80 year history, the 1996 election of John Howard.

But, as was already pointed out, this is satirical. However I feel like it's gearing up for the Coalition's response if Labor ends up forming government with the Greens, which I feel like is more than just an outside chance.

Response time does not equal time to write an email.

Albo, in a minority government with the Greens. As an excellent video I watched recently pointed out, The Coalition has always been minority governments too, Labor & the Greens just need to point that out this time.

So is HDMI? Smaller connectors aren't always better, and it's not like it's SCART size or something.

I think I was in the minority, but I immediately understood what you were getting at. It made more sense that you were pointing out the IDF's hypocrisy, than trying to prove Hamas' guilt with woefully wrong evidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know whether this is too far or not, but do remember that all pro-zionists will call you anti-semitic for saying something anti-zionist.

Now there’s anger and depression as the tariffs sink in.

I hope we don't end up putting retaliatory tariffs on goods sold by American companies that are actually made in China. iPhones and Pixels are the one that comes to mind first. All that would do is harm Australian consumers and cause the cost of living to increase, because I don't think people will turn around and buy a Samsung instead. Well, maybe people looking to buy a Pixel but not an iPhone. I'm pretty sure Apple pays most of their corporate taxes in Ireland anyway.

As well, tariffs on American pharmaceuticals would be pretty silly, because it's the government that's going to foot the bill, when they're the ones collecting the tariff anyway, so it'd just be a ridiculous cyclical situation.

I don't know, I think that's pushing too far personally. In Australia it's against the law to insult someone based off things like race, gender or things of that nature. That is super important IMO. But I could call a cop a pig and get away with it.

What kind of fascist world are we living in that "insulting a police officer" can be a crime?

Except, that's not really the definition of a protest vote. An actual protest vote is drawing a massive dick on your ballot.
