Comment on ‘Stop all time wasting’: Woolworths workers tracked and timed under new efficiency crackdown

  Though put the Greens ahead of Labor. Labor losing seats to the Greens, and having to depend on the Greens to govern, is a realistic possibility, and Greens MPs holding their feet to the fire could provide a counterbalance to the revolving door to corporate Australia.

    Love to see it. Exploit preferential voting, have your say (personally greens, but anything other than abortion illegal will do)

      I mean it’s not really exploiting if that is exactly the reason why preferential voting exists. Or do I misunderstand something?

    afaik, ‘cooker’ has risen as a slang term for the wackier conspiracy theorists:

    From Wiktionary:

    5. (slang, Australia) A person who makes or uses illicit drugs, especially methamphetamine or cannabis.

    7. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A person who is cooked in the head; a crazy person.
    8. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A conspiracy theorist, especially one who is involved in politics.

    Cooker definition

    So yeah. There can be independent parties with uh… fringe beliefs that you may not align with. So it’s good to do research on each party or candidate

      Indies? I define “cooker” as the LNP and everyone to the right of them.

        Sorry I don’t explain it well. It’s usually been the fringe parties that were most obvious but you do have a point

      I cannot vote but as a recent arrival I’m in the process of getting the picture.

    eureka explained it well, but my slighter broader definition is:

    • Anti-vaxxer and other single-issue conspiracy parties
    • Religious right parties
    • Nazis
