It’s great to see that more and more people are voting away from the ALP and Coalition every election. The false dichotomy rhetoric of “they’re better than the other party” is just insufferable, and the US has shown us how the two-party duopoly plays out.
Investigate your candidates. Don’t assume all independents and minor parties are different, many are former members of the big parties. There are plenty of resources other lovely aussies have posted in the past couple of weeks so just ask around.

Just make sure you preference Labor ahead of the Coalition. That’s the risk of “both sides” rhetoric, although I would hope that most people here understand this.

Of course! I’ve definitely got Labor above Liberal above ON. But Labor are around the halfway mark on my ballots, my electorate is blessed with better options.
