Who and why?
Hopefully this involves sensible policy debate rather than team flag waving.
Personally, I generally vote on local issues first then a statewide overview which, a lot of the time is pointless.
My electorate his a liberal fortress hence my vote hasn’t never counted.
Interestingly though at a federal level it’s line ball between the 2 major parties. Rather unusual I believe
Anyways,
Who and why. Especially keen on specific policies that will decide your vote
I don't usually vote for the major parties because they are too similar and proven to be liars, backflippers and egomaniacal toss pots.
Labor are no longer the working man's party, they are a left wing virtue signalling party run by the greens and they allow themselves to be bent over and rogered by excessive wokery. When I did vote in decades past I was a Labor voter 90% of the time. These days I can't bring myself to vote for what they have become.
And I feel this way for both federal and state politics.
At one time the Libs stood for decent family values and for upholding life long Aussie traditions and standards and tended to not promote or support PC bullshit and wokery. Alas they now tend to fall into a similar worship of wokery as Labor.
The only tradition they have retained is a willingness to help associates in big business get richer, and I can't support that.
As for whose policies I will vote for, well, they don't talk about their policies so I don't really know what they stand for. The Labor goose just tells us it's time for change, what a ridiculous reason to offer for giving him your vote, and the Liberal goose's message is basically "stick with the devil you know", again what a ridiculous reason to try to win your vote.
Both leaders spend most of their time telling you how bad the other side is and don't educate you on how they would be any better, what they offer or what they would do differently.
I have no idea of what Labor or Liberal intend to do for our major societal issues like homelessness, the rental crisis, inflation, the plight of the indigenous in the outback, medical care, the rampant abuse of social welfare, our failed judicial system etc etc etc because both leaders gibber endlessly about how bad their opposition is.
I have a message for both state leaders, I have no interest at all in hearing how bad you believe your opponent is, it's irrelevant. If you want my vote tell me how you will improve the issues I have mentioned above. Convince me that you care about genuine issues instead of virtue signalling wokery and you'll have my vote.
I know that will never happen because basically both sides offer us moronic liars as leaders and nothing else.
I will be voting for the Animal Justice Party, at least they actually believe in something.
