Worth a look, even if you reckon voting doesn't mean anything. Can at least try to deprive the majors of the election funding and give a decent minor party a shot at having the balance of power.

A good link! I basically voted the same today. One Nation first, UAP second, major parties last. Labour at the bottom while Green just before.

I voted today and I detested every second of it. That said, I voted for LibDems as number 1 in both forms. Lolberts may be degenerates but I'm voting for whoever will leave me alone.

UAP is proposing to run in Victoria Election this year.

I live on a main road where I have UAP signs out front of my home for this whole month. They were taken, smashed, or turned away within a day or two. I have a 2 metre high brick fence around my whole property. I end up putting the UAP signs up in my trees (3 meters up). Last weekend, after a week they were removed. I put new ones up the next day (6 in total again) where they haven't been touched this week.

I’d be more worried about catching monkey pox from whoever’s taking them down!!!

Yeah things are pretty blackpilled here in Vic after the last 2 or so years.

After what state/territory Labor governments put us through over the past 2.5 years, the public still voted them in at the federal level, effectively endorsing lockdowns and vaccine mandates. Can't even use the excuse of low turnout since we have compulsory voting. Australians really care nothing whatsoever about freedom. Incredibly depressing outcome.

You're surprised? Tens of thousands of mostly productive European families with their own businesses have already escaped this open asylum and many more (moi?) are going to follow them. It's a joke of a country.

I am a little surprised. I've heard a lot of complaining against Andrews where I live and I dared to hope that this frustration would manifest itself in the ballots. Guess ABC viewers really do represent the majority.

Nothing really changes. The sheeple have replaced the blue half of the uniparty with the red half. Both thought it was ok to discriminate against citizens for a medical decision and to ban normality in the name of public health. Meh. At least Albanese will have to deal with a schizo crossbench hopefully in a minority government which may limit any further damage from the uniparty on the public psyche.

The rise of the greenie "independents" is also another reminder of how brazenly zealous leftists are for power. Incredibly disciplined with the seats they targeted and the 'feelz for the environment' message they put out to all the bored doctors' wives of the rich parts of Sydney/Melbourne. Compare that discipline to chaotic Clive on the right who's now pissed millions into the wind two elections running for no return (and may have cost Hanson her Senate seat to boot).

I took my name off the electorate roll since I don't live in Australia anymore, and was sick of the fines of contacting them contesting the fines I was getting.

Pretty whatever about the result to be honest. Oz is doomed regardless.

Well I guess "build back better" comes to Australia....I guess the only white pill is from the protests that hopefully the vaccine garbage doesn't keep up at clown world rate. Unfortunately I see one of their policies is "quarantine camps" so probably headed for "South China" territory.

Only about 3/10 Australians voted Albanese. More a referendum on Australians have zero connection to either party. It was the preferences of the BS Climate independents that swung the vote. Albanese will last only last a term. He's useless.

Having lived abroad for years though, Australia is nowhere near as f**ked as North America. It's going to take another couple decades plus of low IQ immigration to get to their level of intolerable living.

Yes but in some ways that's even worse than voting Labor - the 'protest vote' went to the greens and the 'teal' independents instead of parties like Liberal Democrats, One Nation, UAP - in other words Australians want more statism and climate change action and couldn't care less about civil liberties, national debt or national security. We may not be as bad as America but America is ground zero for the most insane ideologies in the world so that's not something to be that proud of.

This election went the way we expected, but on the bright side, by the next election, consider how many boomers will have died off, potentially giving subsequent generations a chance at life.
