MODERATORS
We don't have fptp, we have ranked choice. So if our first choice gets eliminated, votes will go to the second choice and so on. This means that minor parties and independent candidates have a chance.
Labor is our centre-left part with roots in unions. Liberals are centre-right with roots in business and suburban professionals but have been charging hard right in an attempt to pick up the conservative retard vote. Our current actual centre-right is a bunch of independents (candidates not endorsed by a party) collectively known as the Teals. Greens are the biggest actual left party. Pauline Hanson's One Nation (PHON) and Trumpet of Patriots (TOP) are right wing nuts.
Albanese is a "cunt" because he and his party still cater to big business despite claiming to be the party of workers. An example from Tasmania being introducing Federal legislation to protect the salmon farms currently destroying our waterways in an attempt to buy votes in a marginal electorate.
