“Australians can’t be trusted to vote, instead they should vote for someone who certainly cannot be trusted”
Politicians are the same people who support Israel, are in bed with LLM data centres, do jack shit on climate issues, focus on corporations over people, etc.
More often than not politicians act against the wishes of Australians.
That is true because the majority of politicians are right wing (including the alp), yet the people still keep voting for them.
it is the same as blaming billionaires and corporations for everything wrong in the world, many of them are definitely bad, but it is the people who fund them by using their products and services. Blaming them changes nothing, they don't really care about the blame, as long as they still get your money.
If you want a better world, be a better person, boycott dodgy companies, don't vote for dodgy politicians. There has been a decent choice on every single ballot that I have ever seen, they are surrounded by bad choices, but they are there.
