Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

More important is a similar question for the other side - when will the backstabber be back stabbed?

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

Compulsory voting = more morons vote.

Many voters don't bother looking into the issues or policies - the reason behind a brand light on policy ("Kevin07") winning with such a landslide 3 years...

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

That was in reference to the sudden increase in boats over the last 2 years.

In regards to the policy behind it, both Abbott and Gillard were saying the same things about redirecting the boats, it...

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

Elections for the senate happened on 21st August. I think you're referring to the NSW state elections next year, and his standing for the NSW Legislative Council (the upper house).

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

That would only take government (and the House of Reps as a whole) yet another step away from the people - they are meant to represent the people. What you suggest has serious flaws. Local members...

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

Disagree. In principle that sounds fine, but the massive trade-off is losing local representation (unless you're referring to an even worse semi-proportional approach). Also, although people may...

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

For 2 reasons I'm not going to suggest any other forms that could be looked at. Firstly because I'm quite comfortable with the current situation, and secondly if people want a change in form then...

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

Fraser was first appointed by the GG, however an election shortly followed, in which the people of Australia gave Fraser a very big majority.

Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread

This would require a change in the constitution of every State - I believe I read that a change in State constitution in Qld and WA at least would require a State referendum. So you could have the...

You didn't have to. However I find people go on about Australia becoming a republic, but actually meaning different things. For example, saying parliamentary republic doesn't indicate how the head...
