Who to vote for?
  • So if you want to discuss political things do it here. I'll do my best.

    e: also, do understand, I am a public servant, so if I think that I might slightly possibly be touching on official work stuff, I won't be able to. I'll just say "can't say". Hopefully "soon", I won't have to say that any more.

  • So if you want to ask/discuss personal things do it under here. I want to be as transparent as you want our government to be.

  • I think I am just going to do something for you, and everyone here. I'm not ready yet, but I am in discussion with the government in relation to this project already.

    I think I will be able to do it with the support of our government, rather than trying to fight them for it.

    The only thing I need really, is for everyone to trust my broken mind, and support me if you are able to.

    And understand that I am severely autistic, I suffer from so many things, so I don't like to be bombarded too much. Well, the problem is that I do like it too much. If I had all the time in the world, I would read every word every one of you had to say, and respond in kind. And try to find a solution to your problem (tell me if you don't want that, I encourage you to come up with your own!)

    So for now, I'd rather limit my communication to this thread right here.

    Because I need you to trust me, I am going to share my life with you as best I can, without trying to inflict too much of my personal suffering upon you. If you find emotional trauma difficult to read about, consider that.

  • Yeah the comments on this thread make it pretty easy to fix.. Someone just needs to do it.. None is going to, none thinks they can, and none knows how.

    What I do know, is how to make that happen, and where we go next. I've worked out how to take the brakes off Australia.

    My union (CPSU) is a bunch of useless boomers so I don't subscribe.

  • So it seems like. So I guess, the only way we can really get anything done, is by getting into power.

    Well, let's do that then.

    I'm Gen X. My parents have been holding me back my whole life. I know how to beat them, I've already beaten them. I know how to beat boomers.

    I have children. My 9 year old is more efficient than a boomer. I know how to fix this. I can do this.

    I need to do this, so my kids can think about having kids.

    Anyone able to help me, idk much about politics, and all that shit. I never cared, because the system was always bullshit.

  • I agree, mine is genuine, I'm just apathetic. A baby boomer's baby.

    That's why I'm asking, I'm thinking of who to approach.

  • Is pretty much how I vote. I feel like the difference it makes isn't worth the time investing in researching. More than asking you, and having you share your thoughts at least.

  • Hi people and bots,

    Two simple questions:

    1. which party do you vote for federally? If you vote for people, which party do they align with best?

    2. why?

    I've been voting in this country for 30 years, and for the last 20, it doesn't seem to make a difference beyond undoing the last governments work.. Maybe you see something I don't.

  • It's really hard to try and remain positive, especially when there are so many big problems getting so much attention and these are problems you can personally feel and relate to - or know someone close who can.

    It goes on to create a feedback loop and your baseline can get so low that positive isn't even a thought. If you're lucky you have enough emotional support or numbness, maybe medication as well. But they can't fix the underlying problems.

    One thing is for certain, the system as we know it is not sustainable, it cannot last, and it will have to change. You just cannot have infinte growth with finite resources no matter how you want to slice it.

    Can it change fast enough, gracefully, remains to be seen.
