welcome: Australians and outlanders alike
Today was a federal election in Australia, in which the incumbent Liberal-National Coalition is expected to narrowly retain government against the Labor opposition.
Right now votes in the house of representatives are being counted.

/balt/
first for two major parties is too few
I am in pain
Time for some heavy drinking tonight.
I just want fast internet.
>>61581608
None of the parties are deserving of my vote, I'll take that fine thanks
>>61581846
go and vote for /balt + ausnz/ instead
Currently listening to Death Grips to see what the hype is about. Not all that good, prefer to listen to Mr Bungle.
>>61581846
just cast an invalid ballot vote ya dingus. At least then you show up in the statistics for invalid votes, rather than some presumed meth head who couldnt be arsed turning up.
>Labor
>house of representatives
Man you guys really are Americanized.
>>61581846
How much is the fine?
>>61581906
It's not traditionally exclusively American. -or and -our were used relatively interchangeably in Britain and here. Labor was founded a century ago and chose -or because it was seen as more progressive than the Francophillic -our.
So who the fuck will give us our NBN
>>61581910
$200
>>61581910
$20
Can increase to $180 if it remains unpaid
>>61582005
And a criminal conviction
>>61582021
how patriotic
my seat had a fucking awful selection of lower house parties
literally the only OK party was the libs. I put the ALP and Greens last respectively but the other parties were like "Animal Justice" and "Drug Reform" party.
>>61582040
Makes people get off their ass and give a shit enough to vote. So worth it in a way.
>see friend wearing a labor shirt at polling both
>sent a photo of him to all my liberal friends over imessage
>everyone has now excluded him
Not like it mattered anyway since ince the libs get in he won't have time for a social life once they cut penalty rates and Medicare he will be working all the time
>>61582063
>literally the only OK party was the libs
Bourgeoisie out
>>61581906
The spelling of Labor uses the American spelling in honour of King O'Malley.
>>61581846
I just put in empty ballots
Voted One Nation in the Senate and Rise Up Australia in House of Representatives as my 1st preferences
And you lads? Better be no Greens cunts in here
>>61582076
sick of this
>the coalition is only good for the rich
gimmick. Anyone who earns slightly above the average income will be better off under the libs as opposed to labor. Especially if they do cut income taxes.
>Be Australian
>don't vote
>get arrested
>go to court
>found guilty
>get executed by salt water crocs
>>61582105
you get fined like $20 dollarydoos
>>61582105
I thought we get sent to the Torres Strait with the others who don't contribute to society
>>61582119
not even. 90% of the time they just don't even bother to fine.
>>61582105
that's pretty much it
>>61582088
>mfw the /pol/ poll had 10% greens
>>61581608
Daily reminder who dissolved your parliament on a whim
Silly colonials, thinking elections make you free
>>61582105
That'll teach you not to ignore your civic duty, cunt.
>>61582088
You voted for them....ironically?
>>61582136
Good wouldn't want that pol scum supporting my party
>>61582151
>On a whim
Come now m8. Don't be silly.
>tfw not enrolled to vote
>>61582196
good lad
>>61581831
This is what I don't get, you're more first world than the UK in most ways, but what is the deal with your internet? Is it as bad as people say, and if so what's the problem
>>61582172
Completely unironically, and you?

>>61582335
>15 million Brits flee to Aus & Cananda overnight
>15 million Poles and Nigerians flee to the now half empty Britain
>everyone in Aus flees to NZ to escape the Brits
I'm not sure about this plan
>>61582404
unlikely
even if it was, itd be fucking wank
>>61582238
Government didn't invest and when Lab did, the Libs won due to Boat people. Then they fucked it all up.
>>61582431
>everyone in Aus flees to NZ to escape the Brits
Nah, we would make a gamble on summer to weed you out.
>>61582404
Actually yes it is.
>>61582431
>imblying
fucken hell Queensland
proving once again WA > QLD
>>61582196
Are you 12
>>61582487
Queensland is literally holding the whole fucking country back.
>>61582487
>>61582547
shut up, fucking flyovers
I put $10,000 on Liberal to win, so either I get money to get out of this country with or I get a decent government.
it's win/win lads
Which party should I want to win, and why lads?
>>61582570
jesus christ that term is not at all applicable to australia, fuck off back to america you disgusting cunt
>>61582587
None and you should worry about your nation desu
>>61582610
Moving to Australia soon, mate. Need 2 know
>>61582587
There's a lot. But it's always between Labor and Liberal, basically cucks and dumbarses. flip a coin and see
>>61582587
Honestly the best outcome if a hung parliament, where no major party has an outright majority.
But essentially Lib/Nat = Centre right, Labor - Centre left.
However you'd want Labor to win because both the major parties have the same immigration policy but Labor will hopefully give us good internet and won't privatise medicare (our NHS) which the Liberals have their eyes on.
>>61582487
>>61582649
If you got some wealth libs, if you part of the rest than you want Lab. Both generally central.
>waah we hate the liberals
>liberals got majority vote atm
>>61582698
Can't fudd the Rudd
Man I miss him.
Bye Bye Medicare you were good but now you are going~ away
>>61582787

Nothing wrong with Xenophon
Why are the parties called Liberal and Labor?
>>61582826
Xenophon is pretty based

Fuck off Frenchman, it's the original Latin spelling.
>>61582653
this
why do people hate labor when they're not doing anything different to immigrants than what liberal is doing? and we keep our healthcare and fast internets
also don't listen to smug cunts who won't shut the fuck up abut putting major parties last, honestly noone cares
>>61583098

>>61583163
hnnnng
>>61583171
if you enroll to vote and don't do it, yes, it's a $20 fine but it's super lax. It's a good thing tb'h m8, it encourages people to give somewhat of a toss.
>>61583171
no bully ;_;

Can't you spoil your ballot? Draw a massive veiny cock on it that cums swastikas

The question is: will you be part of the additional 2 million that will receive FTTP if Labor wins
1 - ALA
2 - one nation
3 - libs
4 - family first
How'd I do?
>>61583192
At least one and one of them will be are Pauline
>>61583225
shit, you shitcunt
>>61583171
we always have >90% turnout. It helps stop fruitcakes like ALA winning anything.
>>61583171
Wait you have mandatory military service in Finland?
>>61583192
labor up 52-49 the dream is real faster internet here we come
>>61583240
Is that why you never see a fat Finn, they're all made to exercise by law
>>61583204
You sure can. Anyone who just cops the fine is an idiot.

cmon cuckbull
This is going to be close holy shit.
61/60
the dream is real lads
Labor: 60
Liberal: 61
WA votes incoming
labour and NEETs on suicide watch
>>61583051
I don't get this mentality. I think it's great if there's more diversity in the parliament. It's a better representation of the electorate.
>>61583389
The dream was only real if Labor stayed in last election now you still get a shitty watered down NBN regardless
Lol
Hung parliament and power in the independents!
>>61583248
>>61582238
>>61582370
>>61582460
The real problem is that we've allowed a body as incompetent as the federal government, whoever they may be, to actually implement a national broadband roll-out. Instead of just selling the idea to singtel or some shit, generally when there is a monetary incentive to get something done, it happens. Fucking morons.
>>61583436
I blame Telstra.
>>61583420
stopping the boats is more important than faster internet m80
>>61583309
>vote greens please the youtube channel
Fuck off and die. I hope you never reach voting age.
>>61583409
it's far harder to get things done though
i'd rather a party have the numbers to pass laws, and i trust the libs to not fuck up the economy, every thing else is secondary for me.
>>61583454
Which Rudd did with Nauru already in 2013
>>61583502
I thought he supported labor, not the greens.
>>61583436
But it did go to the private sector (e.g Telstra for access to their pits and ex Telstra fibre optics contractors and consultants). They've nickel and dimed the government at every turn
>>61583524
he does >>61583502 is just a fucking idiot
>>61583505
Not trolling - does it occur to the average Aussie to care about the concentration camps they detain the boaties in?
Because here we get an endless stream of shit for our detention of immigrants and they're better off than most of our prisons (which admittedly themselves are quite shit)
>>61583524
mainly because labor will form government if people dont vote libs
>voting today
>see parties
>australian progressives
>socialist alliance
>Socialist Equality Party
>australian sex party
>drug law reform party

>>61583194
>It's a good thing
Go away. Forcing people to do something is obnoxious.
>>61583546
nah fuck em
>>61583561
democracy happened.
>>61583546
No one really gives a fuck
Every now and again a story comes out about mass rape or violence or riots in the camps or some shit and it will spark an outcry for their removal, but it ultimately fades into obscurity
>>61583561
>drug law reform party
>help end marijuana prohibition party
i unironically voted for both of those lol
>>61583546
Not really
They care more if they die in our shores
>>61583503
>i trust the libs to not fuck up the economy
>i know absolutely nothing about economics but have completely swallowed a meme
>>61583546
Yes. A huge number of people are appalled by our treatment of refugees but sadly the idiocy of the uneducated masses mean that no mainstream politicians are prepared to take a stand.

>>61583561
Move out of melbourne m8, I haven't seen any of those soapboxes out. Saw the majors and the Christian Democrats, not even the greens.

interesting point. that would be awesome.
>>61583651
I wonder who is behind this post
;)
>>61583546
The alternative is having them die at sea on a leaky boat. Because we've fed the smugglers an incentive to keep the boats coming.
Fuck that, and fuck do gooders like

>>61583727
Would love to see them lead the ALP but it won't happen, not just because the right faction of the ALP would murder them first.
Shorten has done well enough in this campaign to keep his position, no doubt. Only way a leadership change could happen is if he resigned, which he won't do.

>>61583723
>muh greater good
entirely philosophically opposed to the rest of modern philosophical thinking. as a society we generally don't accept these kind of arguments ie: sacrificing a few for the supposed good of more people (pretty debatable anyway) but for some reason its acceptable in this circumstance.
>>61583723
The only reason why it's justified as preventing drownings is because you use it to create doubt in people with souls.
>>61583741
I would have gone and found another booth if mine didnt have a sausage sizzle going

Yeah, you're right. In a perfect world your perspective would be completely unchallenged and you'd get everything that you want. Do us a favor, pop round to the coffee shop, get yourself a babyccino and settle down. Nobody cares about your supposed moral superiority you absolute cunt, welcome to democracy.

That doesn't make any sense when the libs have done nothing but fuck anyone who doesn't have a juicy 6-fig salary, fuccboi
Damn why the fuck everyone putting major parties in their first choice? Everyone can't stand the major parties and we have a voting system that allows you to try other parties first so why?
