Do you vote with intent? I would say that 70% of the population attend the booth to get their name signed off to avoid the fine.


I vote for who i think is the best candidate for the role. As i've got older i haven't been following as closely as i should. But i think every vote counts...

Just look at what happened in the US when you don't make voting compulsory :lol:

If we did here, the idiots from one nation might stand a chance :lol:

Petrol (turbo?) , hybrid, N?


Looking at Hybrid most likely but going in with open eyes as to what ever options are on the table


Is it plug-in hybrid or proper hybrid?


Proper. 10,000kms service intervals is low.

That's why 70% should STFU when they complain about politics in Australia then. :lol:

You can do an early vote these days without an excuse. I've always run with "I'll be interstate" but now you don't have to come up with anything.

They probably do, except the stoners and buffoons. I generally go in to get my name ticked off as whoever gets the nod is on a hiding to nothing, picking between Albo and Sco Mo last time was going to a thrift shop for underwear.

In saying that, I don't bag Albo about his decison making as I don't think the other pillock would've done anything different, we elected them so we have to tolerate their decisions.

I like what Mali brings to the table so I voted with intent this time.

Sometimes, but other times I can be reckless or negligent. Degree of impact is usually low or negligible.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Not sure this will ever be fixed. More money, nurses, doctors and still bad. People can’t afford to pay at the doctors so they go to the hospital

In all honesty, if I had to have voted in the US election I probably would've voted for Trump over Biden as much as I don't like the guy, Biden was just a creepy hair-sniffing weirdo who'd forget his name if it wasn't on a cue card.
