      the ALP have a very active and VERY bullshit inclined social media gang. They’re LNP Lite, which should be obvious to anyone not living snout-in-trough on neo-con welfare(negative gearing, franking, etc).

      Nah mate. It’s a patently untrue comment that deserved a downvote. ‘Bahhh both sides are the same’ is used to drive voter disaffection, dismiss guilty actions and lets the exact cycle of behaviour op is complaining about continue

        Criticising major parties = “dismisses guilty actions and perpetuates behaviour”? That is some very strange logic.

          You’re not criticising though. You’re equating. Pulling the whole business down to a zero-sum draw

            I didn’t “equate” anything. That was an entirely different person.

        Don’t put words in my mouth; I did not say both sides are the same, I said the LNP and ALP are functionally the same.

        They both pussyfoot around substantive change for the good of the country in favour of partisan bullshit, moreover they do it in the pursuit of their post-politics ‘special adviser’ bribe payouts.

        I voted ALP and volunteered with them for years, but they never made good on the deal Hawke-Keating made with the unions, and the unions never recovered from that(the CFMEU lockdown ‘protests’ were embarrassing).

        You want an Australian politician you can trust, vote for the Greens, they’re transparent about their fundraising, don’t take corporate cash and clearly aren’t eyeing off their borrowed-gold parachute the moment they win.

        The ALP and LNP are the same because they share motivations, namely feckless greed.
