>75% approval ratings must mean he did something right.
>Which for a labor leader is fucking with my head...

He did the same thing Abbot did by pretending to be a low-class idiot while actually being very smart and highly educated. He was actually the exact opposite of Keating who really was lower class and uneducated (but smart) but acted posh.
Bob Hawke started, founded or expanded a tonne of left-wing policies and institutions, like health-care, environmental protection, anti-discrimination, stuff like that. At a time when it was badly needed.
He also did a lot of "right-wing" stuff, partnered with Keating who was the one really steering all the economic issues, like deregulating everything that was regulated (airlines, tarrifs, everything).

This balance of economic liberal and moral liberal with only government intervention in the 'big picture' stuff like environment and human rights, was a really weird thing at the time. It's also how he had such massive support across the population.

>cunts actually were the party of the worker and not the party of the union bosses and gibs-grabbing socialist scum
This isn't really true, Hawke was literally a union boss and president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, he was elected (internally) to Labor party leader as a compromise between different factions, from memory it was the Victorian right and the Qld Left pooling votes to beat the NSW right. I could be wrong about that but Bob Hawke was primarily supported by the Qld left and he got one of the big state right factions on board too.

Basically Bongs, just not cucks.

>working at a polling place for the first time tomorrow, anyone here have any experience?
It's either busy or boring, I haven't worked inside, just been outside them all day doing how2votes.

Ever played diplomacy? The "fun" part of the job is counting votes, just don't get ticked off when people challenge your count, it's nothing personal. You count, you'll fuck up occasionally, the party hacks will challenge it and you fix it and move on. Sometimes, there will be disputes that nobody agrees on, call over the person in charge and let them do whatever. A few disputed votes here and there almost never make a difference so it's not high stakes.
First time scrutineers and occasional retards will sometimes act like every vote is a life and death matter though, their own party colleagues ought to keep them under control.

>Our politicians should take a page out of Harrold Holts playbook and fuck off.
If you didn't hate politicians, you wouldn't be Australian.

>MAJOR PARTIES GO LAST
OP here, I endorse this opinion.
When I said 2nd, I kind of meant that they'd only be one indy worth voting for since the others are either lunatics or literal ghost candidate preference b8 for the big parties.
If you can find more than one indy/minor party worth voting for then by all means, vote for as many as you can.
Really though, your first preference is the only one worth shit and then it's just a matter of which big party you put above the other.

Who are you retards voting for?

how does a dispute occur? just when the writing on the vote isn't clear enough?

Please just kys, faggot

>Duopoly will win either way
You're not wrong but it's never 100%, getting that % up as high as possible makes things hilarious when you get results like Gillard's minority government (unironically the best government in years because politicians could do fuck all with it).

>a blue MAGA hat
Gimme a fucken break.

Based. Conservative govt by default

The parliament is made up of all who are in it.

>Balance of power

nah you're right. he's being a pedantic fuck.
second = last
thing that matters above all else in our system is that you dont give the duopoly your [1] money.

as close to Hitler as possible, given my shit choices
got Anning's party for the senate, but I'll probably have to go independent for parliament

Im not wrong about duopoly guys

>how does a dispute occur? just when the writing on the vote isn't clear enough?
90% of the time, you just counted 5 votes for candidate A but the 6th was candidate B and you put it in pile A out of habit or falling asleep or muscle memory.
Sometimes it's unclear but not usually. Then you get party hacks who want a vote challenged because it doesn't look enough like a number or something, they're being cunts but whatever. You'll be given incredibly clear rules on what counts as a valid vote and what doesn't. Disputed votes are usually isolated and the party senior scrutineers can deal with it all back at the AEC in the big recount a few days later.
Any close results get recounted anyway so you don't have to worry much, the AEC is incredibly professional about their operation and this is coming from a former party hack.

Sometimes the challengers are basically falling asleep or seeing things too because they're staring at white pieces of paper moving at high speed for an hour or two and you start seeing things. So sometimes people will challenge and then when you stop and hold up the ballot, they'll be like "oops nevermind" and you keep going.
Usually, the scrutineers will basically agree on most things so it's rarely a tense or dramatic situation. I've seen some arguments happen though.

haha such asspain from a soft cock zoomer that wants to keep status quo and lib/lab as the default

Its time for your daily reminder:

Technically yes, in the truest sense of the word. As opposed to government by Conservative party who are actually pretty radical and anarchist.

no
how they should be in power

One big dead narcissist.

>Fuck Hawke, someone should piss on his grave
Seriously? Why?
His popularity was amazingly high and I almost never hear genuine resentment of his policies, especially so many years after the fact when they've nearly all turned out to be exactly the right thing to do.

What did he do that makes you so upset? Can you explain what you think he did wrong in clear terms or specific examples?

gave Ayers Rock to abos

>in power
As in how much power we should send to the electric chair when we fry them?

It's funny because Abbot stole his whole persona from Hawke but without the vision and consensus building that Hawke was so good at.

>One big dead narcissist.
Hawke was pretty humble actually and he did have a lot to boast about.
youtube.com/watch?v=PFgTt9KkpIY

Now his treasure/deputy PM Keating OTOH...you'd be dead right there. Not that he wasn't a good PM too.

he can't but i can.

dergulating financial institutions alongside the rest of the neolib world order's restructuring of the economy has put us in the same boat as the rest of the west on the road to complete corporate neo-feudalism.

not to say that im sure he had bad intentions or only did bad things but there's my critique.

As is any of the major three including those who legalised gay "marriage".

what was hawke's vision?

-anti discrimination
-increased female worker rate (breaking down the family unit and reducing labour value by oversupply)
-increased immigration (breaking down in-group ethnic cohesion and reducing labour value even further)
-unionist (government should be the union, not bought out by globalist interest as hawke was.)

He was a shabbosgoyim, piss on his grave. What he helped to give away was not his nor the boomer population's to give away.

acting all aussie while being a boomer jew
it get's pretty tiring

Post family member testimony or fuck off

The other two aren't nearly on the same level of faggotry as The Greens™

no as them having control of your tax dollars and complete legitimacy as your leaders both domestically and forign

you can fit all these points into the neolib narrative.

So? What was anyone else going to do with it? Break it up for souvenirs?
It's a rock in the middle of nowhere, only good for tourism and not very much of that because you have to fly for hours to even get there which makes it fucking expensive tourism in a fucking desert.

>dergulating financial institutions alongside the rest of the neolib world order's restructuring of the economy has put us in the same boat as the rest of the west
He definitely did the deregulating that you describe, I think I disagree with the outcome but we agree on the basics. Keating took that deregulation and turned it up to 10, then Howard/Abbot up to 11 and broke the fucking knob off.
I'm struggling to recall who castrated the industry regulatory authorities, I think keating left in some anti-competition/collusion powers but it was Howard who defunded them, something like that. I'd put the blame more on Howard and maybe Keating.

It needed a kick in the pants during Hawke's era because the regulations where staving off competition and allowing the institutions to just do whatever they wanted and treat the customers as dirt because they had no choices.

>dergulating financial institutions alongside the rest of the neolib world order's restructuring of the economy has put us in the same boat as the rest of the west on the road to complete corporate neo-feudalism.
no matter which liberal or labor poof was in that would have happened
he was just another puppet, a very good one tho, probably the best ill give him that

Tall poppy syndrome and shit beer for all

>what was hawke's vision?
I meant he championed big picture issues that weren't high profile before. He could have left Tasmania alone to dam whatever it wanted, could have let Kakadu be mined, stuff like that. His big issues were all basically new at the federal level and people might have talked about them a bit but they weren't mainstream until he made them mainstream. And now, all subsequent governments of both sides are basically lining up on one side or the other of his policies and most of them, are supported by both sides with only differences in degree.

>who cares if chinks buy up all our farmland, the drought is going to turn it all to dust anyway
Not only did he give Ayers Rock to abos, but he gave it to the wrong fucking tribe.

>no matter which liberal or labor poof was in that would have happened
because they both transformed into neolib parties at that time. see and despite any carrots Labor tosses to the proles now, they haven't stopped being neolibs.

It's the eternal battle between the left and right factions of Labor.

Labor right usually wins control of the party and they toss out a few policies from the left faction to please the masses while running their pro-corporate agenda.
The tories do the same thing except use racism&religion instead of welfare&gender to keep their own masses happy.

Ask people living in Tasmania and NT today whether they're sorry the river and national park were saved.

The absolute size of this lads cranium.
