Got another spam text from the “Trumpet of Idiots”? You're definitely not the only one. This political spam wave is loud, shady, and utterly unwanted. Clive Palmer, stop trying to buy Australia; it's not going to work! #AustralianFederalElection2025 #AusPol #TrumpetOfPatriots #NoClivePalmer

Spent some time this morning planning my vote for the Australian federal election on May 3rd. This is worth doing in Australia because we have a fairly robust preferential voting system.
I learned that some parties are cynically appending their official party name with bait phrases. Almost caught me!
It's challenging to arrange the lower part of the ballot but I'm feeling more well informed now.
