what's people's sincere thoughts on "sustainable Australia-UBI" party? aside from their obvious immigration limit being standard eco-fascist dogwhistle, basically all their other stated policies sound good actually? Obviously they could be full of shit about the rest of it since the core policy seems bad-faith, but i really cant tell if them having an extra couple seats in a minority gov would be a net good or bad

As more people switch to newer parties, everyone else sees the increase in votes, and they become more likely to vote for these parties themselves, in a virtuous cycle. It has to start somewhere; and if you choose to be ahead of the pack, you'll be making your future self proud. 🔮

Sustainable Australia Party used to call these "de facto standards" "#naturalMonopolies".

They used to argue that such natural monopolies must be made public.

They may still do, but we can no longer access their site as #cloudFlare blocks access to it. Cloudflare serve a number of other #minorParty websites, all of which are inaccessible.

Keep in mind, #Australia is IN AN #ELECTION, right now.

Talking about an #election in #Australia to imply the existence of a functional #democracy.

Our favourite part is counting the number of #minorParty websites mysteriously going through #CloudFlare and other #technoFascist services.

Our favourite part is knowing that our #elections are #rigged at the network level so #minorParty websites simply will not load, including the ones behind #Cloudflare.

Just like how almost all #Australia's smaller independent #banks are now going through Cloudflare, and now #unbank people.

Obviously we blame Russia, China, the entire continent of Africa, and Spanish-speaking countries for this.

Damn you, Venezuela!

WARNING: #Elections in #SouthAustralia rigged against #minorParties.

They've had 4 yrs to fix this. Noone at the #ElectoralCommision (#ECSA) has fixed #misleading instructions that caused 70,000 #votes for minorParties to be binned.

If you vote for a #minorParty you *must* number as many above-the-line as possible. Following their top instruction and numbering one party, means your vote is #wasted if that party doesn't get in.

Govts in #Australia quietly abolished #PartyPreferences #post2016.

(3/3) You may think a #minorParty can buy a #television or #radio #commercial, and indeed that can, but mysteriously on the day of the broadcast #theProducer will axe the commercial, usually citing "#QualityConcerns".

This is the devolving state of #elections in Australia, and just a few of the ways #foreignInterferance by the likes of #RupertMurdoch (#USA based) and other #corporateFascists, pervert #democracy.

There's more, and we can elaborate.

(2/2)…they beat the #thirdParty into #compliance (the #AustralianGreens are generally in this category, and you'll see them speak in the language of #identityPolitics to the same drum-beat as the #majorParties).

For those parties that are not controlled by corporate interests. They are simply ignored. If they can be #ridiculed in a single sentence they may do that, but even that is rare.

They may gather #intel on the #minorParty by staging #interviews, but won't air the #interview.

They…(2/3)

Hi Brian, there is no 10% GST on fresh food, and milk, bread, dairy, even minimally processed meats, sanitary items. We can thank a #minorParty, the #AustralianDemocrats, for ensuring that a few other essentials were added to the exemption.

Processed foods do attract the 10%.

Pre GST there was a #luxuryGoodsTax for #displaysOfWealth items, like #yachts and #sportsCars, that was unfortunately brought under the umbrella of GST.
