@Qldaah the Liberal Party chooses bigoted, misogynist fascists like this. The USA is a warning against voting for politics like this.
The 2024 New South Wales council elections are happening today. Don't forget to vote, and get a Democracy Sausage at the exit!
Notably, this election will be affected by an administrative bungle by the RWNJ Liberal Party of NSW. 140 candidates for 16 councils failed to get their paperwork submitted in time so aren't on the ballot.
Also notable, the ballot this year has approximately 120 conspiracy-theory nutjobs, anti-lockdown nutjobs, COVID-denial nutjobs. It's an extraordinarily high number of "fringe" candidates.
Vote-counting will begin at 7:00 tonight, with results for most seats to be announced tonight. Postal votes and seats that are so close they'll require a recount could take a fortnight or more.

The #NSW state government has announced it will put a record $3 billion dollars of funding into public #hospitals in Western #Sydney.
The multi-billion dollar investment will be allocated in the state budget for spending on building new hospitals, and upgrading existing hospitals across greater Western Sydney.

#Logging in #nativeforests is set to be banned in #Victoria and #WesternAustralia in 2024, leaving the #NSW timber industry asking questions about its own future. #nswvotes
Over the past eight years the #NSW Nationals have slowly lost a third of its seats, a path back will be equally fraught #nswpol #nswvotes #NSWElection #nswelection2023
