  3. Maybe #Straya need to regime change the #USA and install a real democracy?

    #PreferentialVoting aka #RankedChoiceBallots

    #Voting on a Saturday, with a polling place within walking distance for most people, easy to #vote in advance, and not too tricky to vote by post

    and an independent federal body to draw electorate (district) boundaries, run polling places, and run the counting - like our #AEC aec.gov.au/

    The Yanks can skip the #CompulsoryVoting if they insist. But it is good for calming politics no need for the "bring out the vote" intensity with "or the opposition will eat your kids" madness. And it makes some fraud even harder to do - like voter impersonation or dead people voting - if everybody votes in every election.

    #Australian #democracy is not perfect, but i think we're probably close to the "least-broken"?

    Our worst problem is #mining company influence, to parties and the public
    🎶you're gonna get whacked, by the mining tax🎶

    The expanding #Green and #Teal #CrossBench is providing some push back on the #mining lobby's environmental bullshit.

    But we're still getting ripped off, if the government says we "can't afford" something, they're lying. We have an entire continent full of almost every mineral the world wants to buy, we just need to #tax it properly or nationalise it, not let a few individuals hoard all the profits.

    But if we went full محمد مصدق or #Gough #Whitlam … then our friends the USA might decide we'd picked the wrong government and change it for us?

    I don't necessarily want to change their government, I want to change how they elect it.

    a #TwoPartyState is not really any better than a #OnePartyState

  4. CW: Who would firebomb a comedian? The friendlyjordies saga 1/2

    Comedian, provocateur, YouTuber, muckraker & investigative journalist #JordanShanks (aka #friendlyjordies) had his house #firebombed a couple of months ago. A long list of powerful interests have plenty of motive, given his history of exposing #corruption & abuses of power in NSW politics. (NSW is an Australian state with 8m people, 5m in #Sydney.)

    Shanks has targeted many of NSW's major industries: #coal, #banking, #construction, #media, #realestate, #gambling, #logging. He's been sued by a mining magnate #billionaire & a member of the state executive. He's exposed links between organised crime & the executive, shown how easy #moneylaundering is, triggered parliamentary questions about #NSWpolice abuses, & played a not-insignificant role in bringing down a popular premier & her deputy, almost causing a rift between the two parties that form a Coalition government in NSW. He's also covered corruption in federal parliament.

    At times, he has been nasty, misogynistic, racist & ableist. He's unashamedly partisan (pro-ALP). But there's no denying that while still in his 20s he has become a significant figure in #NSWpol and #Auspol, whose influence has been felt across many fields.
