  1. THE MAGIC of #PreferentialVoting.

    Australia has preferential voting so a person can make their #vote transfer to another candidate at FULL VALUE.

    We just tallied quotas of minor parties that were good enough to be placed ahead of #majorParties and Greens.

    The quota was exceeded in EVERY state!

    So if everyone who voted for quality #minorParties numbered as many quality parties as they could, we'd have 12 #independent minorParty #Senate member in parliment.

    Your preferences matter!

  2. Now our Senate voting process has a arbitrary, obtuse call to number at least 6 parties above the line.

    They could have done this while retaining #PartyPreferences, but they didn't because anyone who looks at how preferences flow will tell you that numbering only 6 parties will steer votes towards the two #majorParties.

    The #forcedNews media are trained not to draw attention to things like that.

    Divide the peoples' #votes for minor parties — and rule.

  3. Please boost if you may know someone in SA.

    As stated, approx. 70000 votes were "exhausted" (read: wasted) in 2018 because instructions on the ballot are designed to favour #majorParties.

    Federal #election instructions are slightly better, at least telling people to number at least 6, but can also mean minorParty votes will evaporate if they don't pick enough (read: most) of them.

  4. Australia's Identify and Disrupt Bill is an attack on the people. It allows #police to hack you without adequate protections.

    Use #flightMode to #protest.

    It was hurriedly voted into legislation by the two #majorParties on 25 Aug. This coming election put the #majorParties dead last — not just last of the minimum, six votes.

    BARNABY JOYCE: I'm not fake, I'm just big-owned.

    This coming election put the #majorParties dead last — not last of just six votes.

  6. This week in #Australia, laws have been rushed through parliament by the two #majorParties. It allows the "#MinistryOfTruth" (below) the ability to hack into accounts, "change" or #memoryHole data.

    Greens party senator, #LidiaThorpe, says "…this bill enables the #AFP and #ACIC to be 'judge, jury and executioner'. That's not how we deliver justice in this country."

  7. More police powers, less protections

    Draconian laws have been rushed through #Australia's parliament by the two #majorParties. Allowing authorities the ability to hack into accounts and "change data".

    Senator in #Victoria for the #Greens party, #LidiaThorpe, says "…this bill enables the #AFP and #ACIC to be 'judge, jury and executioner'. That's not how we deliver justice in this country."

  8. (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)
