The article clarifies he means switching to OPV, but it sure as fuck sounds like he wants to go to FPTP, and I reckon he absolutely would. I’m actually frightened.

You know, I’m starting to think that maybe this guy kinda sucks
I wonder why he considers preferential voting ‘corrupt’?

Corrupt is any business making donations. Major donations carry an ROI for donors of 1:100 in terms of contracts or favours

Let’s not forget that it was Labor that did a 10 seconds to midnight introduction into parliament of full preferential a few years back. As it was Labor who changed the system when libs and nats merged back in the day.
Because we need more of these treeless outer ghettos dominated by big business to stamp out any last presence of culture and community..

I think only voters should be able to make political donations.

Geez they are really trying hard to show everyone exactly who they are and what kind of future they want. A future where citizens have less control and the government serves private interests before public benefit.
I’m baffled how anyone aside from a racist boomer with severe cognitive decline could see this party/policies *(if you can call slogans policies)* and support them.
So many people are making decisions that they won’t have to live with the consequences of yet my generation is going to be stuck fixing for **decades**

Wowsers. So we’re heading right back into Joh Bjelke-Petersen days then are we? Goody. That will be economically successful then and wonderful for stale pale males. Bravo David and the LNP. I love the modern state of Qld. Jokes on us.
Get breeding and baking scones women!

Jesus. They’re going hard aren’t they. Almost unelectable if they weren’t about to win.

As a migrant (albeit a long time ago), I am a bit perplexed as to why an uniform voting pattern was not defined in the Australian constitution and left to states. As a mover from the Southern state my observation, it is bad that Qld doesn’t have the upper house which in Vic and NSW has a moderating influence and radical changes to laws (left or right) are not easily possible.

Given Labor built their election war chest for decades on the back of union dues. The alternative shouldn’t be banned.
But Labor do love double standards.

Tony Abbott showed us who he was and won. Then people claimed to be shocked he was a flog.
David will win with a massive majority and claim a mandate to do whatever the fuck he wants too.

Lets not overlook [The Guardian’s report](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/sep/23/developer-linked-donors-give-more-than-500000-to-lnp-and-labor-amid-warnings-of-failing-ban) which found that LNP and Labor have received more than 500K in developer donations through loopholes in these laws

Both sides put fingers on scale on that one.
