- The Australien Government and the Opposition have made an ad about electoral reforms, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative (so they're hoping you don't see it)

Welcome to our latest instalment in our ongoing series about Two-Party Shitfuckery.
Some of you have asked us about the name of this proposed legislation . There isn't a name yet, because it hasn't yet been introduced to Parliament. But there are media reports of an imminent bipartisan deal to introduce such a bill in the coming days/weeks/months (see links in video description).
We have an idea of what the so-called reforms will include, based upon the interim report of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters (whose recommendations are cited in this HGA). The final JSCEM report was released today. And to be fair, some of the proposed reforms are good (eg. real time disclosure of donations, lower disclosure threshold...). And yes, we do need to address the undue influence of Big (*cough* Clive Palmer) Money in our elections.
But bundled-in with those good proposals, are some proposals that would drastically tilt the playing field even further in favour of incumbents, and the major parties in particular - making it almost impossible for newcomers to raise the necessary funds to compete against them in future elections - thereby entrenching the major parties' duopoly. And the major parties desperately need to rig the rules in their favour before the next election, because their primary vote is at historic lows. If this trend continues, pretty soon they won't have enough people voting for them to form a majority government ever again.
The major parties have enough numbers between them to pass this bill without much debate once they introduce it to Parliament. That's why we made this HGA now: to help people understand the negative implications of these proposed changes to the election campaign rules. . We need to make it easier for newcomers to participate in our elections; rather than discouraging participation and thus entrenching the two-party duopoly.
So if you're wondering what you can do about this - the best thing right now would be to help raise awareness by sharing this HGA with your friends, family and pets.
And if you'd like to learn about the proposed reforms in more detail, I've included a bunch of key references in the video description.

Screwing Refugees? Australia is literally an independent continent surrounded by the ocean on all sides and is void of any natural land borders. Under international law I find it extremely difficult for someone to claim refugee or asylum status as justification to travel several thousand miles away from their native country, while crossing an inordinate number of "stable countries" just to stop off in Australia.... They're not refugees. They're economic migrants. Stop being disingenuous.
You forgot to mention that "we're also WEF and UN stooges" lol THAT"s the definition of 2 wings of the same bird
Thanks for keeping it up. Please speak about what's happening in Panama! It's even worse than what happened to Timor Leste!
@@keizan5132
what's up with both of them? I'm outta the loop.
@@RAM_845 so you're *_not_* here for actual information rather than conspiracy-theory nonsense then?
Could have just as easily been written for the UK two party system.
bipartisan politics are fundamentally flawed
And the United States.
Pretty sure we wrote the book on 'shitfukery'. [1984]
Or the US.
Although for the US the agreements would have been veiled behind screaming insults at eachother
You basically need a 5th of the population just to be on a debate for America.
Thank you someone finally saying it… 2 party system is not democracy. It’s the bare minimum for apparent choice.
Google "Tweedism".
I like to say "the illusion of choice". I first found out about it when researching the American party donations. I assumed Republicans had big corps backing them so they can win the election. You should have seen my face when I realised, Democrats were getting more funding from all sectors, education, health and industry. That's when I realised the game. "Why help my side to win, why not just buy both sides and win" said corporations. And then it all made sense why America has made such little progress in terms of basic laws like free health care, fix to student loans and more.
It was probably democracy for about 5 minutes after its conception, then they went for a liquid lunch together and laughed about the public footing the bill.
Well it has some benefits. The people who made the video see the two parties agreeing with each other as problematic but I actually think that a rule through consensus is far better.
TBH there is not one single country that calls itself "democratic" that is, in fact, a true democracy. Having the right to vote does not make a democracy.
Im starting to see a pattern in the two party system of America, Britain and Australia.
Luckily your Serbian system is still honest, fair and free
@@ButcherOfBeek Never said it was. In fact we have it worse because our politics are dominated by one party that is led by people from previous governments.
They are all English speaking colonies?
@@nekilik7886 Oh and even if it would be the case: One bad thing (which isn't even remotely comparable and demonstrably GEOGRAPHICALLY distinct in this case here) doesn't make the other bad thing better. That's a childish fallacy.
This butcher-guy exactly shows us what the problem is with the truth behind his public comment (which we should be grateful of! hehehe): He is so deluded, that his EFFING FEELINGS dictate his choices (in politics) ... instead of using reason as advice, like a sane person would do. And your absolutely normal(yeah, cynical. I like it!:) ) and satirical, humorous comment was somehow a danger for his worldview and had to be immediately attacked. Including you ("your") as a person and why not even a whole country. Imagine what BS besides whataboutism is going on in such a brain. These are exactly the people who digest every lie from their own corrupted two party system members without any critical thinking.
"Help, please help, my daughter. Fire!!! Fire!!! please help", @ButcherOfBeek: "Why? There was once a Serbian (randomly chosen, not of relevance, just for satire!), that didn't help. So why should I? BURN!".
That is their mindset and that is why we have to protect our democracies and keep them healthy and well-fortified against stupid influences like populists and populist-victims like him. Because what those people do not grasp is that even if they use 1 Million bots on social media, are loud and annoying as hell ... they are a effing useless, delusional, embarrassing and powerless MINORITY that show all those "properties" of irrelevance in REALITY when it comes to democratic voting of educated normal people. Yeah ... without a effed up party system and legislation as described in this video;)
Have a good one, Nekilik and greetings from Germany ... where we exactly know how "ONE PARTY SYSTEMS" work (or really don't ... **evil-grin** hehehe)
What about Canada and New Zealand?
1st honest government ad i've ever seen
It’s honest to a point but they don’t reveal the corporate govt registered to USA and what that really means…

I LOVE the calculator 😅.
I've suggested before to sell the calculator in the shop.. dooo eeet.
As an American, I'm flattered that Australia is adopting our style of government
The UK says Hi
It’s like we’re adopting the worst of both cuntries.
Yeah, nah, your system is still way more fucked up than ours.
I really hope you are being flippant. American government is the most undemocratic flavour of government ever created. 31 flavours of ice cream. 2 political parties. It is literally an autocracy.
😢
Amazing. The U.S. dearly needs one of these videos.
Best video you've ever made up till now. You somehow managed to be bipartisan while also being completely accurate which is an insane feat.
I hope you know how important your videos are. They are a vital part of unfucking this dystopian system.
or at least documenting it
They rarely ever tell you how to unfuck the system. Just that it is fucked. It's more alarmist bullshit.
they're just propaganda for labor
Sounds like you have a freemason infestation, just like here in Canada, where our collective assholes are resized in similar fashion regularly by the Federal government. Its obvious al this shitfuckery is decided in masonic lodges, then forwarded to Parliament hill. No wonder they want to take all our weapons away.
Nah they're probably like, making these for a laugh and have no idea the impact they're having. /s
As a non-australian, I see this ad applying to most countries nowadays. We live in some dark times
Most countries with 2-party systems, to make the point. That's not most countries in general.
@@jounikSo, countries with 2 predominant parties?
Change the names you got America
@@morninboy In the case of Wackyland, you can add gerrymandering, voter suppression, voter disenfranchisement, and non-mandatory voting to the list.
@@morninboy my understanding is the united states of America is already a two party system
Amazing, you are doing a great service to Australia and setting the way for many other countries. How difficult should it be to run a country with the interests of the the people at heart and not the big companies. Power wrongly understood is blinding and unhelpful.
We toss around the phrase "lesser of two evils" so readily that we risk forgetting that it can be "the not-so-bad vs. the truly horrific".
Oh look - the UK government just doubled allowable campaign spending when no-one was looking!
They've also already severely curtailed our rights to protest, and are working on some other shitfuckery to effectively outlaw strikes. And they've been putting the 'n' in "cuts" for the past 13 years they've been in power.
Same MO as Thatcher, but it's worse this time, since there's nothing left to sell off to their disaster capitalist buddies...
They're learning from the pest, errr, best, it seems...
Usa just did away with any donation limit so you can have the 2 party candidates spend more money on campaign than what would be needed to house all the homeless
Inflation, they can't be affected by it.
Harper rigged election contribution laws in canada because they allowed 3rd party's to get $1.25 per vote(all parties) and said it isn't fair for "other canadians to pay for someone who votes" WTF does that even mean. Instead he raised the tax return to 75% on first 400 donated, 50% on 400-750 and 33.5% on 750-1250. So if you donate 1250 you get 600 back, if you donate 400, you get 300 back. This is great for large donations, but the third parties get 20 and 40 dollar donations, and usually election years, not each year as a tax break. So the group actually ripping off tax payers are the two largest parties whos donors give them the largest donations, and usually every year.
So instead of parties receiving tax money based on their ideas and people voting positively on it, $1.25 per vote per year, instead we have to subsidize the shit and shit light party to $600 a year for maximum contribution(or double if you throw in for your spouse) and its called more democratic.... And people believe this BS.
That 1200 subsidy per family for the wealthy is nearly 1000 votes cast by a third party voter under the old system, without contributions. But this is more fair the shit party said. Moneyed interests ares more important than actual votes.
It should be mandatory to watch this video before you vote
Nah, the government would fact "check it" and call the video "manipulative and undemocratic" then ban it outright
Half of humanity is blind. The other half is stupid
A fucking IQ test would help, certainly would here.
I dunno, if people saw only once video before they voted, I'd like it to be thejuicemedia's "Hung Parliament" or "Preferential Voting" videos so they understood how to vote strategically for good candidates, and direct preferences how they want, not how the "How To Vote" card tells them to..
Better still, start a new party that we can vote for that doesn't come with baggage.
The calculator scenes always get me.
Honestly, this as works for so many different countries, not just Oz. UK and US also have the corrupt two party shittery that needs to be for rid of. Keep up the good work!
What’s even more amazing is we have a proportional voting system that should be way better than the systems in the UK and US - and yet somehow we end up with exactly the same type of corrupt shitheads running the country

Nope, travel is only for the rich now, because you're a prisoner in this country. I'm sorry, did I say prisoner? I mean you're a totally voluntary worker. I wouldn't even mind their policies if they just made things like meat and flying illegal for everyone, but no, they still want to make sure they can get it, just not anyone else.

It's kind of scary when you get more information from satiric content creators like this, jonathan pie and others than from investigative journalism. That is truly awesome work here. Thank you.
But the only information in the video comes from those very sources presented in a comedic fashion?
People getting their political opinions from satiric content creators is even scarier.
@@TheJazsa80not really, as long as its not like the onion, satirical comedians are doing a better job at informing and also letting their own biases be known.
News networks like the bbc pretend to be neutral when they're not and will thus only pretend to shit down the neck of the ruling party when they fuck up.
The only investigating most of our journalists do these days, is what our elites/Government's *-holes taste like
@@unusualaussie9606Not really. Parliament notes/live video/reports/laws/recommendations/budgets are a thing. 🤷
Bravo! Well done! We need one for what's happening in the US. It's exactly the same !!!
THANK YOU! This is happening all over the world! Ausis not alone in this, UK, Belgium, Germany all implemented these laws... 'to limit foreign donations' but we all know why.
In a Dictatorship, Evil people rule, in a Democracy, Evil people rule and make you think you had a choice...
What about a 'benevolent dictator'? 😁
And the people will bitch and whinge and blame politicians for their problems.

@@samkarn google is censoring.
Lmao, in our school, they try to teach us that not having an absolute majority is a really bad thing. As a guy who lived in germany for 3 years, I can tell u, it's way better to not have an absolute majority.
It still didn't protected your economy from destroying NS pipes
I remember being taught that, and then after figuring out how power dynamics worked, was like "No its good because then the corruption has to hit all the parties to get what it wants instead unilaterally infecting one".
Like literally this is what happened in Poland and it took 8 years and sheer fucking luck to get to the stage where they can't form a government and yet they're still trying and there is a phantom of pre-term elections hanging in the air.
If they got a third term in this shape, they would just cement it the same way Australia wants to.
They don't teach us that here in Canada, since we're more used to minority governments.
Germany's system is so much better. I mean I don't think their politicians are, but the rules set is much less of a clusterfuck.
If one party gets an actual majority of support then it can claim a majority of power. Not like here where they just hand absolute power to parties that are marginally ahead but still far from a majority of the vote.
So many things are hilarious in these HGA parodies (and they're also informative and accurate) - but the calculator gets me every time! I frigging LOVE the calculator! 😅
What honesty? Truth! WTF! I can see the these videos vanishing quickly and the platforms claiming they never existed! Corporations won’t stand for government honesty!

The 2 party shit is a problem all over the world. People get so caught up in team 1 vs team 2, they don't realize both parties are fucking them.
Yep.
A lot of countries have coalition governments, where the conservative party doesn't care much about who the junior partners are as long as they don't gang up on them.
A few countries have one party with a majority by itself so all other parties are limited to making policy proposals. Those tend to be surprisingly stable. They also tend to be called dictatorships (or democratorships if someone is feeling clever).
And some _are_ (military) dictatorships.
And there's one absolute monarchy.
The form of government is unrelated to the government's policies, but to how entrenched they are. Unsurprisingly, where the same politicians stay in power, the policies don't change either, for better or worse.
I have no idea what is going on with the Zapatistas.
Anyway, the Janus party system is widespread in the Anglosphere, but not outside of it.
@@davidwuhrer6704 A lot of Americans refer to.the duopoly as th Uniparty

Some people are enjoying to be fucked by their parties so much they even want more than two doing that simultaneously. Bend over a little bit more and prepare your anus for more than two!
I love your videos. I wish more people would watch this stuff because THEY WOULD FINALLY UNDERSTAND. They would realize what a joke politics and state/country leadership is right now. The system is perverted, crooked, twisted, it has been allowed to grow into a monstrosity for too long.
Just clicked on the channel- this isn't just a random one-off:
**It's their entire formula**
Definitely subscribing!
Even fact checked news publications can't get it as right as this. JuiceMedia for PM.
"Fact checked" is just code for "Approved by the ruling class"
I'm not sure "approved by Rupert Murdoch" is really the same thing as "fact checked".
Greetings from Germany and EU gov, we additionally recommend adjusting the minimum percentage of votes required to get into parliament. That way, if a party is too small to make the cut, those voter's seats go - you guessed it - directly to the big ones, as god intended. Also make sure to never disclose the business ties of ministers and the various "side incomes" (our favourite name for bribery here) of parliamentarians.
haha fuck that sounds depressing

and always remember kids - we dont have corrupty but lobbyism - totally different shit
@@fodz9246 it is an important rule tho. One of the reasons the Nazi's could take power was, that the german parliament was incredibly fragmented and slow. Add to that an economic crisis and suddenly voting for the facists who promised swift reforms became much more appealing.
Bless you for bringing more light into this world. Where do I donate.
We need more creators doing excellent satire like this. Love your content
Holy hell, I was stunned when you mentioned the bipartisan deal to screw over the minor parties. Along with anti-protest laws, they've been doing the same things here in Argentina, and so many countries. It almost seems coordinated.
Didn't you guys just elect an extremist?
WEF & WHO
That's because it *is* coordinated.
They learn from each other and we keep letting them get away with it, minor parties and independents seem to be the only chance we have, most of them are dodgy as well though.
@@Skobeloff... The very political system fosters corruption and subservience to our economic elites. Minor parties could help in the short term, but they'll be corrupted eventually, if they aren't already. Can't win an election without wealthy backers.
The only way out I can see from this is, either to replace our current economic system for one that is more democratic (socialism), or democratize our political system (lottocracy, participatory democracy, etc). Until then, we'll have to live like this.
Applies to Canada perfectly. Every party keeps promising voting reforms to have proportional vote, but once they’re elected, they refuse to implement it because it might actually make them lose power (Canada’s Liberals and Quebec’s CAQ both did this within two years).
Canada can't talk, Justin Trudeau shouldn't even be Prime Minister, how does someone get the lowest amount of votes, yet remain in power??
That's a pretty big red flag, like Russian levels of red flag.
Liberal NDP "coalition"...
I remember in 2019 when the Liberals were like "we'll make Museums free!" and the Conservatives were like "We'll make camping free!"
truly just one party pretending to be two that "disagree" with eachother...
Canada.....40mn acres of Boreal torched and counting..........so Biden can get his subsidized battery minerals. The caligula rules in Canada.
The only actual democracy is a direct democracy, at least thats my opinion. The only country to have this sort of system seems to be switzerland, which does WELL for itself. But of course, our governments don't want us to know about this.
Flawless Presentation makes this 100X more enjoyable

A video on what happened to The Australian Democrats would be interesting, one moment they were "keeping the bastards honest", the next moment they were apparently sleeping with the bastards, and then they all but vanished.
They got the traitor treatment after flipping over to push the gst through.
Bastards ate them.
Mr Mitchell History might do such a video. The essence is that they didn't relay enough to their voters that they were going to do a deal with Howard on GST, so their voters thought "what's the point" and most moved to supporting The Greens.
Easy..
A minority 10% party (like the Greens now, the "protest" vote) tried to "play Government"..
Agreed to ONE deal with the Devil (John Howard) to introduce the GST..

what works in one place will work most everywhere
Fun fact: in the USA it's very hard to register as a third party in New York state I have read...so the two party system is alive and well in the USA as well.
The winner-take-all voting system basically guarantees results ultimately settle on two sides: the one winner, and the collection of all losers. The Australian Parliament has to add limits on competitors on top of it because preferential voting allows for third parties to sneak past.
True and it's been that way for a while now. We get the illusion of choice,no more,no less.
It seems the one counterweight Australia has against this is its use of preferential voting (both what would be RCV/IRV and STV here), which I would credit with making the third party opposition an actual electoral possibility.
Seeing how we don’t really have even that in the U.S… I guess it shouldn’t be surprising why Australia is closer to bucking the system than we are.

We have the same two party system in Britain but voting makes no difference anyway.
Was thinking his was the U.S. but then I remembered we've already done this.
If you are watching this, you are the resistance.
Vote Independents
@@gmack.Greens would be fantastic but unfortunately we've been brainwashed to thinking they are in bed with Labor and are anti progress.
They're actaully pushing for positive change for many reasons and have sound fiscal policies.
We have been told Liberals are the best with money but they've been continuously putting us into debt for decades 🙄
@@gmack. Not really WEF have Hanson Young as one of their Young Leaders/ Trojan Horses.
@@gmack.The greens suck they literally blocked the government from passing housing reforms because it was to politically independent.
Unfortunately not all constituents actually HAVE an independent candidate. I wish mine did. 😒
independent candidates are easily sidelined or corrupted if they win
real solution is creating parties that are subject to membership dictated policy, not the leadership taking corporate cash
to enable that you need a new noiseless information system that allows millions to analyze and reach consensus on policy proposals without manipulation or censorship, read the book Art of Consensus which is the basis of the new Constructive Web
The revolving door of Labor/Liberal opportunity really needs to stop. I really think of our Australian political system as, like in China, a ONE Party system, but with a “dichotomous face”. Cheers
Might as well be a one-party system: at least we'll save ourselves from a lot of these performative two-party shenanigans.
Actually 2 is better than 1, because you always have a scapegoat. With only one, you’ll know who to blame.
yep. it's the illusion of choice. just like many things in late-capitalist society, you're given options for something with the same end result so you dont realise you have no choice. doesnt matter what bank youre part of, the same rich cronies own them all, and the same with politics...
It is very much a one party system. If you only had the policies to go by you could't tell Labor and Liberal apart. I always thought Labor was supposed to represent the working class. Now they stiff the blue collar workers by letting in 600,000 immigrants to appease big business.
Fantastic. We need you in the scabby old UK.
Another classic from TJM! You guys rock!!🎉
What a perfect way to say the terrifying truth in a darkly humorous way.
Australian political system, we welcome you to the brotherhood. Love from the US political system.
sigh… you’re right 😞
Informative & enjoyable, as always ❤
The only political vids I watch are Pauline's cartoons and you... keep up the good work!
Thanks. I'm a senator in a small Caribbean island. Was wondering how to do this! New subscriber earned.
Which?
@@slyar 🇱🇨
@@sor8104 Is your name actually Soren C or is that a pseudonym?
@@slyar first name Soren, last name C__________
@@sor8104 Nice
Authorised by the Department for Rigging the Rules of the Game Instead of Trying to Win it by being Less-Shit - priceless!!!
And here I thought I KNEW about politics. Now I am discovering through this Educational Channel that every time I think I know something the rules have changed, or the plan was re-planned, or the shit just happened again. Thank you ladies. XX
As an American - quick, Australia! Save yourselves before it's too late!
We've been stuck with supermajority two-part rule for nearly two-and-a-half centuries, and the last decade will tell you about how well that's gone.
The effort gone in these videos is amazing ❤❤❤
I love it when the ladies team up to lay the smack down.
Girl power
I needed to watch this. Thank you for the upload and your sense of humor is true and yet sad. But I still laugh and love the vid
Its nice to see its the same all over. Keep up the good work.
"yeah nah" in stereo...
epic
remember folks just vote for independent candidates
Unless they're crazy people! Not every Independent candidate is good - so always check their policies/history.
No just vote for good people with integrity regardless of party. Nobody has to take sides but the major parties have turned politics into a sport.
Ask Argentina how that went.
People have always said Pauline Hanson is a nut job, because MSM have always told them so. She has been calling out government corruption since day dot, and everyone ignored her! Look where we are today.....I think it's time to give her a go.
Voting for Independents is like herding fkn cats.. One trick ponies who are experts in zip..
NONE of them have any expertise in fkn Governance.. Or International Diplomacy, or Economies of Nations. Or anything of actual substance..
The Teals were voted in ON ALP POLICIES.. Just they couldnt vote for the ALP in those Liberal seats, so they voted Teal.
Great informational video. I had no idea if HOW ELECTIONS WERE RIGGED EXCEPT FOR VOTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
Regardless of whether it's politics or commercial industries.
Americans think centralizing and combining things into one is a good thing.
It just means that it's a monopoly and the competition can rig itself even if they are at odds with each other.
Small distributed businesses and removing the two-party system would be a step in the right direction
I'm an ex-pat Australian who has lived abroad for 10 years. I'd forgotten how good Australian political comedy is. Thanks for the reminder.
As a current Australian it's also nice to be reminded. It's been a while since anybody's bothered, at least not with this level of production.
Love it! Please don't stop doing what you do. This stuff really needs to be heard...
Its staggering how many people praise these videos for being satire and informing them despite it not doing either. The juice has really tapped into a rich vein of angsty cookers of both extremes of politics, all they need to do is link to a few articles claiming them as sources and hope no one reads into them. They even recycle the 'joke' over and over without even any alteration and people keep calling it satire. Truly a leading marvel of the modern misinformation world we live in!
What about it is misinformation, and why? Genuine question, if it's not true I'd like to know so I can be more well-informed.
I know for a fact that the US faces a similar problem (albeit for slightly different reasons), so I guess it's not immediately obvious what about this is incorrect as someone unfamiliar with Australian politics.
@@thedarter Take a look at the premise for example, the 'election rigging' notion implies that somehow the vote will be tampered with, but when they go on to describe the content of the law change its about big money donations having its influence cut. Notably big money donation influence is something you can find this channel criticizing in pretty much every prior video, now its being blocked or reduced this change is a bad thing?
They describe this 'grandfathering' as something sinister, but when you look into the details these organizations are acting as a bank for the respective major parties rather than say relying on an actual bank which would imply concerns of financial independence from that bank and also worse interest rates. Not grandfathering them would force the parties to cut loose all the donations they've received and haven't spent yet. The notion that other parties haven't got similar organizations to hold their money is more a reflection of that parties popularity and management than of the majors.
Finally nothing specifically changed for independents, they've always had a hard time of getting donations this hasn't changed, their donations have always typically come from individuals rather than businesses thus this hasn't changed. Unless they're arguing that independents should be able to drink from the same big money trough that they criticized the major parties for and are now shutting down, which would be hypocritical in the extreme, but part for the course of HGA.
Absolutely brilliant! Your video. Not the new policy.
You guys are geniuses. I wish this format existed for other countries as well.
It would be great in China and Rus land.
@@rogerjamespaul5528probably not a good idea if youre chinese or russian
just another proud export from 'Straya - it's not all minerals and sea sick animals.
Been saying the 2 party system is a crock of shit for decades,and people scoffed at me, told me I was stupid.
Ah well, I'm on the downhill slide,with any luck I'll be dead before it gets really bad.
You're lucky. I have about 50 or so more years in me of witnessing this clusterfuck. 🙃
Don't worry you're not alone,I've been doing the same thing.
I'm barely in my 20s and even I can see the 2 party systems Crap
Totally agree. In fact, with the way wages and cost of living is going, dying is pretty much my only retirement strategy.
I wish I could support Juice Media in some way.... but see above.
Bang on the nail, describes our corrupt government criminals
More facts thrown at you than the last 10 year's of "News media". Good stuff.
I was stunned that Albanese cut the number of staff independents could have almost as soon as he won the election. I thought if ever there was a moment for a Labor head kicker to really give it to the Liberal party it was right then. With Teals holding the seats the Liberals needed to win if they ever wanted to be in power again a little bit of help could see the Liberals go poof. Instead he helps the Liberals!!!
Oh I was so naive.
He's almost as thick as Dutton.
Like I said.
If voting made a difference, they wouldn’t allow us to do it.
Voting does make a difference. That's why they try so hard to rig it.
I think Mark Twain originally said that, I say it to all my friends who don't realise that Corporations run the planet, not Governments.
In Australia, you don't have to vote if your sick on election day. No doctor's certificate is needed, only your word.
As Stalin said, It is not important who votes, but rather, who is counting the votes.
I do not think you live in Switzerland, I guess.
This is a great video that will help get rid of the false dilemma fallacy. There's always a third, fourth and fifth option. VOTE INDEPENDENT like your life depends on it because it does.
I see that Australia has been learning from the USA.
It gives me such heart to know that there are other fellow humans of integrity like these ladies.
in itself a funny statement! these ladies "represent" the govt shiv in our backside
Integrity. You know these ladies are just moving their mouth. It's a voice over to promote leftist ideals. You've been hoodwinked.
Amazing content, keep it up!
That was awesome you guys are the best
I thought you guys only did satire, but you nailed it.
Glad to see everyone understanding that Left or Right are just two Wings of the same bird.
So the rewards of the two parties isn't just in the USA!
The dubbing is really well done
This is so true it's sickening we all need to stand up to these lying thieves and there nothing but puppets 😂
We all go on strike for a month and pay no mortgages or utilities... thatll work
Idk man, people can't even get basic spelling and grammar right. How are they supposed to do anything about this?
Get out of and stay away from the military.
Good luck, country full of election DUMB SHITS!
@@alicianah8352 WHAT MILITARY?? We have the smallest amount of military and cops as it is. Look for the figures and be amazed we haven't been taken over yet. If the people in this country were not so DUMB we could take over and the military/cops combined couldn't do S&%T without firing MASS rounds. Imagine the F&CKED reaction in the world to that.
If the YT algorithm weren't also controlled by big money, maybe this awesome truth video would get to everyone, as it should...Great work! Hits the nail right on the head!
UA-cam doesn't really care about interfering in elections outside of the US. This video was on the front page for me in Canada.
@@mattc9598 Very interesting...thanks for the info!
This is a great ad. So honest, it is hard to believe!
I will votes for these two blokes if they run
Atlest they are honest and what they are doing .
Thank you for communicating this so effectively. It's important it's widely understood. The major parties don't care to share this, for obvious reasons. Lack of transparency, obfuscation of the truth = strategy.
