I hope our mandatory voting means we are less likely to vote Dutton in. Hopefully whats happening in the US is enough of a deterrent for those of us actually paying attention and not wanting that BS to rip through our safety nets. Sure if someone wants to audit the government agency with forensic accountants by all means, but we don't need the same BS that Elon is pulling and we certainly don’t need to be repeating any of the backwards US policies they are enacting.

Probably means more likely to vote him in with clueless people not understanding preferential voting or straight up voting liberal because the name sounds good and team blue is better than team red right?
