Climate Change & Environmental
Thats so 2018..
and for some reason, the world still hasn't ended yet…
Half of LA disagrees
Let's not act like Chicken Little.
The sky is not falling.
And truth is not the result of a democratic poll (especially in LA).Faulty and aging electrical equipment is not climate change.
Arson is not climate change.
@tenpercent: Fire intensity records broken,wind speed averages increasing, out of season fires^,length of fire season grows,soil moisture rates <%,rainfall deficits<%. Yeah, nothing to see here.
This trend is a global phenomenon.What's our excuse? Cycles? Better record keeping? Illusions?
Out of season fires
I don't think arsonists migrate with the seasons from Summer to Autumn to Winter to Spring and back to Summer again. Maybe I'm wrong?
This trend is a global phenomenon.
Is it? Where's your data to support that claim?
Who needs food anyway?
It is so 2018.. but we are still paying for it, where those money coming from for various Climate-related schemes/grants etc and then we competing with countries who don't give a rat
I’ll listen to the talk from the leaders of all the main parties, decide that they’re all @rseholes and vote for someone else
There's a party in Australia not run by an arsehole?
Yes, The Liberal Party is currently run by a massive (profanity)
He lacks the depth or the capacity to give pleasure to be that.
I live in an alp stronghold electorate. It doesn't matter who i vote for.
Any strong independents running? I live in a LNP stronghold but am interested to see if the independent candidate can make a go of it. I feel like our area just votes LNP as they are not Labor people, but could be swayed by a moderate independent as they aren’t passionately LNP.
lucky
When the two Mafia, I mean, political parties are the same then what difference does it make? If you aren't wealthy already then you're screwed, regardless of what mob wins the top marketing job.

Medicare for me.
Still annoyed about the loading for private health care.
If you have to drop out of private HC it costs too much to jump back in.
(Had big debt earlier in life and due to circumstances Private HC had to be cut.)
drop out of private HC
yeah so drop once and drop as long as you can, then later pay the penalty is fine
Can you clarify something for me?
Doesn't the LHC last 10 years and is 10% of the premium? So if you're paying $200 a month, the difference is it's $220 per month for 10 years and then stops?
I've read a fair bit but not found anything that is clear to me
Some missing from your list that are pretty big ones
- taxation
- international relations
- industry, agriculture, mining etc
- defence
- power (are we going nuclear?)
Others that important and worth considering
- tertiary education and research
- aged care
- the arts, film, music etc
- childcare
I want to see more specifically what candidates policies are on these and the ones you mention. So there’s ‘cost of living’ but what are the proposed solutions from each party. We have an independent running in our seat and so far it’s all about her brand. I actually want to know how she would vote on issues like negative gearing, pension age and assets tests, income and business tax etc. Also what are their priorities for funding, eg which industries are there inclined to direct subsidies too. What percentage of the budget goes to different sectors eg defence, and what is the strategy for defence.
I’m probably the minority here but I’m genuinely interested in the detail of the policies. But simultaneously I could ever vote for Dutton, I don’t like his ethics or previous conduct.
But the media says you should vote for a single reason so they can easily write stories. The gall of you to thoughtfully balance a range of policies and even consider outside the two parties!
I mean you already know exactly where the LNP sits with mining and renewables: https://www.royhill.com.au/gina-rinehart-shines-at-the-gala-…
Cost of living would have been lower with the Coalition because they are better economic managers, and other fairy stories.
and other fairy stories.

.will we make it to the next election???????
GAMEOVER MAN
GAMEOVERIt's bizarre that people choose "cost of living" to determine their vote. This is one of the things that governments have the least control over.
The only potentially effective (and only slightly effective) thing they could do is to make it more costly for investors to buy and sell houses through tax reform, which they've done in Melbourne, and which can slightly reduce house prices. But this strategy may also reduce the quantity of rental properties available, which can push up rental prices. I guess they can also restrict immigration numbers, which Labor has done to an extent recently, but then again if you restrict immigration too much in an economy like Australia's, then this has a negative effect on the economy because a lot of our economic growth is predicated on population growth.
It's my understanding that neither the Labor Party nor the Liberal Party intend to seriously increase the speed of housing construction, nor to seriously tackle housing prices (they say they will, but the reality is they will lose the votes of homeowners and investors if they implement any policy that significantly reduces property values) and they can't do much about the prices of other goods, so choosing "cost of living" to determine your vote means you're effectively tossing a coin.
Two thirds of the electorate benefit from continuously rising house prices. Do the math. Does anyone seriously think the Lib/Lab Party will ever do anything serious about it?
Yes, it is basically lip service. Promise and promise, but never deliver. The only thing they are really doing is what they've always done: pretty much the bare minimum.
In reality, since two thirds of the population own a home, and nearly one quarter of Australians own multiple properties, keeping demand high and consequently prices high is good for the economy because those 2/3 of the population who own a home are more likely to spend their disposable income if they know their house is worth a megaton of money.
The government will never do anything serious about house prices. At best, they will continue to implement policies that (kind of) help first home buyers get into the market, consequently adding to demand and helping prices rise more.
It's my understanding that neither the Labor Party nor the Liberal Party intend to seriously increase the speed of housing construction
The LNP decimated TAFE every time they are in office, why do you think the labour market for housing is in such a dire state? because Labor made many, many TAFE courses fee-free?
The ALP have gotten wages moving, inflation down, atop the 2nd best-performing economy in the world and you're here suggesting LiB/LaB SaYmE!!1!!
Housing Australia has selected an initial pipeline of 185 projects to potentially deliver more than 13,700 social and affordable homes across the country
How significant is 13,700 homes when the population is growing at 550,000 people per year, and we already have a massive shortage of homes.
The ALP have gotten wages moving, inflation down, atop the 2nd best-performing economy in the world and you're here suggesting LiB/LaB SaYmE!!1!!
It is incorrect to assume changes in the economy are mainly caused by government policies. They are at best a small factor among many trends in society that contribute to economic change.
Homes for Australia. We're building 1.2 million new homes. Helping you build, rent, buy.
- Training more tradies, funding more apprenticeships, growing the workforce
- Kickstarting construction by cutting red tape
- Providing incentives to state governments to get homes built quickly
- Delivering the biggest investment in social housing in more than a decade to help reduce homelessness
All backed up and dissected by the revered Alan Austin Labor’s housing strategy just added several flash new storeys.
The new ABS document shows 83,206 new home loans were approved in the 2024 December quarter, 3,229 more than a year earlier.
ABS head of finance statistics, Dr Mish Tan, said: “Demand for new home loans excluding refinancing rose throughout 2024, despite relatively strong growth in property prices. The value of new home loans during the 2024 calendar year reached $205.7 billion. This was 13.6% higher than the $181.0 billion value of new loans in 2023.”
They also announced this:
Then on Sunday, Chalmers announced a two-year ban on foreigners buying existing homes which may eventually become permanent. More initiatives can be expected shortly.
Anyway:
It is incorrect to assume changes in the economy are mainly caused by government policies. They are at best a small factor among many trends in society that contribute to economic change.
Your credentials to disagree with literally any economist with half a brain are?
@ThithLord: I'm a Greens voter, and would vote Labor over Liberal every time. However, I do not attribute all positive changes in society solely to government policy.
You asserted:
The ALP have gotten wages moving, inflation down, atop the 2nd best-performing economy in the world
I think even you would agree that wage growth and inflation are influenced by a range of factors, not only government policy.
I also think Labor has been too slow and cowardly to act on the housing crisis, e.g. too mediocre in pushing to rapidly increase the housing supply, while making no changes to negative gearing or capital gains tax discounts. Albanese is a property investor himself, owning multiple properties, so he is part of the problem with respect to inflated housing prices.
I'm a Greens voter, and would vote Labor over Liberal every time. However, I do not attribute all positive changes in society solely to government policy.
You're a Greens voter, so you attribute any positive improvements to issues just fixing themselves? Really?
The ALP have gotten wages moving, inflation down, atop the 2nd best-performing economy in the world
I think even you would agree that wage growth and inflation are influenced by a range of factors, not only government policy.
How do you come to that conclusion? I literally just stated that the ALP got wages moving, inflation down, atop the 2nd best-performing economy on earth.
For the record, Australians are now vastly better placed financially than in 2022.
Here are just 15 facts, extracted from over 30 variables we monitor regularly:
- Inflation was 2.31% in November, within the Reserve Bank’s optimum range for the fourth straight month. Near perfect. That compared with 7.38% two years earlier.
- Interest rates have now been in the optimum band of 3% to 5% for more than two years with no sign of exiting that range. The rate has not moved significantly in that time.
- Australians with jobs now number 14.6 million, up from 13.8 million two years ago.
- Job participation has increased from 66.6% in October 2022 to an all-time high of 67.1% in October 2024.
- Job vacancies in November were 344,000, down from 450,200 in November 2022, and well below the peak of 474,000 in the Coalition’s last month in office.
- Employees’ share of national income is now 53.5 %, up from 50.1% two years ago.
- The weekly minimum wage is $915.90, up 12.7% from $812.6 in 2022.
- Wages overall have risen 7.7 % over the last two years. The CPI has increased by 6.7%.
- The single youth allowance is $663.30 fortnightly, up 17.9% from $562.80 two years ago.
- The single-age pension was lifted by 11.8% from $936.80 a fortnight in 2022 to $1,047.10 today.
- Household wealth was $16.9 trillion last September, up 17.8% from two years earlier.
- The ASX200 stock market index was 8,294 on Friday, up from 7,328 two years ago.
- A thumping 1.18 million citizens returned from overseas trips in October, up from 722,000 in October 2022.
- Total retail sales in November clicked over $37 billion for the first time ever. This was $35.3 billion two years earlier.
- Spending on luxuries is now at a record 15.7% of all retail sales and an all-time high relative to GDP. See chart below.
I digress.
I also think Labor has been too slow and cowardly to act on the housing crisis, e.g. too mediocre in pushing to rapidly increase the housing supply, …
In the real world, the issue isn't that not enough $$ is being thrown at it. The issue is DIRE LABOUR SHORTAGE and DIRE MATERIALS SHORTAGE.
…while making no changes to negative gearing or capital gains tax discounts.
Every time Labor has tried to address NG and CGT Discount, the Australian populace have resoundingly said no f^cking thanks!. You know they platformed these reforms twice and Australia chose Scott effing Morrison? What else do you need pointed out to you to show that Australians resoundingly do not want to reform NG and CGT Discount. It categorically sucks, absolutely. I'm sorry you can't understand that Labor won't fall on their own sword to appease Greens voters who won't vote for Labor anyway, when it most-assuredly guarantees Labor being in opposition for another 10+ years.
How do you come to that conclusion? I literally just stated that the ALP got wages moving, inflation down, atop the 2nd best-performing economy on earth.
So you are literally disagreeing with me and asserting that government policy is the only thing that affects wage growth and inflation?
In the real world, the issue isn't that not enough $$ is being thrown at it. The issue is DIRE LABOUR SHORTAGE and DIRE MATERIALS SHORTAGE.
Again proving my point that social and economic changes are not solely attributable to government policy.
I don't see why you are dragging out this point when you seem to actually agree with me about government policy not being the only influence on social and economic changes, either that or you have difficulty with comprehension.
@ForkSnorter: If you cannot attribute any positive change to the current government, you're as good as an LNP voter.
How significant is 13,700 homes when the population is growing at 550,000 people per year, and we already have a massive shortage of homes.
You've been sold the 550000 number by someone spinning a story, presenting it as permanent immigrants settling here in family homes, reconsider where you get your info from.
In 2024 we had 667000 people arrive from overseas in Australia, who stayed here for 12 months or more over a 16-month period. In that same time period, 221000 people left.
Keep in mind that 465000 of the 667000 arrivals in 2024 were people on temporary visas; 90000 were visitors, 80000 were working holiday makers, 49000 were temporary skilled migrants, and 207000 were temporary students.
Of the remaining 202000 arrivals, 60000 of them are Australian Citizens returning home from aboard, 51000 of them are New Zealand citizens, and 91000 are permanent visa holders.
The vast majority of temporary arrivals are living in shared accommodation, you're not signing a lease or buying a house as a working holiday maker or visitor are you? Students are the biggest one, can definitely feel the impact in rent prices around universities, but there are hundreds of student accommodation buildings for that purpose too. From a glance, there are 132700 student accommodation beds in the country, so this surge is somewhat mitigated but more should absolutely be done.
The majority of the temporary skilled migrants, New Zealand citizens and returning Australian citizens would need general accommodation though, as would a lot of the permanent visa holders.
@Jolakot: I didn't say 550,000 immigrants. I said population growth of 550,000. This includes growth of the existing population due to births exceeding deaths. It is the official figure from the Australian Bureau of Statistics for 2024 (actually it is 552,000).
@ForkSnorter: I didn't say 550,000 immigrants either? I'm not really sure what you're correcting, annual natural increase was 106,400 and net overseas migration was 445,600.
Those newborn babies aren't exactly buying houses or signing rental contracts, are they? It's a bit silly to even factor them in for housing demand
@Jolakot: You said:
You've been sold the 550000 number by someone spinning a story, presenting it as permanent immigrants settling here in family homes,
No, I just got that figure from the ABS.
Those newborn babies aren't exactly buying houses or signing rental contracts, are they? It's a bit silly to even factor them in for housing demand
On the other hand, not factoring them into the equation indicates a lack of understanding of what is happening broadly across society when a population is expanding. At the same time as those babies are being born, families are expanding, families are upsizing to larger properties, people are buying their first house, children are reaching mature age and going into share houses or apartments, etc. etc. The growth over time indicates greater pressure on all these areas of the property market, and yes if net migration was 445,600 and natural increase 106,400, this indicates a worsening of the housing crisis, as it is extremely unlikely that enough properties to house half a million people were built over that period.
No, I just got that figure from the ABS.
The number is correct, but what the number means is what you've been sold.
News outlets parade it and the 445000 net overseas migration number around as if we need half a million new properties just to keep up.
The fact that 70% of those migrants are temporary migrants is never mentioned because it takes away from their message.
Greens and Socialist Party will be last everything else will depends on the policies that affect me
ultimately it comes downs to LNP and ALP both are shit if im being perfectly honest but its good both have pledged to boost funding to medicare would rather they boost funding to Allied and Mental health as well
As a Victorian im tempted to support ALP if the Federal government commits to funding all our over budget poorly manageds projects - State ALP in Victoria are hopeless but the state itself needs money - however i cant stand Albo and his Voice was a 'disgrace' bloke telling us to vote on a 1 page document when told it was 26-pages he said he had not even read it…..
However if the Federal ALP dont commit at least an extra 20-40bn to Victoria then i will Vote for the Coalition or maybe one nation as they are Anti permenate migration which is is the stance im increasing moving towards as it would fix most of the major issues we have in Australia
There are a few other small parties starting to get interesting as well as people move away from the woke narrative and moving towards a traditional nationalistic approch - in modern day society multiculturalism doesnt always esp cultures that refuse to change at all and want our country to be the shit hole they came from
Woke^
Don’t touch my franking credits
Isn't the cost of living mainly related to international affairs such as Ukraine, Israel, the Aussie dollar vs the US dollar, the trade war between the US vs Aus vs China, climate treaties and Trump? I don't think any of our incoming puppets can resolve much as end of the day they both behave same towards international affairs.
Yes that’s true BUT it doesn’t stop political parties from claiming that it is their opposition’s fault
The major component of cost of living for 2/3rds of Australians is housing (rent or mortgage). Demand for housing is one of the two major factors influencing housing costs. And immigration policy is by the greatest driver of demand for housing (not to mention everything else). So there's plenty that can be done.
And you need immigration. Keep in mind housing crises are also caused by a labour shortage, material costs, and availability of land with serviceable areas. Its not plenty that can be done, it's more like needing a correct balance of things and policies.
Energy costs also have a big impact on cost of living. The government can have a direct impact on that.
when is ?
keep negative gearing
negative gearing is safe as houses
yep people dont realised all our politician has multiple investments no way they will pass bill to demolish neg gears
no more gst for aliexpress !
Whelp, you just got my vote… Looks like my polling day is all sorted.
I have a few issues but my electorate has a large Jewish population and the sitting independent and LNP will fight it out over supporting Jewish vote and Israel 🙁. I believe Jewish activists have been both shrewd and successful at redirecting the conversation away from war crimes in Gaza and Israeli aggression in the region to antisemitism in Australia. Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism. The only concrete examples of antisemitism that I can see are the graffiti/attacks on synagogues in Sydney and Melbourne. All of those charged so far are white Anglos who have been paid to do it. So who is behind this? We don't know but unlikely to be ME true believers.
Consequentially we have deplorable decisions such as revoking the invitation to Sabsabi for the Venice Biennale and the NGA covering Palestinian flags in an artwork displayed. I'm really angry about this censorship of freedom of speech coming from ALP in their attempts to fend off opportunistic attacks from LNP.
I'm also disgusted by the binning of meaningful climate action.
My vote will count for nothing in a seat where it will be all about support for a regime whose leaders have been found guilty of war crimes.
I probably won't vote at all.You sound really racist.
I agree. Israel can commit genocide and we all have to look away lest anti semitic. What utter BS
When there is abuse against the POWs in Israel, the government put them in jail, then people riots and the government releases them, they are one special kind of people lol.
got subtitles?
username not matching with attitude
Can you "move" to a different electorate just the election season?
You need to change the address and then register with the AEC.
There are parliament members who do this trick to win election too, LOLYes, its related to branch stacking. Electorate stacking?
Just want to add-My biggest issue is also taxationc(in addition to Migration) which isnt on the list
When you consider cost of living think about the actual policies each party has to actually combat it for the average person. Don’t get caught up in the vibe.
I was looking into my cost of living crystal ball and this came up. Ubank: Our savings rates are dropping.
As previously stated, they won't revert the removed benefits for the temporary boost.
Given the LNP have chosen to go to the electorate with such a questionable personality at the forefront, I think it could actually come down to temperament and trustability - both things that Dutton lacks in spades
To think that Scomo got turfed by the public, Turnbull got turfed by his party, and Rudd got turfed by his party - over personality - and then someone who is 10000x worse than any of them could be elected, is horrific
He's also got a very efficient crystal ball>

Given the LNP have chosen to go to the electorate with such a questionable personality at the forefront, I think it could actually come down to temperament and trustability - both things that Dutton lacks in spades
and yet polls suggest it's about 50/50
Damning indictment on how miserable people feel about Albo…. no major crises (CoL notwithstanding), inflation moderating, and yet all political capital and goodwill evaporated in 1 termWhen the Press is against you it is hard to get the message out there.
Given the LNP have chosen to go to the electorate with such a questionable personality at the forefront, I think it could actually come down to temperament and trustability - both things that Dutton lacks in spades
Albo has never had a 'real' job or achieved anything his entire life also have broken about 15 promises he made pre election….Dutton isnt great but if your comparing him to Albo it is a much of a muchness to me (Dutton at least has built an family empire but probably via dodgy af means and insider trading)
the question is which is worse… not which is better
to me they are both better then Adam Bandt who is a terrorist support at this stage
Albo had a real job before he got into politics, worked as a research officer for a number of years, also has a degree in economics
Dutton hasn't even been elected yet, and he's already walked-back on an election promise: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-08/dutton-walks-back-pro…
Also wining and dining with Gina Rinehart: https://www.royhill.com.au/gina-rinehart-shines-at-the-gala-…
I had high hopes for Albo but he's been toothless this entire time, at least him and Trump get along. Really hoped the libs would learn from their landslide loss last election and put in someone likable, we all know Dutton isn't the best they have to offer, will never understand it.

I was referring to temperament and personality NOT resume
Albo has never had a 'real' job or achieved anything his entire life*.
I've pinned this on my fridge. PM of a country is a non achievement.
The biggest threat to us economically and fiscally is AUKUS.But both sides are balls deep in the USA bowels of war.
Pray for an extremely diverse hung parliament and we might get a lifeline.So vote for independents (not fake teal independents) and the minor parties?
What, like One Notion or Clive Palm Oils "Trumpet of Patriots"?
Oh sheet you're right. There's no other minor parties. There's no real independents. You changed my mind. I'm just going to vote for LNP or Labor. We're bound to get a different outcome by flopping between sooner or later. This time is different. /s
@tenpercent: How can you be sarcastic about whether there's real independents or not if you're using catchphrases like "fake teal independents"?
Are you the guy who decides which ones are real and which ones are fake?
@tenpercent: It takes me a bout a month to get my vote how I want it.You need the time to research where the preferences flow. I number every square. Don't just assume you cant't have your cake and eat it too. The world has raced to the deranged right. The REAL priority is to halt our slide into oblivion. If ppl can't do that then it's all good,innit?
dEmOcr@Cy
A word I don't think I have heard Trump or any of his knob gobblers utter since the election.Why would that be?
Why is Dutton more concerned for Israel than he is for Australia? Appeasing the war mongers again?The WARNING is don't just vote independent without KNOWING where the vote ends up.
You need the time to research where the preferences flow.
.
The WARNING is don't just vote independent without KNOWING where the vote ends up.
This is outdated and is now misinformation.
Only you decide where your preferences flow.For the lower house you must number all the candidates and you can do that in whatever order you please. Don't follow "how-to-vote" cards (even if your first preference personally hands it to you). Number based on your actual preference, not theirs.
For the Senate there is a minimum number of candidates or groups, specified on the ballot paper, which you must number above or below the line. If you stop numbering at say your 10th preference, then that is as far as your vote will flow. If your 1st, 2nd, 3rd,…, 9th, or 10th preferences do not get a seat using your vote, your vote is simply wasted. It does not flow on to anyone else.
anyone who isn't Temu Trump, Harry Potter actor, trump wanna-be, puppet PM.
AKA DUTTON.
The policies are pretty irrelevant as they're usually pretty lacklustre.
For me Liberals are just always worse/have awful policies so are automatically out. They don't have any forward policies beyond supporting rich/big businesses or old established fields like mining/coal.
Then it's just a matter of picking between Labor or Greens/an Independent.
For me Liberals are just always worse/have awful policies so are automatically out. They don't have any forward policies beyond supporting rich/big businesses or old established fields like mining/coal.
95% of LNP and ALP policies are the same - they are also both funded by big mining and gas companies
you can vote for who you like but your opinion is flawed and weird
Ill add most the independants are funded by billionars who are trying to bend the rule via getting political power (this also includes the Greens however to the Greens credit they dont accept mining and gas donations)
I personally dont have an issues with mining and Gas though and think without it this country and the things we enjoy would be no possible (ie free education) but that is my personal opinion
with mining and Gas though and think without it this country and the things we enjoy would be no possible (ie free education)
We do it completely wrong though. We accept a small pittance in return for multinational corporations raping and pillaging the land and natural resources and making mega uber profits (even when they fudge the books to avoid company taxes here). Saudi Arabia (Saudi Aramco) and some other countries do it right when it comes to benefitting from their own natural resources.
I dont disagree we need to tax billion dollar making companies more
But i disagree with people who are anti mining and want to shut down the industry ie the Greens
For the record our miners do pay there share of tax the question is should that fair share he a > % id say yes but im probably in the minority
Whilst many companies do avoid tax via O/s means Mike Canoon Brookes a know left wing billionar (Atlassium) only paid 17 cents to the dollar in profit whilst Handcock paid 30 cents to the dollar which is the top rate both made billions in profit
I'd tax these bumig companies 50% on any profit over 1bn but that is just me
Regardless you will find if you look at the financials the left and socialist are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to investing and tax paying the Greens have a number of members with multiple investments properties….but they dont talk about that

I am a great beneficially of the tax system, as the greens members you speak of, it is with this experience we can speak with authority and say this needs changing.
It's BS that I get so much tax payer funded deductions for my investments, it is unnecessary and and unfair. But all I can do is fill in my tax return with accuracy and pay the tax as required by law.
Am I hypocrite?
I actually tip my hat to someone who actively campagins a topic that hits their own hip pocket for the sake of the country. But you call them a hypocrite, interesting.
@Trying2SaveABuck: It would be hypocritical if the people were saying "I am a beneficiary of this law and I want to make sure no other people can benefit from it but I still will", but that clearly isn't what they are saying. Cloudy's comments are spot on.
How can someone religious not know what hypocrisy actually is?
95% of LNP and ALP policies are the same -
Aaagh yes, The weathered war cry of the right wing conservatives.Especially when ( and the often do) get caught out.
Aaagh yes, The weathered war cry of the right wing conservatives.Especially when ( and the often do) get caught out.
This comment makes no sense and it is actually both hard progressives and conservatives that complain both parties arent extreme enough
im going to ask a serious question are you a paid shill? like are you a pinky or on the payroll of the ALP in someway because your posts seem to point to that fact and there is a 'clear' lack of basic level thinking let alone orginal think processes….there are 'clearly' a few on here im just asking you are you one so i know to ignore you next time (not being harsh) but i just cant be bothered conversing with people on the payroll
have a good day regardless
If we vote for the same two major parties we can't expect a different result.

Why do you want to know?
