I am giving my Preference to the Australian Party

1 Comment


Why the left should support Katter’s Australian Party – The Drum Opinion (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).

 

Let’s look at something even more fundamental, too: a strong belief in parliamentary democracy. The Australian Party strongly opposes the current two-party system where Labor and Liberal MPs are forced to vote along party lines in all matters – even where it can be demonstrated that it is directly against the interests of an individual MP’s electorate. Labor actually enshrines this in its constitution. It’s plain wrong: MPs should always vote in the interests of their electorate, not according to what factional bosses or Treasury officials dictate.

So, if you’re truly left, and you’re still keen on sticking with the Greens, please do. But make sure you give your preferences to the right party. Preference the party that agrees with the left on biofuels, coal seam gas, empowerment for our First Australians, policies to support an equitable distribution of income, collective bargaining, bank lending that favours families and small business, more money for public hospitals, and public ownership rather than more privatisation.

  1. If people want real change send a message loud and clear to the other parties you are sick of them taking us for granted and being two heads of the same beast and give Ausparty your primary vote and the others second.
    When people start looking past the scare campaigns and look at our policies they will see we are a force to be reckoned with. We are not ‘One nation in a cowboy hat’. We have policies and drive to improve Cairns and FNQ.
