    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.

      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.

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.

      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.

Also make sure to never disclose the business ties of ministers and the various "side incomes" (our favourite name for bribery here) of parliamentarians.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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

    Man, I love Zoë and Ellen trading off each other's performances! I know they're both busy women, as are you all, but it'd'd be sweet to have these ladies work together more again. I get that it's a full-time gig tryna deal with the crises and catastrophes political, economic, military and religious elites have created for our species and life in general, so it's difficult to mesh people's schedules, but there's a magic between Ms. Burbidge and Ms. Wilson that transcends the ages. In Canada, where, hypothetically, we have a third-party option, we're more or less down to a timid kid whose time is well gone, and a professional stooge who's never had a real job in his life.

      Yeah, the current selection of "leaders" here is such a shit-show. Only two have ever formed government, but when every election is a choice between mediocrity and disaster, parties do not actually get better, they just keep trying to leverage their bullshit sales pitch into absolute power which they do not deserve.
      First Past The Post voting is an abomination, but politics in the "anglosphere" generally has really degraded into a troll parade.

    Great to have both Zoe and Ellen on screen together, even if it's tough to keep up with them sometimes. So many politicians seem addicted to the power to make rules (and punishment), as we have also seen in the USA. The idea of holding power at all costs then becomes paramount. Every campaign reform policy is subservient to this addiction. The money spigot must be turned off.
