"Funniest" thing about this is that the local (white/mixed) community in this area consistently vote against the politicians from the capital cities thousands of miles away, and yet their voices are completely ignored, when these decisions are made.
There's like, half a million people in North Qld, maybe more - less than 10% would vote in support of this, they will be objectively disadvantaged by it, and yet they are so disenfranchised by "majority rule" and proportional voting, that what they think literally doesn't matter at all, and a tiny, woke minority wins out once again.
Insane, divisive, and completely unsustainable. Yet this is where we are headed as a country, apparently...
New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, and San Fransisco should not be deciding anything for their states. I don't know why popular vote is allowed beyond a county level.
I mean fuck, look at what happened in PA. The vast majority of the state was red and yet it didn't matter. As it is now, cities are feudal castles and rural areas are peasant villages, and we all know who decides what in that situation.

We have the same problem here in the US.
Certain cities in certain states have way too much influence on politics at both state and national level.

We need an electoral college for deciding things at the state level, cities have more power than they should.
