All state/territory and federal elections are always held on a Saturday, and have been for decades. We also have “compulsory voting” (i.e. you get fined if you don’t)…
Turnout is, as a result, usually very high.
This is still the result.
7/8 states and territories have centre-left, or hard left governments. The remaining one is not really centre right, either. It’s just a different party, but really, policy is almost indistinguishable…
The point of democracy is to placate the people with the illusion that they have a choice or control over the government when in reality they have zero choice or control over it
This is happening in Australia…

I'd consider contacting my MP about this but there's not chance they wouldn't vote for it so what's the point.
Well yeah, but you're Australians. No offense
