The state of Australian politics is a complete and utter shambles. Every single Australian should be thoroughly embarrassed by this. In my opinion mandatory voting is up there among the very worst, most destructive forces any democracy has undergone.
- doctor_eval 5y agoThe politics of half the Anglosphere is pretty much a dumpster fire relative to Australia, so it’s hard to accept your position. In terms of destructive forces in Australian politics, I think the lack of media diversity is far and away the greatest threat to our country - far ahead of requiring the governed to have a say in who governs them.
