A Brief Summary of EVERY POLITICAL PARTY In Australia 2022 Election Edition | AUSPOL EXPLAINED

What do the different political parties stand for? What are the major, minor, and micro parties promising this election? Well here is a few dot points for EVERY SINGLE FEDERALLY REGISTERED POLITICAL PARTY IN AUSTRALIA! Some are very straight forward and some have vast and complex policy platforms that I could only fit a fraction of in this episode.
This is a summary of a few key issues - without any commentary on whether those policies are good, bad, or even practical. It's entirely up to you, the voter, to be informed and express your opinion as you see fit at the ballot. Also, just because I mention an idea or policy for a group of parties doesn't mean other parties don't also agree with it - a lot needs to be removed for the sake of time.
If you think I've missed a party: no I haven't. You're thinking of a state registered party, one that doesn't exist anymore, or one that changed its name. I assure you, I was thorough! I even briefly explain Teal Independents, even though they're not a political party.

Cool cool, can you do the same kind of video but with all the parties that don't exist anymore? Like the Australian Communist party that was dissolved in 1991.

[@guillermo.mserrano]

I'm not Australian, but the Victorian Socialists sound to me like by far the best party around there together with the Socialist Alliance. The 90% tax shouldn't be seen as radical because in anti-communist 1950s USA the highest Federal Individual Income Tax Rate was also around 90% (I don't know what marginal means, though). And yes, the Sales Tax or however it's called in English is classist and even some liberal (economically right, such as the Spanish government in 1911) governments have abolished it for being so backwards. Free quality public services, democratic control of companies by workers, etc. It just makes sense. The Greens are the best major party and I'm quite happy with their policy objectives, but approaching climate change without also fully addressing the root issue, capitalism, isn't enough. Their social democratic and green reforms are very good, but the Socialists' ones are more thorough and intersectional. Also, addressing the climate crisis from an economically centrist of centre-leftist standpoint will just produce very poor and insufficient results.

[@000Dragon50000]

@@drake1896 For something to do. Trial runs of liveable unemployment support still show the vast majority of recipients returning to work. A few studies even show a slight INCREASE, although that seems to be more attributable to ending mutual obligations style systems. (Which are counterproductive because the stress of meeting a quota and the exhaustion of the extra paperwork can cause unemployed people to settle for subpar job openings out of desperation, and then end up back on unemployment later as a consequence of it.)

[@bronwynloechel8403]

Thanks for adding chapters to the video, super handy! Edit to add: it's not your responsibility to do it, but the UAP's promise of capping home loan interest rates really needs a disclaimer. It's not currently possible for the government to regulate interest rates, because this is the RBA's responsibility. To do this would require a huge change in the law and what the RBA is and does, and would increase the wealth gap in Australia by either driving up inflation or stopping banks from giving out mortgages altogether.

[@stoopidapples1596]

[@bellingdog]

Actually inflation has greatly increased under an RBA. The idea of personal income tax, rather than tariffs also belongs to the idea of a centralised bank controlling monetary policy. Also, what is the point of an RBA, when they set the cash-rate, only for banks to be 50 times higher than the RBA rate (see all banks offering 4.99% fixed home loans when the RBA was at 0.1%)

When I was looking into the Australian Citizens party, the one key thing i noticed that raised a lot of alarm bells for me was their 9th policy on their website which states that they want to promote the "One China" policy in order to reduce tensions. As much as i like some of their other policies, that's a big no-no for me

[@warlordsquerk5338]

Yeah and given how China threw Pakistan and Sri Lanka under the bus when they begged China to help them out of their serious economic woes... well... after they spent so long kissing up to China it goes to show there's not much point appeasing them. Dealing with evil monsters like the Chinese government will ALWAYS be feeding the crocodile and hoping it eats you last. And given China's dangerous interaction with one of our military vessels and even plans to build a military base within striking distance of the east coast well... any genuine thoughts of keeping them at bay forever by appeasement are just wishful thinking.

So if GST is "scrapped" the government would just bring all those taxes back.... and it would no doubt cost us more ('cause the government don't ever lower taxes or charges when they make changes). So it wasn't just a straight 10% on top of everything that existed - although that didn't stop businesses for taking advantage of the situation and upping the their profit margins amongst the price changes as most consumers had no idea what Wholesale Sales Tax was really.

that was great and well presented but what happened to Australia one?

[@Iceman_HSV]

I was planning to throw away my vote but now I will reconsider. Thanks for pulling this information for your audience. I still have some reservations about these points being promises that government won't follow through on. I am kind of hoping for a hung parliament as it might get some useful changes in parties people might not consider otherwise. Doing great work for politically unmotivated/unsure citizens like myself.

You cant actually throw your vote away, anyone you vote for have preferences and if the party you voted for dont win, and you didnt put down any preferences, your vote goes to that parties preference, so technically you cant throw a vote, you are voting for someone. So do research and care about what happens to the country and people who live in that country.

I think they may have meant they were going to donkey-vote.

[@Baelfyr]

@@kashiichan fair enough, but even a donkey vote is still voting for someone, and if you are gonna take the time to go out do that, just take a little more time to research what you might want from a government. Its once every three years, its honestly not that hard and people complain. I just dont get it, i mean, its easy for me because im invested in politics, i mean i subscribe to multiple channels that talk about it, as well as party members youtube channels, and i will watch the parlimentary recordings on occasion, but you dont have to go that extreme to be vested in how the country is run and the trillions of dollars of tax money being spent.

@@Baelfyr parties don't choose your preferences anymore. If you only put one number down and they don't get majority on first preference, your vote exhausts.

Is there a chance of getting another one of these vids for each state as the elections are happening? Like in Victoria, for the 26th.

[@AuspolExplained]

Sorry, I don't have the time for state by state ones. I wish I did

[@Jenkowelten]

I'm subscribing

This video should be mandatory for all before voting.

[@purpleturtle395]

Finder have a great resource to organise your senate voting! It's called 'Senate Voting Card Creator'

[@bethdumont9020]

This should've popped up in my feed before the election, not 4 days after it.

[@AuspolExplained]

Don't worry I'll make another one in 3 years and you'll be ready

[@S14AA]

Awesome next time I'll watch the video before I'm walking put the door to vote. Got to give up on cramming 😆

[@jemma4697]

Thank you so much for this!! It's my first time voting and idk anything about politics so this really helped :)

Although having one of the single best policies on offer with the Tobin Tax, the most noteworthy thing about Australian Citizens Party is they are Larouchites, and one should really have a look in to Lyndon LaRouche before throwing any votes their way.
