AMEN Pauline, I'm with you and thank you for feeling our pain and desperation. With what we have experienced and been through with Labor and AnAl, I think a 2 year starter term is enough time to prove themselves, then they can be voted in to do 3 years, or voted out and we start at 2 years again. I agree we the people should vote for who is Governor General. In fact we should have a vote online for all major decisions and money spending, everything that affects us and our country. We should have a say in, and democratically majority rules decides it. You and One Nation have my vote forever more. I hope we get you in power Pauline. Australia needs you and your truth, transparency and wisdom.

[@johncorlett3699]

streamlined quarterly referendums with simple honest no bullshit questions, on major policies and aims. ie, do you want the govt to build nuclear power , do you want australian taxpayers to send a $ billion to ukraine, should australia spend $billions on nuclear subs, didital id, digital curency etc

[@GEMelleeMaynopenottoday1133]

I can understand Pauline’s frustration with the voting but I have to agree with my wise, late father who said that many Australians would be too lazy to come out and vote if it wasn’t compulsory. We could just become apathetic and the turn out could become pitiful - especially if the footy was on. A fixed three year term sounds good!

He was right about lazy people not voting but wrong about the outcome. If voting was not compulsory we would get a government elected by informed people rather than idiots who are forced to vote.

[@noweternity3101]

@@sidecarmisanthrope5927 Do you think this has worked well for America? 🤔 If you have to pay taxes why not in voting, at least it is your decision to do something about the outcome? 🤔 Are we so uninterested now that we don’t care at all? 🤔 A sorry state to be in. 😑

[@sidecarmisanthrope5927]

@@noweternity3101 : Fortunately for the rest of the world, America is not the only country that does not take away your democratic rights to decide whether or not to vote. You contradict yourself. If you are forced to vote then it is NOT your decision to do something about the outcome it is the government's decision to keep the two major parties in office. Most democratic countries do not force you do vote against your will as they see that as being anti democratic (and rightly so). If you are forced to vote under threat of penalty then you are not voting in a completely democratic election. Choosing not to vote is in itself a vote of no confidence in any of the candidates. And, it does work in the US as well as it works in Straya. Both countries have a useless leader, so there is that.

Since taxpayers present and past run this country, this 4 year term by politicians can only be passed by voters,NOT politicians. As an actual fact, a lot of us want the federal parties dissolved, deregistered and form an entire new governing system that works for taxpayers present and past, our border and our miltary. We are way over this merry-go -round of federal parties coming in and out of terms like a "old dunny door blowing open and shut in the wind". We want our taxes reduced and we want our country back.

Voting is not compulsory in Australia. What is compulsory is attending a voting stand and having your name ticked off. You can then walk out the door having dropped the voting slip in the recycling bin. Having our names marked off in a national role call is compulsory. This role call is a way to check up on the whereabouts of the citizens and possibly used for statistical purposes. Who knows. But it is a deception when they say voting is compulsory.
