Watch: Ain't That Swell // Crunch Time

This upcoming election may be of the vanilla variety: there are no ideological battles being fought, no big picture thinking to wrap your head around, and yet it may change the flavour of democracy in our wave-strewn land.

For the first time, Millenials are the largest voting cohort and pundits and punters alike are wondering if they'll tip the scales the way the Boomers did when they came of age. A voting majority cannot be ignored so how might that play out at the polls?

Vaughan and Jed head up Mackellar way, an electorate "that stretches from the wobbliest wave in the world at Curl Curl right up to the investment property capital of Australia, Palm Beach." Mackellar and surrounding electorates are where the independent surge first took place, with this coming election proving if it's an aberration or the new normal.

Geez Stu, I have to disagree with "there are no ideological battles being fought". There absolutely is. Unless we want Trump-style nonsense politics to invade our country, we must make sure the LNP are kicked to the curb in two weeks.

Both Trump and clown before him are "nonsense" to me. Albo & the bald guy are non-sense to me. TEALs also. My impression for my personal point of view is they are all foreign globalist puppets. I recall Albo, prior to being PM, after Israel's decision, was the first to suggest 3 or 4 month boosters for a useless fake vaccine. While Israel literally erases Gaza, Albo surrounds himself with Zionists while preaching a Two State Solution, which is contrary to Israel's viewpoint. Its OK, Albo bought a $4M whatever holiday or rental or whatever house overlooking Wilko's Left at Copacabana Beach and Wong bought herself a new house also. Albo vs the other guy makes no difference.

Sophie Scamps (failed) supporting censorship (failed Disinformation Bill) of the opinions of common people on social media; by doing so supported more propaganda power to the Mainstream Media; & gave the impression of unsure flip flopping about a genocide even though her husband has a law degree & she is a doctor. I guess she tried with Gaza but gave the impression of avoiding the nuts & bolts of International Law. What is this BS video? They are not "independents". They give the impression of globalists following a pre-existing international script. Don't vote TEAL. Sophie's hubbie is a home loans whatever (Avalon Mortgage Solutions).
