I think the biggest issue here is the presence and charisma of the person delivering the speeches.

I cannot fathom why a woman a year younger than me would want anything to do with the Liberal party.

But given the area she’s running in it gives you a good idea of her background and upbringing.

Imagine we had the infrastructure to let people get around at 45km/h on a cargo bike

I’ve done some campaigning for the Victorian Socialists so I follow their how to vote cards. Preferences usually end up with Labour over the Liberal party so it’s the lesser of two evils when it comes to the majors.

If you feel like voting isn’t doing much there are things you can do between elections. There are protests almost every weekend about Palestine at the state library, regular climate and antifascist protests, and there are a bunch of things you can do locally to help out in your immediate area.

My local bicycle users group constantly petition council to make the area more cycling friendly. They’ve had some wins with it as well and they probably don’t see themselves as a political group

I love how these stories are written in a way to just outrage people on Facebook
