This myth that both parties are as bad as each other is bunkum. If both parties are the same why bother changing your vote. It's promulgated by the conservatives to maintain the status quo where they have a stranglehold on power.
What they are doing to this country is so destructive. Much more and there will be no way back and we will wind up as an irrelevant backwater whose only value is its willingness to bend over and be raped for its raw materials.
To take just one example, our coal reserves have zero value in a world that doesn't burn coal to produce energy. Even right now technology is being produced to generate electricity without burning fossil fuels. LNP policy is to continue with coal, defund education so that we lack the skills to contribute to this technological revolution, and deny us a fibre network fore internet delivery making us physically unable to head in this direction, while the political elites run around wasting money on useless junkets for them and their families and friends.
The reality is that the only alternative to an LNP government is an ALP government or some sort of coalition of the left. I am now a member of the ALP even though my position in the political spectrum is well to the left. Politics is about compromise and it is when extremists come to power who refuse to compromise at all that bad things happen.
Back in 2011 I gave the electorate the benefit of the doubt. The poor people were just hoodwinked into believing the LNP myths racism and misogyny by a conservative controlled mainstream media. It's not their fault I thought. The forces of light just need to campaign harder.
I've now decided that the people really are sheeple, too stupid to think logically, recognise evidence- based reasoning, easily frightened through misinformation and post truth reality put out by elite-controlled MSM, and at the end of the day too lazy to be bothered to think. I have some sympathy for them. Really their reality has been formed by the wrecking-ball extremist neoliberal policies pursued by western "democracies" since 1980. This discredited ideology is based on myths and false assumptions. I've been rattling on about this fact for more than eight years now.
As a card-carrying member of the ALP I am in a position to know a few things you may not be aware of. The ALP has reformed itself to some degree at least. They are about grass roots campaigning now and there are significant points of difference which should be considered when deciding who to vote fore. There is an outstanding progressive policy agenda but the following needs to be implement in addition to this.
The ALP needs to throw off its starry-eyed grass-roots political naivety and realise how biased this so-called "democracy" has become towards the ruling kleptocracy, keeping it perpetually in power to the extreme detriment to our society; our spiritual and material well-being. They should aggressively publicise this simple message:
"The LNP is the party of the rich. They represent the interests of the rich. If you are not rich NEVER VOTE FOR THIS PARTY"
Things change and people need to change accordingly

Pardon me but my soapbox just disintegrated
