How should I vote in the next Australian general election to address issues like lobbying, immigration, corporate greed, and foreign influence?
I’m trying to figure out which political party or candidate aligns with my concerns for the upcoming general election. I’m passionate about a few key issues and would love your advice on how I should vote to push for real change.
Issues I'd like to see fixed by the next government:
Banning lobbying — I want to see a political system that isn’t influenced by big corporations or special interests. Media propaganda overhaul - getting rid of propaganda channels like skynews. A fair go at jobs - making hiring criteria merit based again, rather than hiring people from the same race or country, especially in the APS. Pausing immigration — I think we need a pause to better manage, integrate and educate our population, rather than solely on immigration which is now a cesspool of rorts. Controlling corporate greed — Corporations seem to be driving "greed-flation" and inflating costs for everyday Australians. What’s the best way to regulate them? Stopping foreign interests from buying property and land — I’d like to see stricter controls on foreign investment in Australian real estate. Preventing oligarchies — Stopping oligarchies and billionaires controlling the economy and politics. Tackling mining billionaires — The influence of mining tycoons on our government seems excessive. How can we curb their power? Protecting Australian resources — I want to see better regulation on how foreign companies are extracting our resources without proper benefit to the country. Does anyone know which party or candidates support these kinds of policies, or how I can make my vote and preferences count on these issues?
