I was also very disillusioned during this campaign @rememdium.

I wanted to vote Labor because I have had a gut full of conservative liberals.

However, the local Labor candidate was on a different planet. The liberal candidate was well across a wide policy platform, some of which I agreed with and some I didn’t. The teal candidate had a fluffy 2 policy platform and seemed oblivious to wider issues. The greens candidate articulated a platform with clarity and had much that I agreed with but he was just 18.

I wanted a government to:
stand up strongly to China and take the right steps prepare for and uncertain future with malevolent Asian presence.
grasp transitioning to 200% renewables and a hydrogen economy.

I also didn’t want a government hobbled by a hostile senate. I would rather see any government gets its policy preferences passed and be judged on how successful or not they are every 3 years.

So, I voted Liberal, but changed second preference to the Greens and voted the Liberal ticket in the Senate.

Notwithstanding how I voted in response to the candidates on offer in my electorate, I hope Labor get up without a hung parliament and without a hostile senate.

Cheers

I should have mentioned my worry with Labor is they will be soft on China, make regrettable concessions and not take their malevolence as something potentially existential in the mid term.
