ill give you
5 LNP i dont like right now
- the National supporting the Greens prob WOW and COL is pointless they have under 3 percent margins
- using super to buy property will just screw young people out of retirement later
- increasing the retirement age
- any MP who are anti climate change it isnt that i think it is some lunatic emergency but we need to look after the planet sensibly esp Australian land markets like the Coral in the Great Barrier reef - these land marks could be used as cash cows for the tourism industry
- although i 'do not trust' China they are our biggest trade partner, i support the Alliance with the US but we need to let those to suprpowers have it out politically, we can benefit greatly from fostering both relationships

5 things i like about the ALP
im not a fan of the current government but im going to give this a shot
- the want mend the trade relationship wit China this is the biggest positive of having an ALP government
- they havent just thrown money around like past ALP parties ie Ruud [however lets see what the new budget says]
- education the changes to HECS are senisble and fair Jason Clare is probably one of the few ALP ministers i'd vote for he has suprising a lot of common sense which isnt something the 'front bench' has a lot of
- greener future although i dont agree with 'how' they are doing this it is better then completely ignoring it i think the LNP will now take Green energy more seriously after last election and credit to the ALP needs to be given there - im not some CO2 is evil activies i think 80 percent of the climate lunatics is bullshit but deforrestation, micro plastic in the ocean and exiction of multiple speices cannot be ignored

see it wasnt that hard Pinohoo ill be voting for Dutton next election, he is the better leader of the two - no matter how bias you are you know that is true, although you wouldnt ever admit it Albo is a fool and so is most of his bench Bowen, Wong etc - if i could id have LIttleproud over Dutton but nationals dont lead the LNP

@CharlieShares, thanks for delivering on your own demand, IMO you've done a reasonable job with those two lists; prompting me to respond!

Five Good things about the LNP:
1. They honor election outcomes when handing over government in an orderly, responsible manner alien to countries such as the USA.
2. The LNP reliably promotes business perspectives and ensures business is very well looked after by government.
3. The Libs and the Nats generally work pretty well together.
4. The Libs are only too happy to remove an inept leaders including Brendan Nelson and Tony Abbott.
5. The LNP works very well with Australia's wealthiest corporations, large American corporations and wealthy individuals.

Five Bad things about the ALP:
1. Labor has degenerated into a moderately right wing and moderately authoritarian party similar to what the Coalition was in the 1960s and 1970s - the stuff of status quo, forelock tugging and very pedestrian.
2. Labor has helped to create education apartheid by public funding of 'private schools' and by drowning young Aussies in $Debt via the imposition of HECs.
3. Labor has refused to withdraw from AUKUS - a worse than dud deal putting Australia at odds with our major trading partner and at hideous expense to taxpayers.
4. Increasing wasteful defence spending to 2.4% of GDP [$54 BIllion in 2023-24 alone] to assist US warmongering and exacerbate military conflicts throughout the world.
5. Dropping the ball on properly addressing global warming / climate change - absolutely underwhelming progress on the greatest single threat to our future.
