Considering almost half Tasmanian adults are functionally illiterate that seems like One Nation is doing pretty poorly in their core demographic. Maybe if more mining kicks off in Tassie Gina will give enough fucks about the balance of power and buy some electorates for her sock puppet party.

    Sorry, but I disagree.

    you aren’t informed enough to help decide who represents us in our democratic system

    I can guarantee you I don’t know enough about the candidates in my electorate. And I purposely allocate and spend time looking at them before I go to vote. Also, my vote has probably never made any difference at all in who was elected.

    Unless. Wait…

    Oh. I get it. Maybe I am one of those who don’t deserve a vote.

      More a test on the fundamentals of our government structure. I actually believe not knowing your candidates and their positions is a sign that they aren’t communicating them effectively. Not knowing the difference between say State and Federal levels of government means you personally lack knowledge of the fundamentals. If that makes sense.
