    Hello and welcome to Opaul Explained. My
  • 00:00:02
    friends call me David cuz that's my name
  • 00:00:05
    legally and they have to. The 2025
  • 00:00:07
    election is coming up and you may be
  • 00:00:08
    wondering who you'd like to vote for and
  • 00:00:10
    that requires research. I've just read
  • 00:00:12
    the policy pages for every single
  • 00:00:15
    political party registered federally in
  • 00:00:18
    Australia. I'm going to give you a
  • 00:00:20
    summary of them right now to help you on
  • 00:00:23
    your decision-making journey. There will
  • 00:00:26
    be no jokes or personal commentary. This
  • 00:00:28
    is just a straightforward basic summary
  • 00:00:30
    of the policies of every single party.
  • 00:00:32
    Who you vote for is entirely up to you.
  • 00:00:35
    I just want you to be informed when you
  • 00:00:37
    vote. Now, occasionally parties change
  • 00:00:39
    names, get dregistered, or are only
  • 00:00:42
    registered on a state or territory
  • 00:00:44
    level. So, if anyone is going to say in
  • 00:00:46
    the comments, "Hey, you forgot to
  • 00:00:47
    mention the blah blah party." No, I
  • 00:00:49
    didn't. If someone is not on this list,
  • 00:00:52
    they were not registered federally at
  • 00:00:53
    the time of recording. So, we didn't
  • 00:00:55
    forget anyone. Okay? things change over
  • 00:00:57
    time. Speaking of changing over time,
  • 00:00:59
    this is for the 2025 election. So,
  • 00:01:02
    naturally, details of this list will
  • 00:01:04
    change over time. Perhaps more policies
  • 00:01:07
    will be announced closer to an election.
  • 00:01:09
    So, this is just a broad overview
  • 00:01:11
    designed to give you an impression. And
  • 00:01:13
    I highly recommend you check out the
  • 00:01:15
    websites of different political parties
  • 00:01:17
    to learn more details and see what
  • 00:01:19
    couldn't be included for the sake of
  • 00:01:21
    time. And of course, look up any
  • 00:01:23
    independents in your area as well. Those
  • 00:01:25
    people can't be included in this list
  • 00:01:27
    for obvious reasons. Though caveat, some
  • 00:01:30
    people on this list are basically
  • 00:01:32
    independents who have a political party
  • 00:01:34
    registered. They are included for the
  • 00:01:35
    sake of this being a list of every
  • 00:01:37
    single political party. Another
  • 00:01:38
    important thing to know is not every
  • 00:01:40
    single party will run in your area. So
  • 00:01:42
    check out aec.gov.au to find out what
  • 00:01:46
    candidates you could potentially vote
  • 00:01:47
    for. And one final quick note before I
  • 00:01:50
    begin. There are some sections that
  • 00:01:52
    include specific wording and phrasing
  • 00:01:55
    from the policies as they were written
  • 00:01:57
    on the website to preserve the intention
  • 00:01:59
    of the party. Some elements are actually
  • 00:02:01
    just copy pasted. That doesn't
  • 00:02:03
    necessarily mean that I myself would use
  • 00:02:05
    that phrasing or terminology. It's just
  • 00:02:07
    to give you a more accurate impression
  • 00:02:10
    and idea of what they talk about and
  • 00:02:12
    how. and it's up to you to judge if
  • 00:02:15
    that's something that you agree with or
  • 00:02:17
    disagree with. Now, with all that
  • 00:02:18
    housekeeping, let's get into it. Here
  • 00:02:21
    they are in alphabetical order with some
  • 00:02:24
    slight reshuffleling the policies of
  • 00:02:26

    interests as well as having greater

    protections for living standards of

    animals. This includes, but is not
  • 00:02:44
    limited to, banning greyhound racing,
  • 00:02:47
    phasing out animal experimentation, and
  • 00:02:50
    an eventual end to animal agriculture on
  • 00:02:53
    the grounds that it's harmful to both
  • 00:02:55
    animals and the environment. Not all of
  • 00:02:57
    their policies are about animals. Some
  • 00:02:59
    include urgent climate action through a
  • 00:03:02

    voice. They are a center party founded
  • 00:11:45
    in 2024 by former Labour senator for WA
  • 00:11:48
    Fatima Payman. She resigned after
  • 00:11:51
    crossing the floor to vote in support of
  • 00:11:53
    recognizing Palestinian statethood while
  • 00:11:55
    Labour voted against the motion. The
  • 00:11:57
    party wants to end the genocide of the
  • 00:12:00
    Palestinian people. They also want to
  • 00:12:02
    improve housing affordability by
  • 00:12:04
    reducing tax incentives for investors by
  • 00:12:07
    limiting negative gearing and reducing
  • 00:12:09
    the capital gains discount from 50% to
  • 00:12:12
    25%. then lowering it by 5% each year
  • 00:12:16
    for over 5 years and redirect the
  • 00:12:18
    billion saved into social housing. Break
  • 00:12:21
    up Kohl's and Woolworths to increase
  • 00:12:23
    competition in supermarkets to reduce
  • 00:12:25
    grocery prices. They're also
  • 00:12:27
    pro-republic. They want to reduce
  • 00:12:30
    political perks like travel allowances
  • 00:12:32
    and freeze MP pay rises. They propose
  • 00:12:35
    that Parliament should vote before we go
  • 00:12:37
    to war instead of it being a decision
  • 00:12:39
    for the prime minister and also scrap
  • 00:12:42
    orcus. They want to maintain greater
  • 00:12:44
    reserves of gas supply for domestic use
  • 00:12:47
    instead of foreign exports to reduce
  • 00:12:49
    local gas prices. Raise welfare above
  • 00:12:52
    the poverty line. Automatically split
  • 00:12:54
    couples superanuration in cases of abuse

    abuse can secure a financial future and
  • 00:13:02
    treat climate change as an emergency.
  • 00:13:05
    Better together party. The party
  • 00:13:07
    consists of Lucy Bradllo and Brunwin
  • 00:13:10
    Brock who are running in the Senate in
  • 00:13:12
    Victoria. However, they want to do
  • 00:13:14
    something that is a world first job
  • 00:13:17
    sharing a single Senate seat. The idea
  • 00:13:20
    is for them to both run as a joint unit
  • 00:13:23
    for just one Senate position and if
  • 00:13:27
    successful have one of them work for one
  • 00:13:29
    week, then the other work the next week
  • 00:13:32
    and so on and so on back and forth and
  • 00:13:35
    then split the salary allowances and
  • 00:13:37
    responsibility evenly. Their aim is to
  • 00:13:40
    demonstrate a way to do politics through
  • 00:13:42
    a more equitable work life balance and
  • 00:13:45
    broaden representation. It also may not
  • 00:13:48
    be constitutional and as of recording
  • 00:13:50
    there's a challenge before the federal
  • 00:13:52
    court to determine the legality of such
  • 00:13:54
    an arrangement and it's unclear what
  • 00:13:56
    will happen if their attempt to have a
  • 00:13:58
    joint nomination for a single seat is
  • 00:14:00
    rejected. But for the sake of
  • 00:14:02
    completeness regardless of what
  • 00:14:04
    arrangement they run under their
  • 00:14:06
    policies are as such. They want strong
  • 00:14:09
    action on climate change and an
  • 00:14:11
    accelerated transition to renewable
  • 00:14:13
    energy and electrification. They want
  • 00:14:15
    the government to crack down on
  • 00:14:17
    anti-competitive behavior in the
  • 00:14:19
    groceries and energy sector to reduce
  • 00:14:22
    the cost of living. They want to work
  • 00:14:24
    with state and local governments to
  • 00:14:26
    increase housing supply. They want
  • 00:14:28
    greater power for the National

    and women's safety with proper funding
  • 00:14:40
    to combat domestic abuse and violence
  • 00:14:42
    against women and adequate funding for
  • 00:14:44
    first responders. They want generous and
  • 00:14:47
    equal access to paid parental leave that
  • 00:14:49
    includes superanuation to encourage both
  • 00:14:52
    men and women to take parental leave and
  • 00:14:55
    create pipeline opportunities that will
  • 00:14:57
    reduce highly gendered industries.
  • 00:15:00
    Center Alliance, it's a center-aligned
  • 00:15:02
    party based in South Australia. It was
  • 00:15:05
    originally founded in 2013 as the Nick
  • 00:15:07
    Zenapon team. It's gone through a few
  • 00:15:10
    iterations and previous members, but now
  • 00:15:13
    the only MP is Rebecca Shaki, who
  • 00:15:15
    effectively is sitting as an independent
  • 00:15:18
    for the seat of Mayo, but has kept the
  • 00:15:20
    party registration. She is the only
  • 00:15:23
    member running for this party. So for
  • 00:15:25
    the people of Mayo, she wants antirust
  • 00:15:27
    laws to break up the Coohl's and
  • 00:15:29
    Woolly's duopoly and increase
  • 00:15:31
    competition. increase funding for
  • 00:15:33

    public transport. Is open to a
  • 00:15:38
    conversation about nuclear power as a
  • 00:15:40
    part of our broader discussion about
  • 00:15:42
    long-term energy solutions, but in the
  • 00:15:44
    short term wants to improve
  • 00:15:45
    affordability of home solar batteries.
  • 00:15:48
    She also wants to end gambling
  • 00:15:50
    advertising and compel gambling apps to
  • 00:15:52
    share realtime information to people on
  • 00:15:55
    how much they are losing, protect our
  • 00:15:57
    biodiversity, and reduce plastic
  • 00:15:59
    pollution. more funding for child care
  • 00:16:02
    based off areas with the greatest need.
  • 00:16:05
    Preserve local farmland and support
  • 00:16:07
    local grown food and local manufacturing
  • 00:16:10
    and says new housing in regions must be
  • 00:16:12
    sympathetic to the environment
  • 00:16:14
    complimentary to existing housing and
  • 00:16:16
    supported by appropriate transit and
  • 00:16:18
    social infrastructure. She supports
  • 00:16:21
    affordable housing options particularly
  • 00:16:23
    for the elderly and disadvantaged. The
  • 00:16:25
    coalition. The coalition is a
  • 00:16:27
    combination of the Liberals, the
  • 00:16:29
    Nationals, and the Country Liberal Party
  • 00:16:31
    in the Northern Territory. In
  • 00:16:33
    Queensland, the Liberals and Nationals
  • 00:16:35
    fuse to form the Liberal National Party
  • 00:16:37
    or LNP, but federally LNP members can
  • 00:16:40
    choose to sit as either liberals or
  • 00:16:43
    nationals. Overall, the parties are
  • 00:16:45
    center right to right-wing and socially
  • 00:16:47
    conservative. They have a formal
  • 00:16:49
    agreement to work together in government
  • 00:16:51
    and opposition with the exception of the
  • 00:16:54
    nationals in WA which isn't part of the
  • 00:16:56
    coalition and sits separately on the
  • 00:16:58
    crossbench. When in government the usual
  • 00:17:01
    arrangement is that the leader of the
  • 00:17:03
    Liberals is the prime minister while the
  • 00:17:05
    leader of the nationals is the deputy
  • 00:17:06
    prime minister. While they formulate
  • 00:17:08
    shared policies they each have their own
  • 00:17:11
    focus and contributions to the
  • 00:17:13
    coalition. So I'm going to break down
  • 00:17:15
    some of that. the country liberal party
  • 00:17:17
    from the Northern Territory. It only
  • 00:17:20
    runs in the Northern Territory and hopes
  • 00:17:22
    to achieve statethood for the territory.
  • 00:17:24
    Its values include traditional
  • 00:17:26
    conservative values and liberal values
  • 00:17:28
    of individualism. Their platform
  • 00:17:30
    involves being tough on crime by having
  • 00:17:33
    tougher bail laws, keeping the age of
  • 00:17:35
    criminal responsibility at 10, and
  • 00:17:37
    building more prisons. They want to
  • 00:17:39
    attract and keep more frontline workers
  • 00:17:41
    in the Northern Territory through
  • 00:17:43
    federal tax breaks and migration
  • 00:17:45
    exemptions, including changes to the
  • 00:17:47
    zone tax offset and designated area
  • 00:17:50
    migration agreement or DMER. The Liberal
  • 00:17:53
    Party of Australia, they are the largest
  • 00:17:55
    of the coalition parties. They run
  • 00:17:58
    mainly, but not exclusively in
  • 00:18:00
    metropolitan areas. They want to reduce
  • 00:18:02
    spending on public services while
  • 00:18:04
    favoring the growth of private industry
  • 00:18:06
    through reduction of regulation and
  • 00:18:08
    cutting red tape. Their energy policy is
  • 00:18:11
    to greatly increase domestic gas
  • 00:18:13
    production in the immediate term while
  • 00:18:16
    invest in nuclear energy for the long
  • 00:18:17
    term with the goal of building nuclear
  • 00:18:20
    power plants in at least 15 to 20 years
  • 00:18:23
    time. They want to reduce the power of
  • 00:18:25
    unions in the workplace. Introduce a
  • 00:18:28
    $20,000 tax deduction for businesses to
  • 00:18:30
    spend on meals and entertainment. Allow
  • 00:18:33
    people to access their superanuation
  • 00:18:35
    early to help pay for a house deposit.
  • 00:18:38
    Invest $5 billion for housing
  • 00:18:40
    infrastructure. Freeze changes to the
  • 00:18:42
    National Construction Code for 10 years.
  • 00:18:45
    Introduce a 2-year ban on foreign
  • 00:18:48
    investors buying existing homes. reduce
  • 00:18:51
    permanent immigration from 185,000 to
  • 00:18:54
    140,000 for 2 years. Then gradually
  • 00:18:57
    increase it 150,000 in year 3 and
  • 00:19:01
    160,000 in year 4. Reduce foreign
  • 00:19:04
    student numbers. Work with states and
  • 00:19:07
    territories for uniform and tough knife
  • 00:19:09
    laws and tougher bail laws. Crack down
  • 00:19:12
    on what they say are anti-semitic
  • 00:19:14
    student protests and remove woke agendas
  • 00:19:17
    from educational curriculums. They also
  • 00:19:19
    want to invest $9 billion into more bulk
  • 00:19:22
    billing GP visits and have the fuel
  • 00:19:25
    excise for 12 months, reducing the cost
  • 00:19:28
    of petrol by 25 cents a liter. The
  • 00:19:30
    National Party, they're focused on
  • 00:19:32
    regional and country areas of Australia
  • 00:19:35
    and as a result run mainly in those
  • 00:19:37
    areas. They support regional families
  • 00:19:40
    and industries like agriculture and
  • 00:19:42
    mining. Similar to the Liberals, their
  • 00:19:44
    energy policy is about increasing gas
  • 00:19:47
    supply to reduce prices. They want to
  • 00:19:49
    crack down on supermarket price gouging
  • 00:19:52
    by creating a supermarket commissioner,
  • 00:19:54
    $2 million on the spot fines, and big
  • 00:19:57
    stick competition laws that deliver
  • 00:19:59
    fairer prices for farmers at the farm
  • 00:20:02
    gate and families at the checkout. They
  • 00:20:04
    want more GPS, specialists, and nurses
  • 00:20:06
    practicing in country areas by
  • 00:20:08
    increasing incentives and opportunities
  • 00:20:11
    for medical professionals to train,
  • 00:20:13
    live, and work in the regions. They want
  • 00:20:15
    more investment in regional road,
  • 00:20:17
    bridge, and water infrastructure.
  • 00:20:19
    National Party of WA again focused on
  • 00:20:22
    supporting regional and country areas
  • 00:20:24
    and agricultural and mining industries.
  • 00:20:27
    But just a reminder that if a Nationals
  • 00:20:29
    WA member was elected federally, they'd
  • 00:20:31
    sit on the crossbench, not with the
  • 00:20:33
    coalition. However, they do have similar
  • 00:20:36
    ideas to the other Nationals branches in
  • 00:20:39
    that they want investment in regional
  • 00:20:42
    development, water security, property
  • 00:20:44
    rights for farmers, and want to attract
  • 00:20:46
    and retain professionals like teachers
  • 00:20:49
    in regional areas. Daley and Frank
  • 00:20:52
    Caboni, WSC, formed in 2023 by D. Lee, a
  • 00:20:57
    former Liberal member who is serving
  • 00:20:59
    both as the federal member for Fowler as
  • 00:21:01
    well as currently the deputy mayor for
  • 00:21:03
    Fairfield City Council. In combination
  • 00:21:06
    with Frank Carboni, a former Labour
  • 00:21:09
    member and current mayor of Fairfield.
  • 00:21:11
    While DY is part of the party, she sits
  • 00:21:14
    as an independent in the federal
  • 00:21:16
    parliament, but labels herself as a real
  • 00:21:19
    independent as opposed to teal
  • 00:21:22
    independence because she has no backing
  • 00:21:24
    by climate 200, a climate focused
  • 00:21:27
    funding body. WSC stands for Western
  • 00:21:30
    Sydney Community and it's the aim of the
  • 00:21:32
    party to improve infrastructure for that
  • 00:21:34
    area such as rail and bus services to
  • 00:21:37
    the Western Sydney airport, more funding
  • 00:21:40
    for parks, walkways, and bike paths, and
  • 00:21:43
    a MRI machine at Fairfield Hospital.
  • 00:21:46
    They want to increase the Medicare
  • 00:21:48
    rebate for working families, create
  • 00:21:50
    incentives for GPS to work in
  • 00:21:52
    communities like Fowler. Just as
  • 00:21:54
    regional GPS receive extra support, so
  • 00:21:57
    should there be incentives for lower
  • 00:21:59
    socioeconomic areas, they also want to
  • 00:22:02
    support small businesses and local jobs
  • 00:22:04
    by increasing the instant asset write
  • 00:22:06
    off to
  • 00:22:08
    $50,000. Make arts and social science
  • 00:22:10
    university degrees cheaper by reducing
  • 00:22:12
    the maximum amount that students can be
  • 00:22:14
    charged from
  • 00:22:16
    $15,142 down to
  • 00:22:19
    $4,124 a unit. They also want to reform
  • 00:22:22
    the energy generation and retail market
  • 00:22:25
    to support a fairer, more efficient
  • 00:22:27
    energy sector, cut the fuel excise and
  • 00:22:30
    raise the tax-free threshold as cost of
  • 00:22:33
    living relief measures. David PCO. It's
  • 00:22:36
    a progressive party founded in 2021 by
  • 00:22:39
    former rugby union member turned senator
  • 00:22:41
    for the ACT, David PCO. While he sits as
  • 00:22:45
    an independent in the Senate, he
  • 00:22:47
    registered a political party so he could
  • 00:22:49
    appear above the line on the Senate
  • 00:22:51
    ballot. He wants greater investment in
  • 00:22:54
    public services and institutions. So
  • 00:22:57
    more funding for infrastructure, health,
  • 00:23:00
    education, the ABC, mental health
  • 00:23:02
    services, specialist care, the NIS, and
  • 00:23:05
    aged care. They want to legislate a duty
  • 00:23:08
    of care for young people and future
  • 00:23:10
    generations when it comes to climate
  • 00:23:12
    change and the environment as well as
  • 00:23:15
    investment for homes to transition from
  • 00:23:17
    gas to electrification to reduce
  • 00:23:19
    emissions and energy bills and wants an
  • 00:23:22
    ambitious 2035 emissions reduction
  • 00:23:25
    target. They also want to increase
  • 00:23:27
    competition for key industries like
  • 00:23:29
    supermarkets, airlines, and banks.
  • 00:23:32
    Greater powers for the federal

    political advertising laws, quadruple
  • 00:23:38
    the housing future fund to $40 billion,

    and welcome back international students
  • 00:23:44
    to help address workforce shortages, and
  • 00:23:47
    increase camper's appeal on the
  • 00:23:49
    international stage to attract and
  • 00:23:51
    retain staff locally. Family First
  • 00:23:53

    adults. They want to restore coal and

    professor at the University of CRA whose
  • 00:34:10
    political focus is on climate change and
  • 00:34:12
    gender equality. She registered this
  • 00:34:14
    political party for the 2022 election,
  • 00:34:16
    but when I contacted her to learn more
  • 00:34:18
    about her policies, she said she wasn't
  • 00:34:20
    running again in 2025, even though the
  • 00:34:22
    party is still registered as of
  • 00:34:24

    list. Legalize cannabis Australia. They
  • 00:34:29
    want Australia to legalize cannabis.
  • 00:34:32

    crime and money spent on policing
  • 00:34:36
    cannabis can be saved or used elsewhere.
  • 00:34:39
    They also say it's a human rights issue
  • 00:34:41
    as treating cannabis as a crime has
  • 00:34:44
    resulted in human rights violations
  • 00:34:46
    disproportionately affecting the most
  • 00:34:47
    marginalized in society. They also want
  • 00:34:50
    to promote the economic benefit of

    cannabis, promote the medicinal benefits
  • 00:34:56
    and use of cannabis, and promote hemp
  • 00:34:59
    for its positive environmental impact as
  • 00:35:01
    both a fast growing crop that can
  • 00:35:03
    sequester carbon and its potential use
  • 00:35:06
    as an organic replacement for plastic as
  • 00:35:08
    well as its use for building materials.
  • 00:35:11
    They also have a list of values to
  • 00:35:13
    uphold that would shape how they vote on
  • 00:35:15
    non-cannabis related bills. They value
  • 00:35:18
    civil liberties, privacy, human rights,
  • 00:35:21

    individualism free of or with minimal
  • 00:35:33
    interference from the government. This
  • 00:35:35
    involves a large amount of reduction in
  • 00:35:37
    government services, spending, and
  • 00:35:39
    regulation in favor of privatization.
  • 00:35:42

    2024. The party is against regulatory

    ways to tackle misinformation online,

    but says we should rely more on digital

    before the 2025 election. Its policies
  • 00:48:39
    are modeled heavily on US President
  • 00:48:41
    Donald Trump's, such as massive cuts to
  • 00:48:44
    government services and spending. They
  • 00:48:47
    want to establish an Australian Doge, a
  • 00:48:50
    Department of Government efficiency,
  • 00:48:52
    much like the one that Elon Musk is in
  • 00:48:54
    charge of in the US. Through that, they
  • 00:48:56

    pushing far-left woke ideology. their
  • 00:50:04
    anti-trans rights against digital IDs
  • 00:50:07
    and central bank digital currency. They
  • 00:50:10
    want to make cash compulsory at all
  • 00:50:12
    businesses. And in their words,
  • 00:50:15
    globalism is the scourge of the free
  • 00:50:17
    world. And they want Australia to exit
  • 00:50:20
    the World Health Organization, United
  • 00:50:22
    Nations, and World Economic Forum
  • 00:50:25
    because, as they say, we cannot have
  • 00:50:27
    unelected globalist bodies dictating how
  • 00:50:30
    we run our nation and our lives. They
  • 00:50:32
    want to promote an isolationist approach
  • 00:50:35
    to international conflict, avoiding
  • 00:50:37
    anything that doesn't directly impact
  • 00:50:39
    Australia's national interest. Victorian
  • 00:50:42
    socialists. Their policies focus on
  • 00:50:45
    nationalizing key industries, public
  • 00:50:47
    ownership of utilities, and taxing
  • 00:50:49
    corporations and the wealthy to pay for
  • 00:50:51
    social services, as well as the end of
  • 00:50:53
    capitalism. They believe workers should
  • 00:50:56
    collectively own and democratically
  • 00:50:58
    control their workplaces, including the
  • 00:51:00
    right to elect and fire management. They
  • 00:51:03
    want to treat housing as a human right
  • 00:51:05
    instead of promoting private ownership
  • 00:51:06
    for personal profit, and establish a
  • 00:51:10
    public builder to construct 1 million
  • 00:51:12
    new quality public housing units over
  • 00:51:14
    the next decade. They want to freeze
  • 00:51:17
    rent increases for 5 years and seize
  • 00:51:20
    properties left vacant for more than 12
  • 00:51:22
    months without a reason and allocate
  • 00:51:25
    them to those on the public housing wait
  • 00:51:27
    list. They want to reationalize the
  • 00:51:30
    Commonwealth Bank and Telra, repeal
  • 00:51:33
    anti-protest laws used to target climate
  • 00:51:36
    activists. They want to create a
  • 00:51:38
    publiclyowned renewable energy operator
  • 00:51:40
    to reduce electricity prices and
  • 00:51:42
    transition to zero emissions by 2035.
  • 00:51:46
    They want no nuclear energy, no new coal
  • 00:51:48
    or gas projects, and ban coal fire power
  • 00:51:52
    by 2030, as well as impose a climate tax
  • 00:51:55
    on big polluters. They want to cap
  • 00:51:57
    prices for essential grocery items,
  • 00:52:00
    electricity and gas bills, put
  • 00:52:02
    politicians on average workers wage, end
  • 00:52:05
    discrimination against LGBTQIA plus
  • 00:52:08
    people, and remove exemptions on
  • 00:52:10
    religious crowns. They oppose militarism
  • 00:52:12
    and war, oppose nuclear weapons and
  • 00:52:15
    orcas, and want Australia to end its
  • 00:52:17
    support for Israel on the grounds of its
  • 00:52:19
    oppression of the Palestinian people.
  • 00:52:21
    They want to make state education free.
  • 00:52:24
    They also want free and universal health
  • 00:52:26
    care, including dental and mental health
  • 00:52:28
    and Medicare, as well as gender
  • 00:52:30
    affirming care. They want to end the
  • 00:52:33
    privileging of business interests over
  • 00:52:35
    indigenous land rights via treaties that
  • 00:52:37
    include the right to veto mining. And
  • 00:52:40
    they also want to fund schools to teach
  • 00:52:42
    Aboriginal languages and uphold
  • 00:52:44
    Aboriginal rights. They want to shift
  • 00:52:47
    the tax burden from the working class
  • 00:52:49
    and move it onto the capitalist and
  • 00:52:52
    upper classes. They want to end tax
  • 00:52:55
    handouts that benefit investors like
  • 00:52:57
    negative gearing and the capital gains
  • 00:52:59
    tax discount and also increase company
  • 00:53:01
    tax to 50%, create a 90% income tax rate
  • 00:53:06
    for those earning over $300,000 a year
  • 00:53:08
    and crack down on tax avoidance. And
  • 00:53:11
    there you have it. Thank you so much for
  • 00:53:12
    tuning in. It's a very long episode, but
  • 00:53:14
    I hope you now have a better
  • 00:53:15
    understanding of who you would like to
  • 00:53:17
    vote for, but also again, I do encourage
  • 00:53:19
    you to research more. This is not a
  • 00:53:21
    comprehensive list. There could be more
  • 00:53:23
    details and information out there that
  • 00:53:25
    could shape your vote. So, do some more
  • 00:53:27
    research in other places as well. And
  • 00:53:30
    also, don't forget to share this so
  • 00:53:31
    other people can learn as well.

    Subscribe if you haven't already and
  • 00:53:35
    comment down below if you think a tomato
  • 00:53:37
    is a fruit, vegetable, or it doesn't
  • 00:53:39
    matter because all forms of taxonomy are
  • 00:53:41
    inherently flawed as categorization
  • 00:53:43
    creates untenable limits on language and
  • 00:53:46
    our understanding of the
  • 00:53:49
    world, whatever floats your boat. And
  • 00:53:51
    thank you so much to my supporters on
  • 00:53:53
    Patreon who are giving a bit of
  • 00:53:55
    emotional support to me in this
  • 00:53:56
    stressful time leading up to an
  • 00:53:58
    election, but also the gift of physical
  • 00:54:00
    money which you can contribute to me uh
  • 00:54:02
    as a reward for all the hard work I put
  • 00:54:04
    into this project of Opaul explained or
  • 00:54:07
    not. It's up to you. Anyway, thank you
  • 00:54:09
    so much for tuning in. I'll see you at
  • 00:54:11
    the polls.
