My answer is that I will vote Australian Greens, although if Malcolm Turnbull had showed some backbone and said screw you to the right wing of both the Liberal and National parties and introduced some sensible policies. For example; as scrapping the idea of a plebsitice on marriage equality and having instead a free vote in Parliament. Along with abolishing negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts. Not to mention reserving the anti renewable energy policies which were introduced when Tony Abbott was Prime Minister. I would have readily voted for the Liberal Party.
I'd hate to think America is exporting our rightwing economic bullshit ideas overseas, but, I mentioned in another thread that I was watching a press conference on CSPAN, yesterday, which was in a huge auditorium interviewing China's Premier and during it he said the same fucking shit our rightwingers say "Don't tax the rich".
Global corporatism is dangerous. Not the free market in and of itself, but the uber rich basically treating the entire population of the world as their personal tools without regards to environment or global stability.
