David Speers won the debate.

I thought he moderated it very well. The lines of questioning, despite no real answers, were very considered.

Yes, agreed. Very on point questions. Good example was:

Here is the whole evasive, dodging, waffle-making, fudge-fest:

Stale and uninspiring? Didnt watch.

There were no mic drop moments?

I liked him suggesting Lucas Heights was of similar scale to a plant that would power a seventh of the nation.

I agree.

I turned it off after 30 minutes. It was awful. Both just sending each other cheap shots, criticising each other. Just playing politics.

No vision, no genuine reform, hopeless and bereft housing policies. Irresponsible and frankly weak leadership from both.

No wonder I don’t vote, they aren’t worth it.

So maybe you should have a higher regard for your mental health and just shut the fark up about elections, seeing they don’t matter at all to you.

He’ll vote for LNP, as he always has and will.

I can do whatever I want Fox. A line through the ballot is my action. Better than @Aceman who draws an appendage. You and other wood ducks can play along with the same game. Always underwhelmed and frustrated with the lies and spin.

Every now and then I switch on in the hope for something more meaningful and visionary. Not last night unfortunately.

can’t believe there’s so many sheep out there that just vote how they’re told to vote

unlike myself, the only true independent thinker out there, who forms my own free willed opinions based on stuff i see online

Here’s a reason to do your civic duty. Old Potato Head still can’t say it, he still can’t say the dreaded words, Gina’s beefy breath down his neck…nope. At least he’s acknowledging that the elites of science might have some clue.

“ Another sticking point of last night’s debate was climate change and Peter Dutton declining to say that the impacts of climate change are getting worse. When asked last night whether the impacts of climate change were getting worse, Dutton said: “I’ll let scientists pass that judgment.”

I don’t know because I’m not a scientist and I can’t tell you whether the temperature has risen in Thargomindah [Queensland] because of climate change or the water levels are up.

And his policy proposals have directly contradicted their ‘judgements’, repeatedly

That’s a good way to go about it.

For me it was the announcements from their campaign launches that were so disappointing. Housing and tax cuts / returns. They were so lazy and purely about getting votes. The policies were same, same but different.

If that’s the best these two major parties can come up with after 3 years then there’s going to be challenging times ahead.

Whoever proposed/wrote this question was playing 4D political chess
