ERECT A SIGN! (How to Win an Election Australian Style)

Date: 2020-03-16

Australia is known for a lot of things. Its sandy beaches, its unique animals, its toilet paper shortages, and perhaps most importantly, its democracy! Sure, it’s a broken democracy with the recent Sports Rorts scandal where the government favoured marginal or targeted electorates (rather than deciding on merit) in its allocation of sports grants. Of course there was the Robodebt scandal where poor people on welfare were unlawfully targeted and accused of owing thousands of dollars in unpaid debt (largely to prop up the Government’s budget bottom line). Yeah, it’s a broken democracy, but it’s our broken democracy! Bring in the 2020 local government elections! If you don’t already know, voting in Australia is compulsory. Even if you think the system is broken, if you don’t vote, you’ll be slugged with a $133 fine. Take that you communist hippy! But this video isn’t about that. This video is about how to win an election in Australia. Simply put, erect a sign! Yes, if you don’t erect a sign in Australia, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Why? Because in our robust democracy, this is pretty much all people have to go by. And that’s essentially Australian democracy in a nutshell. Lots of signs. No real policies. And if you don’t like a candidate, sneak out at night and break down their sign. Ah, you’ve gotta love Australian democracy!
