Probably a waste of time for me to even vote. The other parties are already defeated because nobody has even heard of their candidate.

Not a waste. If the candidate of the party you like gets a certain amount of votes in this election, they get a grant of funds or somesuch from the AEC to contest the next election, If I recall correctly. It can be about the medium to long term in politics, as well as just the now.
As long as you aren't voting LNP, One Nation or Jabba. :)

Not in the least bit surprising but there were a lot of better things to spend $20bn on.

Australia really needs to change how politics plays out. Attacking each other and supporting dud policies just to differentiate the parties from each other.

What a monumental fuck up.
Blind Freddy could've seen that the old copper network was only going to degrade to a point of being useless.
I still live in the suburb of a capital city within 10km from the CBD that doesn't have FTTP.

PM Who Went to Hawaii for a Two Week Beach Holiday In The Middle of Record-Breaking Bushfires, And Then Lied to the Media By Denying He'd Ever Left the Country, Until He Was Caught Out Lying Because He Couldn't Resist Getting a Photo with Some Aussie Tourists on Waikiki Beach at Sunset, Forcing Him to Admit He Had Fled the Country but Defended His Decision by First Blaming His Wife and Kids, and Then Eventually Losing His Temper and Saying 'I Don't Hold a Hose Mate!' Before Promising He Would Come Back as Soon as Could Be Arranged, Which Ended Up Being a Week Later, Because He Felt That He Deserved the Luxury of Finishing His Overseas Holiday While 483 People Died and Over 4000 People Lost Their Homes, Promises Australians That He will Change — The Betoota Advocate

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT HAVE I EVER LIED TO YOU? Scotty has come out this week to fix his own reputation amongst voters, after countless polls pointed to the fact that the number one issue that Australians have with this current government is the bloke leading it. “It’s not a...

Cows go boing
Early voted today .. lady in line was approached by a very friendly Victorian Socialist for a chat, lady listened but went on to say how it doesn't matter if libs or labor win as they all just do whatever they want anyway. The girl then explained that yes one of the big 2 will win, but you know if smaller parties get seats they can help influence decisions and perhaps then the big 2 can't do whatever they want yaddi yaddi yadda..."oh but I've always voted Labor, my daughter wants me to vote greens, but they aren't going to win so I'll probably just vote Labor again..."
The girl tried again, to instill some logic to her thought process but It seemed like a lost cause.

This is the braindead society we live in.

I like the idea of some balance but in reality the past independents have just sold their souls (perhaps oxymoron material) for something that will get them reelected back home...
