Hey everyone,
I've been pondering this for a while and genuinely want to understand. I'm not trying to brag, but my income apparently puts me in the top 5% of income earners and we own a home in a nice suburb close to the city, and even then, I don't feel like it's in my best interests to vote for the Coalition.
So I struggle to see how someone earning under $100K could. Consider the following:
Medicare: Labor gave us universal healthcare. Without it, we'd be paying a fortune for medical services.
Access to Higher Education: Thanks to Labor, university education became accessible to everyone, not just the elite.
Superannuation: Labor introduced compulsory superannuation, ensuring we can all retire with financial security.
The National Broadband Network (NBN): Labor's vision was to future-proof our internet infrastructure, crucial for a modern economy.
Economic Reforms Under Hawke and Keating: These reforms modernised our economy, making Australia competitive on the global stage.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS): Labor's initiative to support people with disabilities, promoting fairness and inclusion.
Fair Work Act: Protecting workers' rights and ensuring fair wages and conditions.
In contrast, the Coalition governments have often cut essential services, undermined public healthcare, trashed the NBN and prioritised tax cuts for the wealthy and big businesses over the needs of everyday Australians.
If you’re not in the top tax bracket or making a killing in real estate or mining, the Coalition isn’t looking out for you. Labor, on the other hand, has consistently worked to ensure a fair go for everyone, investing in our future, health, education, and retirement.
So, why do people earning under $100K vote for the Coalition? What am I missing here?
Why do people continue to vote for either party?
They’re generally full of career politicians who have contributed to the countries decline their entire careers.
They don’t think for themselves or listen to their constituents, they toe the party line out of fear of losing the parties endorsement, in turn losing their seat and position of “power”
The parties themselves have leaders and advisers above the elected members pulling the strings, deciding on policies and how the party is going to vote.
The 2 party preferred system is a scam on the Australian people, so is the preferential voting system. The sooner people realise that the better. People still continue to vote and follow them like their favourite sports teams.
Vote the major parties (Labor, Liberal & especially the greens) last in all elections.
