Canvases By Peter<p>It was an easy choice for me, voted for the person who wasn't going to open more offshore drilling, who wasn't going to turn AU into DT's US, who wasn't going to 'DOGE' most of Canberra's workforce, who wasn't going to turn AU toxic with nuclear waste, who wasn't going to do any kind of evil or inhuman crap.. And who had a long &amp; stable record of being against the things above (ie, not a fly-by-nighter), I voted Greens, the only party that seemed to have realistic policies.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Voting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voting</span></a></p>
