Election Funding Solution
I have refined my technique for ensuring the odious parasites responsible for taxpayer funded elections do not receive a cent of my money.
For the house of representatives and the legislative Assembly, funding is given for every valid first preference vote a candidate receives provided the candidate attracts at least 4% of the total votes cast. Similar provision are in place for the Senate and the Legislative Council.
In every election regardless of who I want to elect, my first preferenece will always go to an independent candidate or minor party with little hope of reaching the 4% threshold required to obtain taxpayer funding.
If that candidate should happen to reach the 4% level and receive funding then good luck to them - at least my money didn't go to one of the parties responsible for foisting this outrageous impost on us.
Think about it. They expect us to pay them for giving us the dubious privilege of being able to vote them into office. Disgraceful.
