He was sentenced to 26 months!!! So his right to vote in prison is currently being vigorously defended by TPM, Labour and the Greens

I'm of the view that he kissed those rights away when he started offending against children under his care

As a side note, I agree with your earlier points regarding name suppression etc
I didn’t read it properly obviously, but 26 months for his offending is pitiful. Deserves a hell of a lot more than that and the loss of voting privileges

In prison are generally criminals, but also plenty with severe mental illness issues that the system has let them down
Are we saying people with mental illnesses shouldn’t be able to vote as well?

I’m for that. If you can’t handle society, how can you decide who runs the country?

But realistically, the arguments over criminals voting - they are a tiny percentage of the population and most wouldn’t bother voting anyway. Not worth worrying about really.

I think the whole point around the 3 year mark was the academics of the opinion that it gives them an opportunity to integrate back into society among the benefits. No I’m not of that opinion myself regarding those suffering from mental health, you deserve a vote as much as anyone

Hey @MaybeTop8 I’d just like to thank you for your support in 2025 - I’ve just read my ‘wrapped’ summary & you were kind enough to reply to 12% of my posts this year. That’s makes you my number 1 fan, & I’m sure you’ve been an even bigger fan of others on here like Wiz. Thanks legend!
You're more than welcome as long as you remain number 3 on my list. Sorry, the walking disinformation campaign from Tauranga came first.

Australia: A Guardian Essential Poll, released on Wednesday after Barnaby Joyce said he would defect to One Nation, showed support for the right-wing populist party on a primary vote had reached 17%

The result, the party’s highest ever put them third behind Labor’s 34% and the Coalition’s 26%

Looking like a very Trumpish.

What do we think @MrFrankWhite and @Lord Gnome of Mooloolaba?

Barnaby is a clown and Pauline Hanson votes with the Uniparty on nearly all matters. Complete destruction of the Liberal party is necessary though.
