On a political note, because I see the horrendous damage being done in numerous areas by this current Australian Federal Government, I heartily support an immediate change and don't believe we can wait until May. This election takes us through the critical years from 2019 to 2023.
Thankfully we have excellent choices with Labor, The Greens and Independents.
This inept #LNP Liberal National Party is in complete disarray due to the bullying and exploits of the far right factions that choose fear and divisiveness over kindness, vision and cooperation. Their scandals and corruption are rife, and #LNP have done sweet bugger all for our exceptional farmers and gardeners who ‘could’ not only feed Australians but do so much more with exports if only we had competent and dare I say gifted politicians making the decisions.

Mass Exodus from the Liberal National Party in Total Disarray
Instead, the #LNP has poured $1.4 BILLION down the drain reopening Christmas Island and $50 BILLION on SUBMARINES to a French building contractor. Ministers responsible have or are leaving politics - and we can be sure the cost will double by the time the submarines are built. IMAGINE what positive things this taxpayers' money could have done for peacekeeping and other worthwhile projects for our states and territories.
I won't even begin with the horrific mismanagement of animal welfare, our rivers, forests, oceans and environments of all kinds by the #LNP. I'd like to see Labor and The Greens forming a coalition though that's unlikely ever to happen even if there are many like me whose vote swings between the two.
I'll be backing the #ALP even though barrister Julian Burnside who says "Our political system is broken. I'm very troubled by climate change and our mistreatment of asylum seekers. Worried about the level of dishonesty in politics" is signing on for #TheGreens.
Please check Labor's plan and some of the brilliant Independents' and vote in May after doing all your research.vote in May after doing all your research. If you've never been political before - now is the time! OUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON YOUR VOTE AND PERSONAL EFFORTS. #BillShorten and #TanyaPlibersek are leaders of substance with imaginative and workable visions for the present and the future. Oz needs a strong and united team such as the ALP to sort out the mess they'll inherit then govern to make Australia a country we can be proud of.

Former Conservative Prime Ministers Tony Abbott and John Howard Support Convicted Paedophile Cardinal Pell
A specialist counselling service that supports victims of childhood sexual abuse has been inundated with calls since the conviction of Cardinal George Pell, with many survivors saying they have been traumatised by high-profile support for the disgraced prelate.
The president of the Blue Knot Foundation, Cathy Kezelman, said demand for the childhood trauma service spiked when a suppression order lifted on 26 February, revealing Pell was guilty of five charges, including sexually penetrating a 13-year-old choirboy.
“It’s been so challenging, as we’ve had double the normal amount of calls since then,” Kezelman said. “Some people are acutely distressed. The story is playing out in public in such a way that it’s impossible, almost, to avoid it.” Link to the Guardian Story
