I was looking at the ABC's summary of the various Senate parties ( https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-05-10/federal-election-your-guide-to-the-wa-senate-ballot/11080108 ) and I was struck by how balanced the field is.
There are the big parties, the minor parties, and the micro parties.
There centrist, far left, far right, and plain fruitcake parties.
There is something for everyone.
But.
With all this choice, every Australian voting will have one incredibly difficult decision to make (assuming they don't go for single above-the-line voting). One that is much more difficult than choosing who to vote for.
Who to put last?
If you are of a right wing bent, do you put the Greens below the Hemp Party? Or Labor? And what about the Pirates?
Those of a more leftwards leaning have work out if One Nation is worse or better than Fraser Anning's Conservative National Party, or if the Liberal Party is worse than both.
Social progressive folks have it just as hard. IMOP or Shooters and …
Google and Microsoft as well
ReplyDeleteHow sad it is to see a wasted post on matter of little importance where activism against tech giants is concerned... plenty of missed opportunities in the past and many more to come, this is NOT one of them :)
ReplyDeleteThis is not so little, as it is one that is easy to prove under existing laws, and very hard for a company to wriggle out of. A case of picking battles.
ReplyDeleteWe are talking about the same thing right, refusing to under warranty, service devices that were serviced by third, not authorised parties?
ReplyDeleteNot quite - this is Apple disabling devices serviced by third parties.
