All taxes are bad. But they're not all EQUALLY bad.
If we HAVE to have taxes, what is the less-bad option?

I define a tax as 'less bad' if it's more efficient (less admin, etc), causes less intrusion into peoples private lives, causes less distortions (changes people's behaviour less), and distorts people's behaviour only in ways which tend to aid the economy, not hurt it.

Australia has a Preferential System, meaning you get 1 vote but it travels from one candidate to another according to your preferences.
You number the boxes from 1 (most preferred) till the end (least preferred) and if your #1 gets knocked out, your vote travels to your #2. If they also get knocked out, it goes to your #3 etc.
The ONLY THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER IS TO PUT ALL THE 'GOOD' or 'OK' MINOR PARTIES FIRST, above any of the major parties, yes even above the major party you like better than the other one.
The temptation is to put your preferred minor party (such as Libertarian) at #1 then put your preferred major party (such as Liberal) at #2. This is a waste of the Preferential System as we'll see further down. This mistake is the reason Tasmania did not elect me or the PHON or UAP candidates as Senators last election. Not a lack of votes between us, but a lack of Preferences.

Here's how to fix Victoria Police. A 🧵
(1 of 6)
Immediately prosecute with jury trials every officer caught on camera committing acts of unprovoked violence against Victorians, especially during lockdowns. Internal investigations or magistrate only trials are not good enough to restore public trust.

Immediately rehire and back-pay every officer that refused to be jabbed, issue a written apology, and formally reprimand every senior member that failed to object to the jab mandates on their members.

My submission, in full, to this sham Covid-19 Inquiry. They excluded unilateral actions by the states, then they gave ONE WEEK for public submissions... it's a slap in the face, but our best response is to FLOOD them with responses and make it clear we'll be watching them.

HERE IT IS!
Part 1/5 of the long promised Perth Mainstream Medical and Media Convention!
I had the honour of being the MC, and we opened with a very funny set from Corey White, followed by an impassioned opening talk from John Shipton, father of Julian Assange.
The remaining 4 parts will be uploaded in due course!
Part 2/5
Ed Dowd brings the data that demands answers... if it's not the 'elephant in the room' that's caused this uptick in deaths and disabilities among working age people... what did?
And why are the authorities so disinterested in explaining THESE deaths when they shut down the world to 'save one live' just 2 years ago?
