Thanks @kevinbonham this provides an excellent example of how the senate system works. Unfortunately parties like UAP put up candidates like Babet and then spend millions to get them elected. And to be honest I am hoping to win the 6th senate spot in the 2025 election :)
@SistaRuthDOPD This is a misleading description of how Babet was elected, see kevinbonham.blogspot.com/2024/06/ralph-…View quoted post on X
Found an interesting document on the history of prohibition and in particular tobacco. As Australian govts continue to use penalties and prohibition maybe they can take some inspiration here. #vaping #prohibitiondoesnotwork
