Just a tip: you’ve used the word “whom” incorrectly here. You can just use the word “who” and you’ll always be correct.

Nah. It's thanks to the country having a huge mining industry. A lot of jobs reflected that. Hell, we still have politicians proposing a new coal fired power station in North Queensland. It's not like NQ needs a new power station, much less one that costs far more than the alternatives. It does however have a lot of votes whose jobs depend on mining, and mining coal specifically.

Apparently lying to them is a good way to get them to vote for you. It works for politicians and the mass media.

Most lib voters do not work in mining and voted libs because the newspaper told them that labor would spend all of your tax money to ban weekends.

I'll be interested to watch what happens when that guy kicks off. We're down to one politically active Koch Brother too.

I'm sure the beliefs and outlooks have been passed down through the family which will pick up the throne and carry on leaving us into the darkness.
