Title: Libs targeting the homeless and Abos in next elec
Post by Redmond Neck on Nov 25th, 2021 at 8:26am
Arsehole Morriscum is apparently introducing dodgy legislation that requires voters to show proof of identity when voting in the next election.

This is obviously aimed at Abos and the homeless who might not have id and of course are likely to vote Labor.

Centre Alliance MP Rebekha Sharkie told NCA NewsWire the proposed laws may sound logical on face value but would likely cause voter participation among Indigenous and migrant populations to plummet.

“What we can see is a significant correlation between being remote and not participating in elections, and also being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander,” Ms Sharkie said.

“I do not want to support any legislation that would just add another barrier to Aboriginal people or remote people voting.”

The Copy America desire is irresistible to the right.

Even with no reason except to rort an election of course.

I can't  see remote Aborigines, busting to travel to vote but now wont take the 4 hour drive because they cant find their social security payment receipts behind the sofa sonewhere.  It is not about Aborigines at all, remote or not.  In any case, SIGNIFICANTLY MORE non-Aborigines than Aborigines live in remote or very remote Australia.

"The 53,500 remaining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (7%) lived in Remote Australia and Very Remote Australia (95,200 or 12.0%), while 239,900 Non-Indigenous people (1.0%) lived in Remote Australia and 106,300 or 0.5% in very remote Australia."

A much,  much larger cohort would be the metropolitan and regional urban population of temporary entrants who are not eligible to vote as they are not citizens or permanent residents.
Temporary visas
There were 1,720,788 people who held a temporary visa in Australia on 30 April 2021.
