I've voted ALP all my life, and this is absolutely a votechanger for me.


To who though? The crew who were pushing it previously? Remember Alston? Both parties have spoken out against it when in opposition but pushed it while in power? And no one would believe for a second that Abbott wouldn't want this or worse.

Fair points from both of you, and I wouldn't be unhappy about voting for these mentioned, but you have to worry when your best bet is the Sex Party, your second option is almost dead, and the third hosts a strong supporter of the filter.

I was really disappointed to see the ALP pushing this.
