The last desperate tricks of Liberal and Labor have a long history

This headline is from 1998 but no one would blame you for thinking it was printed last weekend.

It just goes to show, for decades the Liberal and Labor parties have been colluding to ensure that their cozy two-party grip on power isn't challenged.

Thankfully, because of federal voting reforms, political parties no longer control where your preferences go. Instead, voters have complete control over their own preferences.

It's you and you alone who has the responsibility of numbering your ballot in the order you choose, you have the final say.

The power is in your hands, so do your research and vote wisely and remember, it's not me the majors are really putting last, it's you.
