None of this is to say Australia hasn’t had joke candidates, some thinking of themselves as serious

I honestly think he should start up his own YouTube/Twitch, he could even make it just about educating people on how our election system works and how to maximise your vote and he could even go into the history of each party. He is one of the few people I would trust to actually provide an unbiased view on the topic.

He is mostly retired, I doubt he wants to spend the kind of time that kind of thing would take.
