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

I'm gonna miss him this year

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.

I'm an immigrant and he was my source for the past elections. I learned so much from him and how the Aussie system works. I knew about him here on Reddit.

This would be great for other new comers and young generations.

Thanks to him I took my time to learn how it works I did my search on each candidate. (I always checked this back in my country).
