Hear hear. Sydney finally ousts the LNP after 12 years and they end up with a LNP religious-right Catholic in Labor clothes with Chris Minn. Its embarrassing, and its no wonder so many Aussies have trouble determining which party is more worthy of their vote.

This post is from nearly two years ago and if it were updated it would have a wealth of new examples such as yours.

I just hope the NSW voters learn that the best way to keep Labor honest is to vote Greens. Greens are such a small part of the vote that you’re unlikely to be voting in any new members (which would be ideal), but rather signalling your core issues as a voter. The Greens almost always share preferences with Labor as they do have loosely-aligned policy goals - and when the Greens vote share increases it signals to Labor that not only do they need to give stronger concessions to the Greens directly to earn their preference votes, but they really need to realign their policies further leftward to have a chance of retaining their power.

Flip-flopping between LNP voting and Labor voting just tells the Labor party that they need to approach a more centrist stance on policies, which is sadly what has been happening for a long time.
