Despite appointing a shadow minister for government efficiency, Dutton also kept Adelaide Liberal MP James Stevens in his role as the shadow assistant minister for government waste reduction.

40 years ago, all I did was vote Independent #1, now (last 20 years) I always vote Green and then preference independents until I run out.

It's getting harder at the arse end of the ballot paper; One Nation, Palmer, Libs, Nats, Labor, Jacqui Lambi Party (here in Tassie) etal are all shitty choices. How to rank them becomes tricker.

In 40 years voting at all levels, I've never voted for a candidate that's won, a statistic I'm oddly proud of as its not me contributing to the shit show of horrors.

That said, reading the story of Ali France in Dixon (the ALP candidate opposing Herr Dutton) I'd probably preference her #2 after The Greens, I'm in awe of her resilience.
