What a pair of clowns (ALP and LNP)...

Also I really hate TikTok.

There are currently no rules at either the state or federal level to stop political parties and candidates from using AI-generated material in election campaigns.

That's true.

The Greens proportionally deserve 18.4 seats, but have only 4.

Labor deserves 48.9 seats but has 68.

LNP deserves 53.6, but has 58.

One Nation deserves 7.4, has 0.

It's actually a very easy calculation to do yourself. Literally just 150 × percentage 1st preference votes. Obviously it's not perfect, because if you change the voting system you also change how parties campaign, which changes how the votes turn out. But it's a good rough idea.

But uhh...I'm not really sure how this is relevant to this thread.
