Yes, how I envy your mandatory voting and alternate vote! Every country is dealing with Putin's propaganda stirring up the worst people, but I think Australia will hold the line.
As far as next month, people are mobilizing all over the country to protect the vote in the streets and in the court rooms. I say as one of them: if anybody tries to say when we win that this whole period wasn't as bad as all that, I am going to have to be restrained.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social We also have the Australian Electoral Commission, who are completely independent, monitoring all federal elections (state versions look after state elections) to keep everyone honest. It's fucking great and a system you guys need https://www.aec.gov.au/ Unlike Trump's fucking with voting powers.
