John PIlger has quite the reputation. And on that basis I dont take much notice of people quoting him as do a lot of others. They are outdated rants from the discredited socialism experiements. And it was just the same quotes brought out yet again, from the same person no matter whatthe actual topic is. This thread is about voting systems. Why does  rant on employment have anything to do with it?

Posting ON TOPIC does wonders for credibility.

Why do you think that my last comment is a joke?
when the elections are held, there may be no candidate that a citizen wants to vote for, because most, if not all politicians are in politics for their own benefit and the politicians have sufficient resources and staff to answer citizens letters or e-mails.

In the book “Unemployment forever or a Support Income System and Work For All”, by Allan McDonald, on page 142 (h) it is stated: Any means tested welfare system requires extensive and complex state control and regulation. Australia is slowly but surely moving towards the ultimate outcome of a means tested social welfare system-state control over finances, the savings, and the labours of the poorest in the community.

Have the politicians of Australia the know-how and will to change the tax and social system to be more egalitarian, or was the late Professor A.J.Marshall right when he wrote, as quoted in the book “Equality and Authority” by S Encel on page212: “Most Australian politicians, he wrote, aspire to parliamentary seats ‘to better their salary, to inflate their egos and feather their nests’.

John Pilger in his book “The new rulers of the world” wrote on page 175: Like Britain and the US, Australia is a single ideology state with two competing factions, discernible largely by the personalities of their politicians. The difference between Howard’s conservative coalition and the opposition Labor Party is that Howards policies are not veiled. The Labor governments of the 1980s and early 1990s oversaw the greatest distribution of wealth in the country’s history: from bottom to top. They were Thatcherite and Reganite in all but name. Indeed, Tony Blair described then Prime Minister Paul Keating as his
‘inspiration’.
