What do you guys think about this? I think its a big positive.

Edit: After reading about this on hacker news, I get why they do it. Its to make people upload identification documents, to get them prepped to authenticate for using the internet. Now the world makes sense again. I was wondering why they would do something positive. But now I get it.

    with Labor getting over half the lower house seats from about a third of the votes

    Yikes. This is some really dangerous misinformation. Labor received 55% of the votes. Because we use an actual democratic system, not the FPTP farce that America and the UK have. You cannot compare first preferences in IRV to votes in FPTP.

      No, you have IRV, not any proportional system. IRV is better than most-takes-all but it’s still a malfunction. Labor ended up with 55% after voters for smaller parties were denied their first choice entirely.
