The plan this time around is to do some kind of table with issues, policies, and parties. Hopefully we’ll be able to compare like for like as much as possible.

If you’ve questions about particular parties, or have come across policy statements that we’ve not mentioned yet, please email DeadPapists[at]gmail[dot]com and let us know.

Dear Candidate [Name],

As I narrow down my preferences, I searched your website for policies in areas which are of particular concern for me. Being unable to find what I was looking for, I am emailing you a short set of 7 yes/no questions, mindful of your limited time.

1. Will you commit to voting for funding to the homelessness/housing affordability sector (especially the National Partnership Agreement on Housing (NPAH)) so that we can halve homelessness in Australia by 2025? 2. Will you commit to supporting mothers who choose to continue unexpected pregnancies through incentivising places of work & education to be flexible around their needs in the perinatal period? 3. Will you commit to opposing and preventing all suicides, including medically assisted suicide, through support for and provision of adequate health services? 4. Will you guarantee your support for Australia’s fulfilment of our duties under international law in all areas, including - but not limited to - the Conventions on the Refugee, the Child, and Human Rights? 5. Will you commit to dialoguing with Aboriginal Australians, particularly in WA, on recognition by treaty and/or in the Constitution, as each Nation decides? 6. Will you commit your support for, and to the provision of, exceptional and culturally appropriate health care services to people of Aboriginal &/or Torres Strait Islander background? 7. I’ll you commit your support for, and provision of services to, the victims sexual abuse (including assault), including but not limited to of family & domestic violence?
