Just out of curiosity and in the spirit of balance, who was our best Prime Minister and why? And who would you vote for next time around?

    Lotta fondness for hawke. Most of our environmental protections come from his government - medicare, anti discrimination legislation, telling the uk to fuck off, etc etc.

    Plus the guy could belt schooners like the dickens

    Menzies oversaw the nation building that occurred after WW2 and everything that has come since has been heavily influenced by his work.

    Though I do rate Whitlam and Hawke highly as well so Im pretty happy with responses in this thread!

    I personally vote for the parties I want, not the person. But the USA election should be a big warning call to Labor. If they don’t do something about inflation and affordability and hold some of the big corps to account, they’re going to lose.

    Which reminds me. We haven’t had a prime minister backstabbing in a while
